The company reports the new cradles locking hubs and end tabs provide significantly improved
loading and shipping safety and stability; while its construction provides cushioning for sensitive
goods, and its design enables nesting of more cradles per pallet. Other features include denesting
hubs that facilitate separation of stacked cradles, a smooth surface that protects rolls from
damage, and a crowned contour that relieves pressure on roll edges. Cradle lips to protect roll
ends and help prevent slippage are available as options.
