Structure and controls for a demanding steelworks environment

The crane operates in a high-temperature, heavy-duty workshop. Its four-girder structure was developed with finite-element analysis, while material checks supported the fabrication programme.

PLC control and variable-frequency drives coordinate the movements. Protection functions include overload and limit protection and emergency braking.

Specify long-term support with the equipment

For a casting-crane enquiry, identify the load and lifting attachment, heat exposure, duty cycles, runway arrangement and required availability. Include inspection, maintenance access, spare parts and support responsibilities when reviewing the complete proposal.

YOUR NEXT LIFTING PROJECT

Plan the lifting equipment for your project.

Send the load including attachments, span, lifting height, operating duty and destination. Include your layout, required standards and delivery schedule so our team can review the crane configuration and quotation scope.
