Roll cradles adapted to package roll-up doors

A requirement was that the doors be packaged on a flatbed trailer so they could be shipped with the rest of Betco’s products, basically self-storage and general-purpose buildings. Joe Rabon, Betco’s purchasing manager at the time, discovered Fiberstax™ Recycled Fiber roll cradles by Rollguard® Products (Appleton, WI).

Betco now uses Rollguard’s Recycled Fiber FS-13-½ roll cradles, which have a three-roll configuration and come in hinged pairs. The roll cradles are 44” long, allowing them to fit precisely on Betco’s pallets. By stacking doors five layers high, Betco is able to ship 15 doors per pallet.
