Steel Coil Storage Center - C-Hook Coil Handling Crane
Steel & Metals - Samut Prakan Province, Thailand
Challenge
A steel coil storage and distribution center needed cranes to handle coils up to 25 tons using C-hooks. The cranes had to operate at high frequency throughout the day while preventing coil damage during handling.
Solution
D2 Cranes supplied double girder cranes with rotating C-hooks for side-grip coil handling. Anti-sway control and real-time load weighing systems were installed for precise storage and dispatch operations.
Scope of Work
- 4 double girder cranes (25 ton capacity)
- Rotating C-hooks with automatic locking
- Anti-sway control system
- Real-time load weighing system
- Radio remote with data display
- Specialized operator training
Result
Coil storage and dispatch throughput increased by 50%. The rotating C-hook system reduced coil handling damage to less than 0.1%.
