自由容器
Engineered AroundYour Molten Metal Process
Ladle handling cranes are configured according to the total lifted load, process route, operating cycles, positioning requirements, molten metal temperature and site conditions.
Furnace to Ladle Transfer
Handling ladles at melting
and tapping areas
Ladle Furnace Operations
Positioning ladles for refining
and treatment
Continuous Casting
Molten steel transfer to
the casting process
Foundry Pouring
Controlled transport and pouring of molten iron
Ladle Preparation Areas
Empty ladle handling, lining
and maintenance support
Process Maintenance Lifts
Auxiliary lifting for equipment and refractory work
The total lifted load must include the molten metal, ladle body, lifting beam, hooks and all suspended equipment.

Technical Specifications
Core project data for ladle crane evaluation.
Final design depends on the total suspended load, working cycles,load spectrum, process route, thermal exposure, required redundancy
and destination requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ladle handling crane?
It is a process overhead crane engineered to transfer, position or pour ladles containing molten metal.
Is a ladle crane the same as a standard
double-girder crane?
No. A ladle crane requires project-specific evaluation of the total lifted load, thermal exposure, hoisting redundancy, braking, controls and molten-metal handling risks.
How is the rated capacity selected?
Capacity must include the molten metal, empty
ladle, ladle beam,hooks and every item suspended
below the crane.
Is every ladle crane a four-girder crane?
No. Double-girder and four-girder arrangements are both used. The final structure depends on capacity, span, risk level, process requirements and applicable standards.
Is every ladle crane a four-girder crane?
Capacity must include the molten metal, empty
ladle, ladle beam,hooks and every item suspended
below the crane.
Can the crane have main and auxiliary hoists?
Yes. The main hoist can handle the ladle while the
auxiliary hoist supports tilting, pouring or other
process operations.
Can it operate in extreme heat and dust?
Yes, when the structure, motors, brakes, cables, enclosures, lubrication and operator station are selected for the actual radiant heat, dust, fumes and ambient temperature.
What information is needed for an initial
proposal?
Maximum total lifted load, ladle drawing, process route, lifting height, operating cycles and temperature conditions.
