I think they also use large forklifts at some locations. Usually the forklift would be equipped with some sort of special equipment to unload the coils. The coils weigh @ 10,000 # per coil I think. The trucks I've seen hauling coils are rated for 40,000 lb payloads and I've never seen more than 4 coils on a trailer.
