Why Choose Cradle Pallets Fabric Roll Storage Systems ?

Storing and transporting fabric rolls comes with unique challenges uneven weight distribution, risk of deformation, unsafe stacking and wasted warehouse space. Traditional flat pallets and generic storage systems often fail to provide the stability and protection that rolled materials require. Cradle pallets are designed specifically to support cylindrical and rolled products, making them an ideal solution for fabric rolls, textiles, films, cables and metal coils across multiple industries.

Challenges in Fabric & Roll Storage

Common Problems Faced by Textile & Roll-Based Industries

• Fabric rolls slipping or shifting during storage
• Edge damage, creasing, or deformation due to uneven support
• Unsafe stacking leading to handling risks
• Inefficient use of vertical and horizontal warehouse space
• Manual handling issues impacting productivity

These challenges are especially common in textile manufacturing, garment processing, non-woven fabric storage, and packaging film warehouses.

How Cradle Pallets Solve These Problems? 

Designed for Rolled Materials
Cradle pallets feature contoured rails or saddles that support rolls evenly along their diameter, preventing flat spots and roll movement during storage or transport.

Improved Safety & Stability
By securely cradling fabric rolls in place, these pallets reduce the risk of roll shifting during forklift handling improving operator safety and minimizing product damage.

Optimized Space Utilization
Cradle pallets allow for organized stacking and racking, enabling better vertical storage and improved warehouse layout efficiency compared to loose floor storage.

Reduced Material Damage
Even load distribution helps preserve fabric quality, which is critical for textiles, specialty fabrics and coated materials sensitive to pressure.

Industry Use Cases Beyond Textiles

While widely used in textile facilities, cradle pallets are equally effective for other roll-based industries:

Textiles & Fabric Rolls

• Woven and non woven fabrics
• Upholstery and technical textiles
• Carpet and industrial fabric rolls

Packaging & Film

• Plastic films
• Paper rolls
• Flexible packaging materials

Metal & Industrial Materials

• Metal coils
• Wire spools and cables
• Building material rolls

When to Choose Cradle Pallets Over Standard Pallets

Cradle pallets are the right choice when:

• Products are cylindrical or roll-shaped
• Load stability is critical during transport
• Product surface protection is required
• Floor or rack space needs optimization
• Manual handling needs to be reduced

For other pallet types and general selection guidance, refer to our Pallet Selection Guide.

Customization for Industry Specific Needs

Different industries require different roll-handling solutions. Cradle pallets can be customized based on:

• Roll diameter and weight
• Surface protection requirements
• Forklift or rack compatibility
• Single or multi-roll configurations

This ensures each storage system aligns with operational and safety requirements.
