Steel Mill - Heavy-Duty Double Girder Cranes
Steel & Metals - Rayong Province, Thailand
Challenge
A steel mill needed to replace aging overhead cranes in the melting and rolling areas. The new cranes had to withstand extreme heat, handle heavy loads, and operate continuously at M7-M8 duty classification.
Solution
D2 Cranes supplied double girder cranes with heat-resistant components, air-conditioned operator cabins, and intelligent electrical control panels for fault diagnostics and operational monitoring.
Scope of Work
- 2 double girder cranes (80 and 120 ton capacity)
- Heat-resistant wire ropes and components
- Air-conditioned operator cabins
- Intelligent electrical control panels with PLC/HMI
- Emergency braking system
- Complete installation and commissioning
Result
Both cranes have operated continuously for over 18 months with zero unplanned downtime. The intelligent control system reduced operational errors and improved maintenance scheduling through predictive diagnostics.
