In March 2025, Weihua Group successfully delivered and installed five 320-ton ladle cranes for a large steel manufacturing enterprise in Hebei Province, including three 320/80/15t-25m ladle cranes and two 320/80/15t-31m ladle cranes.

Timely Response
After receiving the inquiry for this project, the Weihua team first visited the customer’s production workshop to conduct a detailed on-site survey and technical assessment. Considering the limited space, high operational efficiency requirements, and the need for safe long-term operation, the Weihua technical team ultimately recommended a four-girder, four-rail overhead crane for the customer. They also optimized the structure of the main gearbox to achieve interchangeability between trolley wheels, ensuring the safety and stability of the four-wheel drive system.
Product Functions and Applications
- Redundant control function: Even in the event of a single machine failure, it can quickly switch to the backup system to maintain continuous operation;
- Multiple safety warning mechanisms, such as smoke detection warning and safe area operation warning, provide dual protection for safe production;
- Lifetime monitoring system: By real-time monitoring of key parameters such as gearbox vibration and motor temperature, potential problems can be identified in advance, extending the service life of the equipment.
Customer Feedback
The customer highly praised the solution provided by Weihua. “Since the installation of these five ladle cranes, the efficiency of our production line has significantly improved,” said the production manager of the enterprise. “Especially during peak periods, we are very satisfied with the stability and reliability of the equipment. Additionally, the service from the Weihua team has left a deep impression on us; both the preliminary technical consultation and the subsequent maintenance support have been excellent.”
