Leave a Comment
In metalworking environments, efficiency, precision, and safety are crucial. From handling massive metal coils to precisely lifting plates and bars, your operations rely on the strength and performance of your material handling equipment. At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO) we’ve been delivering high-performance lifting solutions to some of the world’s harshest industries for over 50 years, including steel rolling mills and metal fabrication plants.
Custom-Designed Cranes for Metalworking
Whether you’re operating in a clean room, shipping facility, wastewater treatment plant, or an aerospace operation, ACECO builds material handling solutions that exceed industry standards. We specifically design our specialty crane and hoist systems to handle the challenges of metalworking operations, ensuring consistent, long-lasting performance.
Our coil, bar, and plate handling cranes are built to withstand the harsh environments found in steel rolling mills and other metalworking facilities. Here’s how our cranes can optimize your operations:
Coil, Bar, and Plate Handling Cranes
Handling large metal coils, bars, and plates requires precise lifting, movement, and positioning. American Crane crafts solutions with both safety and performance in mind, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor metal handling applications.
Key features of our metal handling cranes include:
- High capacities ranging from 5 to 550 tons
- Spans from 10.5 to 31.5 meters
- Rotating trolleys for easy positioning
- Specialty below-the-hook solutions such as standard hooks, grabs, magnets, C-hooks, hydraulic tongs, and carrier beams
In addition to these essential capabilities, our cranes can be outfitted with advanced remote-control features like programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This intelligent system allows the crane to monitor its own conditions and alert operators to necessary maintenance, ensuring both safety and operational efficiency. You can control cranes manually, remotely, or from the cabin, providing versatility to meet your specific operational needs.
Precision Engineering for Tough Applications
Built with helical or planetary reducers, our cranes deliver high precision, efficiency, and heavy-duty bearing capacity. They also feature:
- Smooth-operating motors optimized for intermittent, short-term, and frequent starts and stops.
- Electro-mechanical brakes with spring-applied, electrically released shoe or disc options, ensuring reliable stopping power.
- Slewing functions (optional) to enhance crane mobility.
Whether you need manual, semi-automated, or fully automated operation, ACECO offers single and multi-trolley arrangements to suit your project.
