PRODUCTS & CASES

QDY Type Metallurgy Overhead Crane is a heavy-duty bridge crane specifically designed for steel plants, foundries, and metallurgical workshops. It is engineered to safely handle molten metal, hot steel billets, ladles, and other high-temperature materials under continuous heavy-duty operating conditions, delivering reliable lifting performance throughout the smelting and casting process.

Multiple structural configurations are available to suit different production requirements, including double-girder double-rail, four-girder four-rail, and four-girder six-rail designs. Double-girder and four-girder models are widely used for medium and large-capacity lifting, while the four-girder six-rail configuration is ideal for ultra-heavy ladle handling applications. The electric hoisting trolley is equipped with multiple braking systems to ensure smooth lifting performance, precise load control, and enhanced operational safety.

To withstand harsh metallurgical environments, the crane adopts heat-resistant structural materials and thermal insulation protection, providing excellent resistance to radiant heat and extending equipment service life. Optional lifting devices such as rotating spreaders, fixed ladle hooks, and real-time load monitoring systems are available to meet various steelmaking and casting applications.

Weihua also offers intelligent metallurgical lifting solutions by integrating AI-based crane management systems with production lines and raw material storage areas. Through real-time data communication and centralized operation management, the system improves material flow efficiency, optimizes production scheduling, and supports smarter, safer, and more efficient steel manufacturing.

QDY Type Metallurgy Overhead Cranes are essential lifting equipment for steelmaking, continuous casting, and metallurgical production lines. They are widely used in steel mills, smelting workshops, and foundries to safely transport molten steel ladles between refining furnaces, converters, and continuous casting machines while ensuring stable and efficient material flow throughout the production process.

Designed for high-temperature and heavy-duty applications, these metallurgical overhead cranes are also ideal for handling molten iron, liquid metal, casting ladles, and other heated workpieces in casting plants. Their reliable performance, precise load control, and exceptional durability make them indispensable lifting solutions for modern metallurgical and foundry operations.

• Comprehensive Safety Protection
                 Equipped with overload protection, anti-collision devices, travel limit switches, and multiple safety monitoring systems, the crane ensures secure operation under demanding metallurgical conditions. Its high-strength bridge structure provides excellent rigidity and stable performance throughout continuous lifting operations.

• Precise Motion Control
                 Advanced variable frequency drive (VFD) technology and multi-axis control systems enable smooth lifting, trolley travel, and crane travel with accurate load positioning. Adjustable operating speeds improve handling precision while meeting various production requirements.
