Coil, bar and plate handling cranes

• These heavy-duty cranes are used to perform material transport between different machines in the rolling mills.
• Sometimes they incorporate a rotating trolley in order to position the product correctly in relation to the conveyor.
• These cranes stand up to radiant heat from the product, in which case specific load handling devices are required.
• These are high production cranes with high speed requirements. Automated load control features assists the operator in maximizing throughput.
• Advanced crane control features executed with modern automation technology help guide the operator in precise placement and safe transport of the load along its path.
• Konecranes’ goal is zero unplanned downtime of these critical cranes, and we partner with our customers to develop maintenance-friendly features.

Product range

The coil, bar and plate handling cranes can be equipped with lifting magnets, garbs or tongs. Because of varying needs, these cranes are tailored.

Product design

The coil, bar and plate handling cranes are designed to be operated efficiently, uninterruptedly and safely in continuous use. The design conforms to the requirements of international standards.

Konecranes take care of safety issues without reducing productivity. Overload protection, the ‘emergency stop’ system bypassed from PLC, derailment supports, and end limit switches are automatically standard features of the equipment.

Advanced automation function options enable improving safety but also lead to better productivity. Such options are DynAPilot load sway control, AutOPilot End positioning, and AutOPilot protected areas systems.

All parts of the mechanical and electrical equipment are designed so that they are easily accessible from permanent service platforms for adjustment, lubrication, inspection, maintenance and repair. Emphasis is placed upon quick replacement of faulty or worn parts as opposed to repair.

Improved crane reliability and availability can be reached with extensive real-time measurement and diagnostics data. The most sophisticated version of the diagnostic tool provides clear reports for analyzing the use and productivity of the crane.
