Gantry on Rails

The average cycle time of the E-cranes is 60 seconds, and peaks of over 1000 wet metric tons per hour are reached.

The E-Crane is used for stockpiling the scrap to a height of over 25 meters, necessary to ensure there is enough scrap ready for the loading of Handymax ships.

Kinder Morgan needed a state-of-the-art material handler to unload incoming scrap from barges for the new SeverCorr Steel Mill.

Schelde-Natie replaced an existing grain elevator with an Equilibrium crane to offload vessels and a “bulk-flow system to discharge rail cars.

For Harsco Metals’ scrap management project at Arcelor’s new stainless steel mill, two 1000 Series E-Cranes have been working simultaneously at the Ugine & ALZ Carinox site since 2005.

The E-Crane not only offloads barges and feeds several hoppers, but the increased reach and stock-out capacity eliminates the need for additional hoppers and conveyor belts.
