The Material Box Crane is a specialized electric overhead crane manufactured by Henan Mine, designed specifically for handling material boxes in converter steelmaking plants and foundry melt shops . It is equipped with a dedicated material box hanger that allows the crane to securely hook, transport, and tilt heavy material boxes for feeding raw materials such as scrap steel, pig iron, and alloys into basic oxygen furnaces or electric arc furnaces .

The crane features a robust box girder structure with double girders that provide high resistance to torsion and deflection, making it suitable for demanding high-temperature work environments with heavy loads . Operating under heavy-duty classification A6 with lifting capacities up to 20-32 tons or more, the crane incorporates a dual-brake system, overload protection, and travel limit switches for safe and reliable service in harsh steel mill conditions .

The material box crane is a special bridge-type crane for the metallurgical industry, mainly used for material transfer operations during the smelting process. It has the functions of hanging, transporting and tilting material boxes. The working level is A6-A7, suitable for high-temperature and high-load smelting conditions.

A metallurgy-specific overhead crane designed for material transfer operations in smelting processes. It features the functions of lifting, transporting and tilting charging boxes. With a duty class of A6-A7, it is suitable for high-temperature and high-load smelting conditions.

Core Applications – Material Box Crane
1.Converter Shop Scrap Feeding – Hooks and tilts heavy scrap steel material boxes to charge raw materials into basic oxygen furnaces during the steelmaking process .
2.Foundry Melt Shop Alloy Feeding – Transports and dumps pig iron, alloy materials, and scrap into electric arc furnaces or induction furnaces for precise melt composition control .
3.Horizontal Material Box Transfer – Lifts and moves loaded material boxes from storage areas or rail cars to furnace charging positions across the melt shop floor.
4.Slag Box Handling – Transports and empties heavy slag pots or boxes after furnace tapping, performing waste slag removal operations .
5.Material Box Dumping & Empty Return – Rotates material boxes to completely empty contents into furnaces, then returns empty boxes to charging area or box cleaning station.
6.High-Temperature Mill Environment Operation – Performs continuous material box handling cycles in high-dust, high-radiant-heat steel mill conditions with heat-resistant components and durable box girder construction .
