Yuantai Solution

Casting crane for sale. Customized casting crane,high precision & reliable safety, double separating braking. Casting crane design for your steel mill.

Casting overhead cranes are used for transporting, pouring, and charging hot metal during the smelting process of liquid metal, among other things. Yuantai Crane's casting crane is a specially designed steel mill crane for the steel industry.

Ladle overhead cranes are classified into three types based on their crane structure: Double Girder Double Rail casting crane, Four Girder Four Rail Casting Crane, and Four Girder Six Rails Casting Crane. The first two types are used to lift medium and large scale ladles, while the latter is used to lift extremely large scale ladles. Yuantai Better Crane can provide customized ladle overhead cranes with unlimited lifting capacity.

The casting crane will be designed with different configurations depending on its capacity. When the capacity is less than 75 tons, double girder overhead crane designs are utilized, whereas multiple crane girder such as 4 girder designs are employed when the capacity is greater than 75 tons.

Ladle hook of heavy duty casting crane

The main grabbing device is the main hook, a fixed-spacing hook also known as a ladle hook that is used to lift foundry ladles; the auxiliary hook is used in conjunction with the main ladle hook to dump molten iron and perform other subsidiary lifting operations.

Features of casting cranes

Reliable casting crane with high precision and safety, as well as a double brake and separating braking system to ensure the safety of your crane operation.

  • ·Strong beam girders. The casting crane beams are welded together. As a result, the dead weight is reduced while maintaining a high degree of vertical and horizontal rigidity and smaller wheel loads. Outstanding heat resistance thanks to the addition of a thermal-protective coating at the bottom of the main beam!
  • Cabin control: A modern cabin control with an air conditioner to keep operators safe from the harsh environment!
  • Electrical equipment: Siemens or Schneider brand electric systems!
  • Position precision is very high. The casting crane can be equipped with a rotating trolley to properly position the product in relation to the conveyor.
  • High accessibility. The casting crane is outfitted with a variety of redundant features and technical solutions, including dive and network units.
  • Running smoothly and safely. To start steadily and safely, the traveling motor can be a soft start motor or a frequency adjustable-speed motor.
  • 2 distinct braking systems We always make two brakes for each mechanism of the casting crane to make it safer. High-quality hydraulic thrusters are also essential for the brake's proper operation! Stopper safety limit switches will be provided to prevent overtravel in all motions.

Features on casting crane safety

The most important consideration for a casting crane is safety. The following safety devices are installed in the casting crane to ensure its safety.

  • Overhead protection: If the material exceeds the capacity, the casting crane will sound an audible warning to protect itself.
  • Emergency brake: If the operation staff encounters an emergency situation, we can activate the emergency brake system to protect the related treasure.
  • Crane control: To avoid any injuries to the operation staff, use room control or remote control.
  • Hooks with a latch: to keep goods from falling down.
  • Lifting motor: The main lifting motor has thermal and currency protection.

Casting Crane Frequently Asked Questions

These are the questions buyers ask most often before choosing a casting crane for a steel mill or foundry. If your situation is not covered here, send us your capacity, span, lifting height, working duty and ladle type, and our engineers will follow up.

A casting crane is built for hot metal work: transporting, pouring and charging liquid metal during smelting. That is why it comes with double brakes and a separating braking system on each mechanism, a thermal-protective coating on the bottom of the main beam, a fixed-spacing ladle hook as the main hook, and an auxiliary hook for dumping molten iron. A general overhead crane does not carry this level of heat and safety protection.
The QDY covers 5 to 74 tons, working class A7, ambient temperature -10 to 60°C. The YZ covers 5 to 320 tons, working class A6 to A7, ambient temperature -10 to 50°C. If your capacity is above 75 tons, the crane is built with a four girder design instead of a double girder design. Tell us your ladle weight and pouring cycle, and we will confirm which one fits.
Every mechanism has two brakes. The crane also has overhead protection that sounds an audible warning if the load exceeds capacity, an emergency brake system, hooks with latches, thermal and currency protection on the main lifting motor, and stopper safety limit switches to stop overtravel in all motions. Cabin control or remote control keeps the operator away from the heat.
Yes. The main beam has a thermal-protective coating at the bottom, the girders are welded for heat resistance, and the cabin has an air conditioner for the operator. On service, the whole crane system carries a one-year warranty. After that, maintenance continues at a low charge, an exclusive assistance engineer is assigned, and spare parts are available at a reasonable cost.
