Establish the lift basis
Calculate the filled ladle, beam and hook load for each refining move.
STEEL & METALLURGY / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
450 t Electric Furnace Ladle Handling Solution
Very heavy ladle movements need more than a nominal capacity: runway loads, heat, stopping behavior and crane redundancy all affect the melt-shop design.

THE LIFTING SOLUTION
Plan the heavy molten-metal lift around the actual furnace route.
Very heavy ladle movements need more than a nominal capacity: runway loads, heat, stopping behavior and crane redundancy all affect the melt-shop design.
Set the 450 t casting crane within a four-girder, four-rail handling plan. Define the filled ladle and rigging, hook approach, route clearances, controls and emergency actions before freezing the steelwork or runway.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Trace the hot route
Check furnace, transfer and pouring positions against span and hook coverage.
Commission protection
Verify travel, monitoring, braking and emergency operation with the project lift plan.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Structure and wheel loads
The four-rail layout must fit the building and its verified support capacity.
Safety monitoring
Specify alarm, recording and control interfaces suited to molten-metal service.

PROJECT 01
450 t four-girder casting crane project
The project used a customized 450 t four-girder, four-rail casting crane for molten-metal handling, with PLC control and whole-crane safety monitoring.
RELEVANT EQUIPMENT
Equipment options for this solution.
These product families support the handling tasks above. The final crane and attachment are selected from the site brief.
SPECIFICATION BRIEF
What we need to size your crane.
Send the operating brief and the relevant layout drawings. The resulting proposal can address capacity, geometry, duty, controls, installation interface and safety requirements as one system.
