The Sheffield Metals Arlington branch recently evaded near-disaster when a rainstorm hit at the exact moment coils were being loaded onto a truck’s flatbed. What happened next shows why our SMI team members are committed to providing only the very best for our customers.

Per Sheffield Metals Arlington branch manager, Derek Leslie:

“It was shaping out to be a good day with rain cooperating most of the day, that is until 4:05 pm, when the sky opened up on a freshly loaded Conestoga trailer.”

Freshly loaded coils started being drenched in the downpour.

“With the assistance of plant lead Mel Mitchell from our East Chicago branch, our Arlington production crew snaped into action.”

Luckily Sheffield coils are shipped in waterproof coil toppers, designed for exactly these types of scenarios.

“These toppers saved everyone thousands of dollars, and countless hours of labor had the coils been exposed to all the water directly on top. Our main concern was repackaging the wet cardboard sheet coverings and then meticulously drying all the tops of the coils. The Arlington crew was able to dry and repackage all the material and reload the truck.”

Then another downpour hit.

“A new wave of rain was propelled by powerful wind, causing the Conestoga tarp covering to fly open once again, exposing the materials. The team ran into action and HELD the tarp from either end while the truck driver locked it into place.”

After a few minutes, the driver secured the cover.

“Coil and sheets were delivered to their happy customer, and material was saved from total loss by the actions of everyone involved that day. Like we also say in Arlington, our team bleeds Sheffield Blue!”

Thanks to the Arlington team for going above and beyond to fulfill this order.
