<p>Cylindrical objects such as rolled coils (1,2,3 ; 36,37) are frequently stored supported on rows of supporting members (32) which rows have along their length a regularly repeating hill and valley profile (34,35). With increasing coil size and weight the supporting members (30,31) tend increasingly to become damaged and stacks of several layers of coils (1,2,3) become less stable. To ameliorate these problems the supporting members (30,31) are made of a resiliently deformable material such as a low density polyethylene and are so shaped when not deformed that the hill (34) and valley (35) profile has a series of upwardly projecting ridges (33), sloping regions (34) extending downwardly away from each side of each ridge (33), and substantially horizontal regions (35) between the sloping regions (34). Preferably each supporting member has one centrally disposed ridge (33), a sloping region (34) on each side of the ridge (33), and half of a horizontal region (35) at each end.</p> |
