In
steel mills a big "C" or an upside down "U" type grabbing
hook suspended from an overhead crane move the coils around. The
center area on each coil cover is for the hooks to grab. The four supports
on the coil car covers are "rests." There isn't always a lot of
room in the yards where the coils are loaded or unloaded and before the
coils can be loaded the covers must be removed. Many times the covers
will be stacked on top of each other and that is what the rest are for.
This is also why you see the hoods of different roads matched with different
cars, as crane operators often don't bother refitting hoods back to the
correct car. (thanks E. Klepzig and B.
McClung)
