E-Cranes for steel Mills

Scrap logistics within a steel mill present unique challenges that the E-Crane is designed to solve.  From receipt to furnace, the E-Crane efficiently handles inbound scrap delivered by rail, truck, or barge, manages sorting and stockpiling, and precisely fills charge baskets for delivery to the furnace.  Working closely with each customer, E-Crane engineers optimize yard layout, traffic flow, and material handling logistics to improve safety and efficiency, reduce operating costs, and maximize productivity throughout the mill.

Typical Challenges in Steel Mills

  • Managing complex scrap logistics from material receipt through furnace charging

  • Handling incoming material coming from a variety of transport options including rail, truck, or barge

  • Efficiently sorting, stockpiling, and handling different scrap types

  • Optimizing the logistics of the material handling activities in the mill

  • Maintaining reliable material handling with limited downtime in a mission-critical operation
