German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / steel coil

German term or phrase: eine Tüte ziehen

This has happened to a steel coil - it has been pulled out from the centre to form a "Tüte" - just like loosely wound wrapping paper if you don't pick it up properly.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks to everyone who had a go, "tapered coil" does appear to be the correct; however, you could have provided a reference John!
