INTRODUCTION
What is this?
The four girder casting crane is a heavy-duty, high-temperature molten metal handling device designed for extra-large steelmaking workshops. It features a four-girder, six-rail structure, with main and auxiliary trolleys driving the main and auxiliary hooks independently, achieving safe, stable, and precise lifting and pouring of extra-large capacity molten steel and iron ladles. If you are managing a large steel plant or foundry requiring lifting of ladles over 125 tons, with extremely high demands for safety, stability, and operational efficiency, this product is designed for you.
Why choose a four girder casting crane over a standard double girder casting crane?
Compared to standard double girder casting cranes, the four girder casting crane offers four core advantages:
First, stronger load capacity – the four-girder, six-rail structure distributes loads more evenly, with lifting capacity from 125 tons to over 650 tons, meeting extra-large ladle handling requirements.
Second, higher structural rigidity – four main girders share the load, resulting in smaller beam deflection, smoother operation over long spans, and more precise ladle positioning.
Third, better trolley layout – main and auxiliary trolleys are separated; the main hook handles ladle lifting while the auxiliary hook operates independently for slag handling and auxiliary tasks, avoiding interference and improving efficiency.
Fourth, higher safety redundancy – dual-brake hoisting mechanism, overspeed switch, and load cell provide multiple protection layers, with high-temperature resistant design on key components to withstand extreme heat radiation.
Tackle the most demanding smelting tasks with a stronger structure.
What can we do for you?
We understand that every customer has different ladle capacities, different workshop spans, and different process requirements. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 125 tons to over 650 tons; span from 13 meters to over 35 meters; main/auxiliary hook ratios such as 260/80t, 350/100t, etc.; control options of cabin or remote radio; standard VVVF speed control. Whether your workshop is new construction or a renovation, we can match the most suitable span and lifting height.
Unsure? Don't know?
Not sure whether to choose a four girder or double girder structure? Not sure what main/auxiliary hook capacity ratio suits your ladle? No problem. Just tell us: your ladle capacity or molten steel weight, your workshop span, and your handling frequency (how many heats per day). Our engineers will provide you with an accurate quote and CAD drawings within 24 hours. Click the button below or contact us via WhatsApp/email to get your customized solution.
Tip: We offer free selection consulting. Even if you are unsure about specific parameters, feel free to describe your melting process and workshop dimensions, and we will calculate for you.
