Steel Mill Cranes
Cranes used in steel mills need to participate in specific operations in the production process of steel raw materials, casting, finished products, and scrap.
The structure of the steel mill crane is similar to the ordinary overhead crane, but the hoist trolley has a special working structure.
Steel Mill Crane equipment plays a central role in improving your work efficiency and productivity.
It also streamlines your workflow and keeps employees safe on the shop floor.
We understand the hazards and challenges of the metal production industry: open flames, molten metal, high temperatures, hazardous loads, and continuous production needs.
The challenges and hazards of the metal production industry are frequent use, harsh working conditions, and high levels of work.
The challenges and hazards of the metal production industry are harsh working conditions: molten metal, open flames, high temperatures, frequent use: and continuous production demands.
Types of Steel Mill Cranes
Ladle Cranes
Ladle cranes are used to hoist liquid metal into mixing furnaces and steelmaking furnaces, and into continuous casting equipment or ingot molds. The main hoist is used for handling, and the auxiliary hoist performs auxiliary tasks such as tipping buckets.
| Load capacity | 5 to 550 tons |
| Span | 6 to 35 meter |
| Lifting speed | 6 to 13 m/min |
| Hoist running speed | 36 to 45.9 m/min |
| Crane running speed | 63 to 118.6 m/min |
| Work duty | A7 |
Electromagnetic Crane
Electromagnetic cranes are suitable for handling magnetic materials such as formed steel, bars, steel plates, billets, and pipes.
| Load capacity | 5 to 50 tons |
| Span | 10 to 35 meter |
| Lifting speed | 11.7 to 13.2 m/min |
| Hoist running speed | 31.3 to 37 m/min |
| Crane running speed | 58.5 to 74.3 m/min |
| Crane Control Options | Radio Controls, cab |
| Work duty | A4, A5, A6, A7 |
Double Trolley Cranes
Double Trolley Cranes are used to handle long strips of material such as bars and tubes.
| Load capacity | (2.5+2.5) to (200+200) tons |
| Span | 6 to 35 meter |
| Lifting speed | 2.1 to 11.5 m/min |
| Hoist running speed | 27 to 40 m/min |
| Crane running speed | 42 to 75 m/min |
| Work duty | A4, A5, A6, A7 |
Grab Overhead Cranes
Grab cranes are used for scrap handling and are ideal for grabbing pig iron, scrap steel, iron filings, slag, etc.
| Load capacity | 2 to 80 tons |
| Span | 8 m 20 m |
| Lifting speed | 6 to 11.5 m/min |
| Hoist running speed | 20 to 40 m/min |
| Crane running speed | 20 to 40 m/min |
| Work duty | A3, A4, A5, A6 |

Steel Mill Cranes Components
There are mainly bridges, crane walking systems, hooks, hoists, trolleys, and electrical equipment.
bridge
It consists of the main beam, end beam, walking plate, column, test cage, cabin, and platform.
Main beam
Welded box-type double main beam;
The steel plate material is steel Fe37 or Fe52;
The main end beam is contacted by high-strength bolts;
The main beam can be an ordinary track beam or a non-track beam;
end beam
The end beams are welded by rectangular tubes or high-quality steel plates;
The main beam and the end beam are contacted by bolts;
Crane Travel System
The ground control adopts a soft start, with a small current, no axial swing, less motor, suitable for the frequent start, and good green energy-saving effect.
The cabin controls our ZDR series tapered winding rotor, three-phase asynchronous motor, or electromagnetic brake motor, with high mechanical strength, compact structure, and adjustable braking torque.
The motor starts smoothly and brakes safely.
The sky wheel, platform wheel, and brake wheel are processed by medium frequency induction quenching and power frequency quenching, and the hardness of the heat treatment is controlled by a Leeb hardness tester.
Hook – Use a hook attached to the crane to support the lifted load (can also be a grapple, electromagnet, etc.).
Hoists – A device that lifts and holds, raises or lowers a load using a wire rope or chain hoist or electric winch.
Trolley – consists of a motor, a reducer, and a trolley frame.
The trolley supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane bridge in order to position the hoist and hook before picking up or lowering the load.
electrical equipment
The safety contact wire has high conductivity, low pressure, and high set electric sliding speed.
The wire ropes in the electric box are neat and easy to maintain.
The power supply of the trolley is provided by the flat cable.
Smooth sliding and beautiful appearance.
protective device
The outdoor crane is equipped with a hoisting mechanism, an electrical control box, and a rainproof device.
Set the trolley travel interval device.
anti-collision device
Sound and light alarm device
operating device
Pendants, Remote Controls, Cabin Controls
Dedicated cabins for overhead cranes or capsule cabs with a wide field of vision and comfortable operation.
Steel Mill Cranes Type
