Casting Bridge Crane

Casting Bridge Crane

Precision and Safety for High-Temperature Steel Mill Environments

In the harsh and demanding environment of modern steelmaking, where molten metal temperatures can exceed 1500°C, safety and reliability are not optional—they’re fundamental. The Henan Mine Casting Bridge Crane is specifically engineered for steel mill foundry operations, offering stable, heat-resistant, and precisely controlled lifting of ladles filled with molten steel, iron, or slag.

With over two decades of experience supplying custom overhead crane systems to foundries in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia, Henan Mine provides lifting solutions that meet both international metallurgical standards and the unique demands of each production site.

Features
Casting Bridge CraneFeatures
Thermal Resistance:
Heat shields and insulation panels are installed beneath the main girders to reduce heat stress from radiant molten steel.
Encapsulated Components:
Electrical gear, drive systems, and control circuits are sealed and fan-cooled to prevent damage from ambient heat and steel fumes.
Four-Point Travel Drive:
Ensures smooth, even motion of the crane even under asymmetrical load conditions, reducing mechanical fatigue.
High-Visibility Digital Weighing System:
Built-in weighing module with real-time readout visible from both the operator’s cabin and the bridge platform.
Anti-Swing Technology:
Precision control systems minimize load sway, especially during ladle lifting and pouring operations.

REAL CUSTOMER INSIGHT
REAL CUSTOMER INSIGHT
“Before upgrading to Henan Mine’s dual-trolley casting crane, our foundry struggled with ladle tilting accuracy. Since installation, pouring precision has improved by over 30%, and unplanned maintenance is down 50%. The cabin view and weighing display save our operators time and effort.”
— Chief Production Engineer, Rolling Mill Project (Eastern Europe)
