Product Overview

Henan Hengkun Crane Co., Ltd. designs and manufactures robust Foundry Overhead Cranes specifically engineered to meet the extreme demands of modern steel foundries and continuous casting processes. Safety, reliability, and durability are paramount in our crane solutions for handling molten iron and steel.

Core Applications: Precision Handling Where It Matters Most

Our Foundry Overhead Cranes are the workhorses of critical steel production zones:

• Charging Molten Iron: Safely transferring hot metal ladles from the charging bay to the BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace).

• Ladle Transfer in Secondary Metallurgy: Efficiently moving steel ladles to and from ladle furnaces (LF), vacuum degassers (VD), or other refining stations.

• Feeding the Caster: Precisely positioning full ladles onto the turret of the Continuous Casting Machine (CCM).

Hengkun Foundry Crane Configurations: Tailored for Your Layout and Workflow

We offer a range of structural configurations to optimize performance within your specific foundry layout and lifting requirements:
