Extreme ambient temperatures, high dust exposure and strict safety regulations: specialised crane technology and great expertise are required in foundries. The Twin Drive Concept (TDC) is designed specially for transporting molten metals. TDC hoists have two motor-gear units and meet all requirements of DIN EN 14492-2 Annex 2 for the transport of molten metals.
In a foundry in Austria a single girder overhead travelling crane with a lifting capacity of 20,000 kg works in the hot environment of two casting furnaces. With the help of the cantilever crab manufactured specifically for this crane, it is possible to make optimum use of the hall.
A single girder overhead travelling crane with an SH 40 wire rope hoist works in the modern production plant of a foundry for high-strength castings. The hoist has a lifting capacity of 4,000 kg and is equipped with heat protection shields.
Heavy pre-cast concrete parts are transported and loaded on the outdoor premises of a production company in Egypt.
A double girder overhead travelling crane with an SH 5 wire rope hoist transports heavy concrete parts.
A magnet crane lifts variously long steel rods weighing up to 14,000 kg using a two-part lifting beam. To gain additional height of lift, the crane was constructed as double girder overhead travelling crane with the wire rope hoists running on top of the crane bridges. It is equipped with two SH wire rope hoists with a lifting capacity of up to 8,000 kg each.
