ROLL HANDLING & TRANSPORTATION
Roll Storage Systems
Engineered Solutions for Safe, Efficient Storage & Movement of Heavy Rolls
Menzel Roll Storage Systems are designed to store, transport, and manage large rolls of textiles, nonwovens, films, foils, and industrial materials with maximum safety and efficiency. Built for continuous production environments, these systems protect roll quality, reduce manual handling, and streamline material flow from winding to finishing.
From the iconic Menzel A‑Frame system—introduced to the U.S. textile industry in 1965—to modern hydraulic jacks, unwind cradles, and roller accumulators, Menzel provides a complete portfolio of roll‑handling and storage solutions tailored to your facility.
Engineered for High‑Volume, Heavy‑Duty Roll Management
Menzel roll storage systems are built to handle large rolls safely and efficiently while minimizing floor space and operator effort. Key performance advantages include:
- High‑capacity storage for large rolls up to 40″ in diameter
- Protection against roll damage with minimal manual contact
- Smooth, controlled movement for transport and staging
- Efficient roll changeovers to support continuous production
- Custom configurations for roll size, weight, and material type
These systems support long production runs, reduce downtime, and maintain material integrity throughout the handling process.
