Turkey Steel Plant — 20t Overhead Crane Project

This entry is an anonymized application scenario, not a documented delivery record. Capacities and layout values are indicative.

Application background

In a steel plant finishing section, overhead cranes feed plate and billet to roller tables, turn material for inspection and move it to dispatch. Loads are regular and heavy, cycles are frequent, and the crane works alongside continuous process equipment where availability matters.

Configuration considerations

A 20 t double girder overhead crane suits slab and plate handling with moderate spans, with the duty class raised above warehouse levels to reflect plant operation. Hook height follows the roller table and stacking height, and maintenance walkways on the crane itself support the required inspection routine. Where the same bay also serves a melt or casting area, protection requirements carry over from that process and are confirmed with the layout.

What to confirm before ordering

• Product mix: slab, plate and billet weights and dimensions
• Duty class based on plant cycle pattern
• Hook height over roller tables and stacking areas
• Crane maintenance access and walkway requirements
• Any adjacent melt or casting duty affecting protection scope
