E-Cranes for Refinery

E-Crane’s customizable, modular design makes it ideally suited for hazardous refinery applications.  It’s flexibility allows it to be installed in safe zones above our outside of coke pit walls, while maintaining the reach and lifting capacity needed to handle material more efficiently than a traditional overhead bridge crane.  E-Cranes can also be equipped with features designed specifically for hazardous area classifications commonly found in refinery environments, providing a safe, reliable, and productive material handling solution.

Typical Challenges in Refinery Applications

  • Operating material handling equipment in hazardous classified areas

  • Minimizing personnel and equipment exposure to hazardous coke pit environments

  • Reaching and efficiently handling material in difficult to access coke pits

  • Limitations and maintenance requirements of traditional overhead bridge cranes

  • Maintaining reliable material handling in mission-critical refinery operations

How E-Crane Solves Them

Designed for Hazardous Areas:
E-Cranes can be equipped with specialty “refinery” application components, allowing them to work in Class 1, Division 2 or similar Hazard Class areas.

Custom Placement:
The custom E-Crane lower can be designed to position the E-Crane in safe zones above or outside of the coke pit or Hazard Class areas, reducing exposure.

Exceptional Coverage:
Long outreach and high lift capacities allow the E-Crane great coverage from a single position.

Efficient Bridge Crane Alternative:
The E-Crane provides an efficient, less costly alternative to the standard bridge crane and allows for precise grab placement.

Reliable Performance and High Up-Time:
The E-Crane’s robust design, based on fatigue life, provided the reliability required for demanding refinery applications where long, unplanned downtimes can disrupt operations.
