What Is a Hot Metal Crane?

A Hot Metal Crane (also known as a molten metal handling crane or ladle crane) is a specialized overhead crane used to lift and transport molten iron or steel in ladles from furnaces to converters or casting zones. These cranes are designed with high-temperature resistance, redundant safety systems, and heavy-duty structures to ensure safe operation in extreme environments.

Common Applications of Hot Metal Cranes

Hot metal cranes are vital in:

Steel Mills: Moving molten metal from blast furnaces to converters
Foundries: Transferring hot iron to casting lines
Continuous Casting Plants: Lifting ladles to pouring platforms
Alloy Production: Handling high-temperature materials in controlled zones
Smelting Operations: Molten metal transfer to secondary processing

Advantages of Nybon Hot Metal Cranes

1. Designed for Extreme Conditions

High-temperature insulation, reinforced beams, and sealed electronics ensure continuous, safe operation near furnaces.

2. Dual Safety Systems

Redundant brakes, backup drives, and overload limiters reduce risk when handling high-value and high-temperature loads.

3. Precision Control

Smooth lifting and positioning through PLC+VFD systems reduce swing and increase process accuracy.

4. Long Service Life

We use Q355B structural steel, wear-resistant components, and intelligent monitoring to extend crane lifespan even in harsh environments.
