In Bangladesh's rapidly expanding steel industry, efficient material handling is critical for productivity. Yuantaicrane collaborated with a Chittagong-based steel coil manufacturer to design a double girder overhead crane tailored for heavy-duty steel coil handling. Our solution addressed their need for high-capacity lifting equipment, ensuring safe operations in a high-temperature environment.

Customer Company Profile

It's a Bangladesh Coil plant. It was established in 2000, which first started in the manufacturing and distribution business of steel coil in world-wide market. The plant has set up a state-of the art Cold rolling Mill complex at Kumira 25KM from Chittagong. The Complex built on a 10 acre site, houses pickling line, 6 Hi CVC cold rolling Mill Slitting and rewinding line with an annual capacity of 250000MT. Main products are CRFH (Cold Rolled Full Hard), CRCA (Cold Rolled Closed Annealed), GPFH (Galvanized Plain Full Hard), GC (Galvanized Corrugated).

Crane Requirements

The Bangladesh coil plant needs a set of material handling equipment to lift the standard sized steel coils, which cannot be held by crane hook only and the special lifting slings are needed. Most of the steel coils are final products, packed with delicate packages which needs to be handled tenderly with no rudeness. What's more, the Bangladesh client wants the material handling equipment can perform almost 24 hours duty a day. Lastly and most importantly, the crane price must be cost-effective, durable quality with low price. Challenges included Bangladesh's humid climate, which demanded corrosion-resistant hoists, and limited floor space requiring a compact crane design.

Crane Solution

According to the client requirements and the factory conditions, Yuantai Crane designs 1 set of 10 ton double girder overhead crane for the Bangladesh steel plant. The material handling solution of Yuantai Crane has the following advantages:

• Yuantai Crane uses Schneider electricals which is more suitable and cost-effective. Higher performance and more stable control.
• Equipped with frequency converter which could adjust its speed in order to make the crane traveling more smoothly and steady. Anti-sway technology for precise steel coil positioning.
• Yuantai Crane fully meets client's requirements and improves their working efficiency.
• Less maintenance also saves much time and cost which satisfied client.
• Heat-resistant galvanized hooks to withstand Bangladesh's tropical climate.

Crane Features

There are three obvious features of the Bangladesh overhead crane, the work duty, crane speed and high cost performance.

1 Work duty

The crane will work 24 hours each and every day. The whole working time is very long, and one working cycle takes about 3 minutes, but with low working frequency. That’s to say, the breaking time between the working cycles is long. After calculation, A5 is enough and safe for crane operation condition. The drawings of the QD type Double Girder Overhead Crane 10 ton-15.89 m A5 is shown below:

2 Crane speed

In order to lift the steel coils with enough tenderness, DQCANES adopts Schneider frequency converter to adjust the crane and hoist speed which solves the problem perfectly.
