The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgical production, in particular to a steel coil preparation station. The steel coil preparation station comprises a base, a backing roller station and a pair of end shears as well as a band end treatment device located between the backing roller station and the pair of end shears, wherein the band end treatment device comprises a pressing roller, a leaning roller and a carrier roller; and the leaning roller and the pressing roller are positioned at two sides above the carrier roller, are driven by driving devices to press downwards and are matched with the carrier roller for lifting band steel to apply force to the upper side and lower side of the band steel to complete the straightening of the head of the band steel during threading of the band steel and/or the shaping of the head of the band steel during rewinding of the band steel. The steel coil preparation station has the beneficial effects that the head of the band steel is straightened by the band end treatment device, so that the band steel can be successfully threaded and enters the pair of end shears; after the crop end of the band steel is rewound, the band end treatment device causes the head of the band steel to slightly bend upwards and take shape, thereby making preparations for the next working procedure; and the production efficiency is improved.
