The anode carbon block stacking crane is a specialized transfer equipment for carbon block warehouses in carbon plants. It mainly consists of a bridge, crane travel mechanism, hoisting mechanism, guiding device, clamping device, control system, and electric hoist. It is used for gripping and transporting green and baked carbon blocks in the anode carbon block warehouse, as well as other occasional lifting tasks. Its integrated clamp can grip 19 or 21 longitudinally arranged anode carbon blocks at a time for往返 stacking or truck loading. It can also remove defective blocks and insert qualified blocks, and can stack up to 9 layers high.
The crane utilizes dual drive for the main girder travel. The entire machine is controlled by frequency conversion plus PLC. All crane movements are operated from the operator’s cab, which is equipped with an adjustable heating and air conditioning system.



Weihua’s anode carbon block stacking crane is an efficient solution integrating ingenious mechanical design, precision manufacturing processes, and intelligent control for a specific industrial scenario. The main components and functions of the anode carbon block stacking crane are as follows:
| Component | Core Function and Description |
|---|---|
| Bridge (Main Girder) | The load-bearing and traveling主体 of the equipment, typically a double-girder structure, responsible for the longitudinal movement of the entire crane along the workshop rails. |
| Clamping Device | The core component performing the gripping function. Weihua’s product features a purely mechanical gravity-type clamping design that requires no external power source, utilizing a clever linkage structure and the clamp’s own weight to achieve reliable gripping. |
| Hoisting Mechanism | Typically composed of the main hoist unit, responsible for controlling the lifting and lowering movement of the clamping device. |
| Guiding Device | Ensures the clamp is stable, sway-free, and precisely aligned during lifting, lowering, and traveling, making it crucial for ensuring stacking accuracy. |
| Electric Hoist | Installed on one side of the bridge, used for lifting single anode carbon blocks or performing occasional handling tasks as auxiliary operations. |
| Electrical & Control System | The brain of the equipment. This Weihua crane features functions such as automatic detection, positioning, judging carbon block stack height and missing blocks, and integrates onboard monitoring. |
The anode carbon block stacking crane is widely used in electrolytic aluminum and carbon product enterprises. Main scenarios are as follows:
