Scrap Handling Cranes and Hoist Systems
Used to load scrap into buckets, scrap removal cranes are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh, challenging environments with high levels of noise, vibration, and dust. Instrumental in managing the transport and sorting of scrap from yards to melt shops, these versatile cranes are typically high-duty and high-speed.
To meet specific application requirements, various specialty features are also available, including:
- End-carriages and bogies with surface-hardened wheels and heavy-duty reinforcements
- Power and signal cables designed via festoon system and attached to the crane girder
- Special heavy-duty trolley designs
- Easy-maintenance designs
- Reinforced box-style steel structuring for bridges and trolleys to combat deflection and vibration
- Ergonomic operator controls
- Heavy-duty hook blocks for load management and safety
Overhead Cranes for Scrap Handling Applications
Overhead crane design options are as varied as the industries they serve, and units built for scrap handling are no exception. To ensure you pick the best solution for your job, be sure keep the following factors in mind:
- Amount of cycle time needed
- Number of tons to be moved
- Distance to be moved
- Maximum lift height required
- Necessary below-the-hook devices (magnets, grapples, etc.)
No matter the size or weight required, American Crane & Equipment Corp.’s overhead designs provide safe, efficient load management with solutions that routinely exceed CMAA duty cycle requirements. With proper maintenance programs in place, our overhead units can last for over 50 years.
