Ladle Bridge Crane

Ladle Overhead Crane for Sale

Ladle overhead crane belongs to a type of metallurgy crane, also called casting overhead/bridge crane or foundry overhead/bridge crane. Ladle crane is specially designed for metallurgy and metal smelting plants to transport, pour and charge hot metal in the process of smelting liquid metal and so on. Typically, ladle bridge cranes are usually working in the temperature of -10°C to +50°C, and the relative humidity ＜50° at a temperature of 40°C. The radiation heat of the molten metal lifted by forging hooks or laminated hooks does not exceed 300°C. For high frequency and heavy load lifting, the working duty can reach A7 and A8.

Depending on the crane structure, the ladle overhead cranes can be classified into double girder double rail overhead travelling ladle cranes, four girder four rail overhead travelling ladle cranes, and four girder six rails overhead travelling ladle cranes. The front two types are used for lifting middle and large scale ladles, and the latter one is used for extremely large scale ladles. Apart from that, Yuantai can offer customized ladle overhead crane as per client's requirements

3. Over speed monitoring for main lifting mechanism; and Limit witch

Application of Ladle Bridge Crane

Ladle Bridge Crane travels along the rail track of the factory building, and the winch hoist does cross traveling on the crane girders, usually lifting steel products or molten metals with its hooks. It can be also a single girder overhead crane with a metal metallurgy heat resistance hoist .

Ladle Bridge Crane is developing into special cranes with a high degree of specialization for special industries. It is mainly used for lifting ladles, steel pipes, steel plates, coils, beam steel, steel craps, etc. in the field of metallurgy. The sling can be hook, grab, electromagnetic lifter, clamp, etc.

Ladle cranes are mainly used for metal smelting, rolling, and thermal processing. It is fitted with different spreaders such as hook, clamp, grab, magnetic beam, round magnetic lifting disc etc. for different tasks such as open-hearth feeding, ground feeding, socking pit handling, bin handling, ingot stripping, mold lifting, cover handling, clamping, slab turning, forging, heating furnace loading and reclaiming, scrap grabbing, steel pipe handling etc.
