Steel Mill Overhead Crane

Weihua overhead cranes for steel mill are designed for heavy-duty, high-temperature and continuous operation environments, covering the entire process from raw material handling to steelmaking, rolling and finished product storage. Weihua Group mainly provides the following types of cranes to steel mills: ladle cranes, casting cranes, charging cranes, forging cranes, quenching cranes, slab/billet handling cranes, and coil/plate handling cranes. With advanced safety systems, anti-sway technology and intelligent control, Weihua provides reliable and efficient overhead crane solutions for global steel mills. Casting cranes are key equipment in the continuous casting process of steelmaking. They are mainly used for transporting molten iron from the converter charging bay to the converter; in the refining bay, they lift molten steel ladles to the refining furnace; or in the molten steel receiving bay, they lift molten steel onto the continuous casting ladle slewing platform. Weihua designs and manufactures casting cranes that are technologically advanced, structurally innovative, safe and reliable, economical and durable, and easy to maintain. The following functions can also be provided as optional accessories according to customer needs: 1. Rotatable gantry hook lifting device. 2. Variable hook spacing gantry hook lifting device. 3. Gantry hook lifting device with rigid guide columns. 4. Precise weighing and display of load. The rotary feeding crane solves the problems of limited space, large tilting angle of material trough, and high feeding tonnage in steel plant production workshops. It features 270-degree rotation, high operability, high safety factor, high stability, and low friction, making it widely applicable in the steel industry. Forging cranes are one of the main pieces of equipment in large-scale forging manufacturing processes. They are used for lifting and turning metal billets, and, by incorporating buffer devices, to prevent damage to mechanisms or structural components caused by impact loads. Forging cranes mainly come in two structural forms: double-beam, double-rail, single-trolley and triple-beam, four-rail, double-trolley. Clamp cranes, with clamps parallel to the main beam, are used in fixed spans, indoors or outdoors, in steel mills, shipyards, ports, storage yards, and warehouses for loading, unloading, and handling steel slabs, profiles, and other materials. They are particularly suitable for lifting slabs of different specifications. Different clamps can be equipped to meet the lifting requirements based on the specifications (thickness, length, number of sheets, etc.) and weight of the materials being lifted.
Upon customer requirements, the following can be provided: speed adjustment for each mechanism (1:10 or greater), overload and alarm functions, remote control, PLC control and fault detection, and display systems.
