Ladle Crane – High-Temperature Cranes for Steel Plants by Nybon Machinery Group
In a steel plant, where heat, weight, and precision collide, a ladle crane is not just equipment — it’s mission-critical infrastructure. This type of crane is specifically designed for handling molten metal in extreme conditions, offering strength, safety, and reliability in environments where failure is not an option.
At Nybon Machinery Group, we specialize in manufacturing a range of cranes, including ladle cranes, gantry cranes, bridge cranes, jib cranes, and electric hoists. With a reputation for quality, durability, and factory-direct pricing, our cranes support steel production operations worldwide.
What Is a Ladle Crane?
A ladle crane is a heavy-duty overhead crane used in metallurgical plants to lift and transport molten steel or iron in ladles from furnaces to converters, or to pouring areas. These cranes operate in high-temperature zones, and require special structural, mechanical, and safety designs.
They are equipped with:
-
Thermal protection systems
-
Double girder structure with high stiffness
-
Four-rope or hook beam spreader mechanisms
-
Dual drive motors and redundant braking systems

Key Features of Nybon Ladle Cranes
1. Heat-Resistant Construction
All critical components are engineered to perform reliably near furnaces, including hoists, electrical systems, and brakes.
2. Safe Molten Metal Handling
Our cranes include ladle hooks, tilting mechanisms, and redundant controls to prevent accidents during metal pouring or transport.
3. Long Service Life
We use Q345B/Q355 steel, heat-treated welds, and anti-fatigue components for consistent long-term operation under load.
4. Integrated Automation (Optional)
Our PLC-controlled models offer automatic position memory, load monitoring, and real-time diagnostics for safer and smarter operation.
Applications of Ladle Cranes in Steelmaking
Nybon ladle cranes are tailored for:
