The demand for iron, steel, aluminum, and copper continues to grow, and so does the need for reliable material handling. In scrap yards, steel mills, rolling mills, and electrolysis workshops, cranes are not just equipment — they are a key part of daily production.
At Yuantai Crane, we understand that reliability is the first priority. Any unexpected downtime can lead to material waste, safety risks, and reduced output — something no steel plant can afford.
In real steel mill conditions, the requirements are much more demanding:
In short, every process in a steel plant has different lifting challenges. That's why Yuantai Crane provides tailored crane solutions — designed to match your actual working conditions and keep your production running safely and efficiently.
Handling molten metal, scrap, or bulk materials in a steel plant is not the same as general lifting. You need the right crane for each process — safe, reliable, and built for your actual working conditions. Below are the most commonly used steel mill cranes and where they fit in your operation.
If your operation involves molten iron or molten steel, this is the crane you are looking for. It is designed specifically for high-risk, high-temperature steelmaking environments.
Typical Applications:
Key Features:
Why it fits your steel plant:
Designed to minimize risk and downtime when handling molten metal — where safety is critical and failure is not an option.
If you handle scrap, coal, slag, sand, or ore, this crane is the practical solution for fast and efficient bulk material handling.
Typical Applications:
Key Features:
Why it fits your operation:

For a range of applications in foundries, we have the correct crane solutions: casting cranes with up to four crane girders for safe and effective ladle handling. In-house transfer of casting components (e.g., mold boxes) and handling of the castings to be processed with double-girder overhead traveling cranes.
Scrap metal is a major raw material for steel production, arriving by sea, rail, or road. Cranes must quickly and safely unload transport vehicles to keep operations flowing.
High-speed grab overhead cranes and high-speed electromagnetic cranes are recommended. Grab claws can handle irregular scrap, and magnets can lift entire metal sheets. Cranes are adaptable to load type, site conditions, and automation needs.
Typical Industrial Cranes:
Typical Capacity: 10–50 tons, depending on scrap type and transport vehicle size.
The smelting workshop is a hazardous environment with dust, hot metal, and open flames. Cranes must safely transport liquid metal drums.
Manufacturing molten steel: Ladle cranes lift molten iron, mix with scrap, and feed furnaces. Auxiliary cranes open and close hoppers. Equipment includes oxygen or electric arc furnaces.
Cast molding: Pouring cranes mix molten steel in correct proportions. Tundish cranes handle molten steel maintenance and casting operations.
Multifunctional cranes: Ladle, loading, gate, and tundish cranes serve multiple functions and act as backups. Additional hoists assist with cleaning ladles or lifting furnace shells.
Typical Industrial Cranes:
Typical Capacity: 10–200 tons for ladle cranes, 5–50 tons for auxiliary cranes, 30–100 tons for tundish cranes.
Slabs and billets from the smelting plant are incandescent and ductile, requiring cranes for transport to rolling mills or storage.
Move hot metal: Highly maneuverable EOT cranes transfer billets/slabs from casting to storage or feeding into rolls. They can also move reheated steel for further forming.
Load handling devices: Mechanical/hydraulic clamps, magnets, and C-hooks handle various shapes and sizes. Devices must be insulated for radiant heat.
Positioning aid: Rotating trolleys and lifting beams help place steel precisely on conveyors. Auxiliary cranes assist with large objects and maintenance.
Storage and staging: Some steel products are shipped immediately, while others go to storage facilities.
Typical Industrial Cranes:
Typical Capacity: 5–50 tons for billets/slabs, 5–20 tons for coils, 20–80 tons for hot slab transfer cranes.
Electric overhead cranes (EOT) are installed above warehouse storage areas. Wall console cranes are suitable for smaller facilities or as auxiliary cranes in large operations.
Smart features include target positioning, sway control, and load floating to improve efficiency and reduce wear.
Spreader accessories allow easy handling of plates, tubes, coils, and other steel products. Yuantai provides professional hook extensions for all steel loads.
Typical Industrial Cranes:
Typical Capacity: 2–20 tons for single-girder cranes, 10–50 tons for double-girder cranes, 1–10 tons for wall console cranes.
Overhead cranes are essential in steel mills for handling heavy steel products like ingots, billets, and coils. These cranes are built to perform under the intense conditions of the steel industry, offering reliable performance and safety in high-demand environments.
Typical Crane Type: Double Girder Cranes, commonly used for stability and heavy loads.
Typical Lifting Capacity: 10–100 tons, tailored to meet the demands of steel mills.
Applications:
These cranes help steel mills maintain smooth operations while minimizing risks associated with heavy load handling.
Scrap metal handling requires cranes that are fast, reliable, and durable, efficiently managing a variety of scrap metal materials.
Typical Crane Type: Grab Bucket Cranes, ideal for compact, cost-effective scrap handling solutions.
Typical Lifting Capacity: 5–20 tons, perfect for scrap metal, industrial waste, and car parts.
