PRODUCTS & CASES

Slab Clamp Overhead Crane is a specialized metallurgical bridge crane designed for the safe and efficient handling of high-temperature steel slabs in steel plants and continuous casting production lines.

The crane adopts a heavy-duty bridge structure consisting of main girders, end carriages, trolley traveling mechanisms, and a specially designed slab clamping device. The main girder features a high-strength box structure with excellent load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity, ensuring stable operation under heavy-duty working conditions.

The end beams connect the bridge structure with the traveling wheels, allowing smooth longitudinal movement along the crane runway. With a compact layout and heat-resistant design, the slab clamp crane is specially adapted to harsh industrial environments featuring high temperatures, heavy dust, and continuous production requirements.

Equipped with advanced clamping technology and reliable control systems, this crane provides an efficient solution for slab transportation, stacking, transfer, and process connection in modern metallurgical plants.

Slab Clamp Overhead Crane is mainly used in metallurgical industries where high-temperature material handling, heavy loads, and precise positioning are required.

Continuous Casting Workshops

At the outlet of continuous casting machines, the crane grips and transports hot steel slabs from the cutting area to storage yards or slow-cooling pits, ensuring smooth connection between casting and subsequent production processes.

Steel Rolling Production Lines

In hot rolling mills, the crane transfers slabs from storage areas or furnace entrances to rolling mill roller tables, providing continuous material feeding for rolling operations.

Slab Storage and Warehouse Management

The crane performs slab stacking, turning, sorting, and loading operations. When integrated with automated management systems, it supports intelligent slab storage and retrieval.

Slab Repair and Recycling Operations

Used for transporting defective slabs to grinding or repair areas, then returning processed slabs to storage. It also supports classification and temporary storage of recycled materials for secondary rolling.

High Load Capacity

Designed for heavy metallurgical applications, the slab clamp crane is available in multiple lifting capacities, including:

• 35 tons

• 50 tons

• 65 tons

With a working class up to A7, it can meet the requirements of frequent slab handling operations in steel production environments.

High Temperature Resistance Performance

Developed specifically for steel and metallurgical applications, the crane can safely handle high-temperature slabs ranging from approximately 300°C to 800°C.

Key heat-resistant features include:

• Heat-resistant steel clamps

• Thermal insulation protection

• Cooling system for hydraulic components

• High-temperature resistant mechanical parts

These features ensure stable operation during continuous casting and rolling processes.

Intelligent Automatic Control

The crane integrates advanced PLC control and variable frequency drive technology to achieve accurate coordination of:

• Lifting movement

• Crane traveling

• Trolley operation

• Slab clamping actions

With intelligent positioning accuracy of less than ±5 mm, the system supports:

• Remote control operation

• Automatic operation modes

• Smart workshop integration

This reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency.

Reliable Structure and Long Service Life

The crane adopts a heavy-duty box girder or truss-type structure designed for long-term industrial operation.

Important components include:

• Heat-resistant wire ropes

• Dust-proof bearings

• Heavy-duty traveling mechanisms

• Reinforced structural components

Multiple safety systems ensure reliable performance:

• Overload protection

• Travel limit protection

• Emergency braking system

With proper maintenance, the crane can achieve a service life of more than 20 years.

Flexible Clamping Configuration

The slab clamp system can be customized according to different production layouts.

The clamp installation direction can be configured:

• Parallel to the main girder

• Perpendicular to the main girder

This flexibility allows the crane to adapt to different workshop arrangements, slab transportation methods, and production processes.

We provide customized slab clamp crane solutions according to steel plant layouts, production processes, and material handling requirements.

Customization Options Include

• Lifting capacity

• Slab size and weight

• Crane span

• Lifting height

• Clamp structure

• Control mode

• Cooling system configuration

• Automation level

Our engineering team develops specialized metallurgical crane systems to ensure safe handling of high-temperature slabs, efficient production connection, and reliable long-term operation.
