Slewing charging crane

Weihua slewing charging crane is a specialized piece of equipment designed for industries such as metallurgy and steelmaking. It primarily solves the industry challenge of large-angle, high-capacity tilting and charging of large charging buckets in workshops with limited space.
Specifications
  • Lifting capacity：Customizable
  • Span：Customizable
  • Working class：A7、A8
  • Lifting height：Customizable
Introduction

The slewing charging crane was developed to solve challenges in production workshops such as spatial limitations, large tilting angles of charging buckets, and high-capacity charging requirements. It features a 270-degree slewing capability, high maneuverability, a high safety factor, excellent stability, and low friction, making it widely applicable in the steel industry.

The core of the slewing charging crane lies in the coordination between the slewing trolley and the hoisting and tilting mechanism:

  • Grabbing and Tilting: The hoisting and tilting mechanism is typically equipped with main and auxiliary hooks. During operation, the dual hooks connect to the charging bucket through a linkage mechanism, similar to a “parallelogram”. By controlling the two hoists to operate in a coordinated manner (one lifting while the other lowers), the bucket can be smoothly lifted, moved, and precisely tilted for discharging.
  • Slewing and Positioning: The slewing trolley enables the spreader and charging bucket below to perform a 270-degree horizontal rotation. This allows the bucket to be flexibly aligned with the charging port, significantly overcoming the issue of insufficient operating space caused by plant columns, equipment, or ladle obstructions.

Advantages & Features

01
High Flexibility: Solves spatial dead zones with 270-degree rotation, allowing operation even when the bucket is close to walls or in tight spaces.
02
Safety & Stability: Designed for harsh metallurgical environments with high temperatures and dust, featuring enhanced protection levels for electrical components and heat insulation for structural parts, ensuring high reliability.
03
High Operational Capacity: Meets the demands of large-tonnage and large-angle (>60°) charging, enabling complete discharge of scrap material in a single operation.
04
Advanced Technology: Incorporates Weihua’s advanced technologies such as high-precision control and anti-sway systems.

Applications

Weihua slewing charging cranes are primarily used in the smelting and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

  1. Core Application Scenarios: Mainly used in steel plants within steelmaking workshops for adding materials such as scrap steel and alloys into converters, electric arc furnaces, or ladles.
  2. Extended Application Potential: The “slewing + tilting” operation mode is also suitable for other industrial scenarios requiring the handling of large volumes of bulk high-temperature materials, such as furnace charging processes in non-ferrous metal (e.g., copper, aluminum) smelting and large-scale foundries.
