Literature describing various products for use in coil storage systems was included with your request. All are molded of recycled polyethylene. The rollstops, rollblocks, rollcradles, storageblocks and roller storageblocks are used for the storage of coils and rolling mills. The fix- flex racks are used for the storage of oil country tubular goods. These products are molded in various shapes which cradle, support and prevent shifting of heavy steel cylindrical products. The KLP storage beams are used for the storage of various kinds of heavy products, such as molds. They are in the form of rectangular beams, with a square or rectangular cross section. The edges have not been further worked. The KLP coilwedge system is designed for the storage of coils with a small width. The KLP oiltray is designed for the storage of oil protected coils. The oiltray is available with or without a depression running through the middle which acts as an oil reservoir. The coilwedge and oiltray are imported in lengths, and have complex cross-sections which are uniform throughout the length. These are considered to be profile shapes for tariff purposes.
