The metal industry requires high-capacity cranes that can withstand extreme conditions, such as heat and heavy loads. Cranesmith’s overhead and gantry cranes are built to manage these conditions, providing reliable lifting solutions for metal production, processing, and storage.
Applications and Uses:
- Steel Mill Operations: Overhead cranes are ideal for handling molten metal, raw materials, and large steel coils within steel mills and foundries.
- Metal Fabrication: Gantry cranes provide the strength and precision needed for moving heavy metal components during fabrication processes.
- Metal Stock Handling: Jib cranes are perfect for localized handling in storage areas, lifting and positioning metal sheets, bars, and coils.
Possible solutions to Metal Industry in collaboration with STREET HOISTS :
- Many businesses around the world rely on Street technology for the handling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Lifting and handling metals in various states places very high demands on cranes and hoists. Typically high speeds, extreme levels of equipment utilization, high performance and high reliability are required, all under arduous and challenging ambient conditions. The Street VX heavy duty open winch hoist and range of standard and special high-performing crane solutions enables us to deliver reliable cost effective solutions.
- Molten metal handling cranes - Specialised ladle handling cranes for transporting molten metals from a furnace to casting areas. Particular attention is paid to the unique safety issues with secondary braking systems, safety rated controls and other backup systems to comply with European standards.
- Billet handling cranes - Billets of ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be transported from a continuous casting machine conveyor to the storage area or to a rolling mill. Again, safety is the primary consideration due to the incredibly high temperatures and weight of products being transported.
- Coil handling cranes - VX hoists provide a true vertical lift enabling steel coils to be placed precisely whilst eliminating any sideways drag. The hoist’s open frame design provides easy access to major components for servicing.
- An external brake operating on the first gearbox shaft, away from the drive motor,remains cooler in use and is also more easily inspected and serviced.
