Abstract
In an aspect of the invention, there is provided a coil cradle for supporting a coil over a floor. The coil cradle comprises one or more pairs of opposing coil wedges secured to a support structure. Each coil wedge has a support surface for supporting the coil thereupon. The wedges in each pair of wedges are arranged such that their support surfaces and the support structure form a valley within which the coil is supported in use. In use, the support surface of each coil wedge is oriented at approximately 14° to horizontal.
