Engineering Excellence in Metalworking
Bar, Plate, and Coil Handling Equipment
The team at American Crane & Equipment Corp. builds high-performance material handling solutions to meet the demands of some of the harshest industries on Earth — clean rooms, shipping facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and aerospace operations, just to name a few.
Our specialty crane and hoist systems are also used in steel rolling mill operations to ensure uninterrupted, reliable service.
Below, we’ve highlighted our coil, bar, and plate handling crane solutions, all of which are specifically designed to withstand severe metalworking environments and offer long-lasting, consistent performance.
Redefining Industrial Lifting Solutions
Coil, Bar, and Plate Handling Cranes
Our high-performance lifting solutions are not limited to rolling mills. They are also utilized in various other specialized industrial environments. These cranes are designed to handle metal bars, plates, and coils safely and precisely throughout all machining processes. Typically, coil, bar, and plate handling cranes are designed for indoor and outdoor use with a double-girder design. Their electro-mechanical spring-applied, electrically released shoe or disc brakes ensure optimal safety. Besides, they come equipped with several unique features, including:
- Rotating trolleys to aid in positioning
- High capacities, ranging from 5 to 550 tons
- Spans ranging from 10.5 to 31.5 meters
- Specialty overhead below-the-hook solutions, such as standard hooks, grabs, magnets, C-hooks, hydraulic tongs, and carrier beams
- Remote-control features including programmable logic controllers, allowing the crane to monitor its own conditions and offering smart features and maintenance alerts, as well as remote and cabin-based control options
- Optional slewing functions
- High-strength, helical or planetary reducers for high precision, efficiency, and heavy duty bearing capacity.
These unique cranes also have smooth operating motors optimized for intermittent, short-term, frequent starts and braking. They can be crafted with manual, semi-automated, and fully automated functions in single- and multi-trolley arrangements.
