Process & Heavy-Duty Cranes
Engineered for demanding industrial operations
Our heavy-duty and process cranes are designed for continuous operation, high lifting frequencies and demanding industrial environments. Each system is engineered to provide safe load handling, precise positioning, structural reliability and long service life.
Solutions can be configured according to operating conditions, lifting capacity, duty requirements and specific process needs.
With robust steel structures, precise motion control, reliable hoisting systems, and configurable designs, process cranes can be adapted to different lifting capacities, spans, operating conditions, and material-handling requirements.
High Lifting Capacity
Engineered for heavy loads and demanding operating conditions.
Precise & Smooth Control
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) provide controlled acceleration, deceleration and accurate load positioning.
Reliable Structural Design
Main girders and load-bearing components are engineered for static, dynamic and fatigue loads associated with continuous crane operation.
High Operational Reliability
Heavy-duty components are selected for repetitive operation and extended service life.
Reduced Maintenance
Optimized mechanical components and drive systems help reduce wear, downtime and maintenance requirements.
Integrated Safety Systems
Safety functions can include overload protection, emergency stops, travel limit switches, anti-collision systems, load monitoring and electrical protection systems.
Process Crane Engineering
Process cranes are designed as an integral part of industrial production processes where reliability, positioning accuracy and operational continuity are critical.
1.Hoisting Group & Trolley
The hoisting and trolley systems are designed for repetitive heavy-duty operation, providing stable load distribution, smooth cross travel and accurate positioning throughout the crane span.
2.Wire Rope & Reeving System
High-strength wire ropes, precision-machined sheaves and optimized reeving arrangements provide reliable lifting performance while reducing rope wear and improving load distribution.
For critical applications, redundant reeving configurations can be incorporated according to operational and safety requirements.
3.End Carriages & Travel System
Heavy-duty end carriages incorporate precision-machined wheels, bearings and drive units to provide stable crane travel, accurate positioning and reliable operation under demanding service conditions.
4.Fail-Safe Braking
Electromagnetic fail-safe brakes are designed to engage automatically in the event of power loss. Critical lifting applications can also be equipped with redundant braking arrangements.
5.Main Girder & Structural Safety
The crane structure is manufactured from high-strength structural steel and engineered according to the required loading conditions.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be used during the engineering stage to evaluate:
- Stress distribution
- Structural stability
- Deflection
- Fatigue performance
- Critical load paths
The objective is to achieve a safe, rigid and durable structure suitable for continuous heavy-duty operation.
6.Electrical Control & Drive Technology
PLC-based control systems provide coordinated crane operation, monitoring and diagnostics.
Variable Frequency Drives can be applied to hoisting, trolley and bridge motions to provide:
- Smooth acceleration and deceleration
- Precise speed control
- Improved positioning accuracy
- Reduced mechanical shock and wear
- Improved operational efficiency
Remote monitoring, automation and condition-based maintenance functions can also be integrated where required.
Cranes for the Steel Industry
Built for Steel Production
Steel manufacturing requires cranes capable of operating under high temperatures, intensive duty cycles, heavy loads and demanding production schedules.
Our crane solutions can be engineered for applications including:
- Molten metal ladle handling
- Scrap charging
- Billet and slab transport
- Coil handling in rolling mills
- Continuous casting operations
- Furnace charging and maintenance
For critical steel-production applications, crane structures, hoisting systems, braking arrangements and control systems can be specifically engineered according to the required duty class and operating environment.
Cranes for Power Generation Facilities
Reliable Lifting for Energy Infrastructure
Industrial cranes are used throughout the construction, installation, maintenance and overhaul of power-generation equipment.
Crane solutions can be engineered for:
- Thermal power plants
- Combined-cycle power plants
- Hydroelectric power plants
- Renewable energy facilities
- Power plant construction and maintenance
- Gas and steam turbine installation and servicing
- Generator and major equipment handling
Accurate positioning and controlled lifting are particularly important during turbine, generator and other heavy equipment installation and maintenance operations.
