The Challenge:
Building a High-Performance Scrap Yard for Continuous EAF Production
Tisco needed to develop a modern scrap yard capable of supporting one of China’s largest fully integrated iron and steel complexes. With the Electric Arc Furnaces operating at full production, reliable and continuous scrap basket loading was essential to maintaining the steelmaking process. The operation also required efficient unloading of incoming trucks and railcars while improving overall scrap logistics and reducing operating costs. Building on the successful performance of the first E-Crane, Tisco required additional material handling capacity to support around-the-clock operations.
“We are very excited about this opportunity to work closely together with Tisco management in the development of China’s first state-of-the-art steel mill scrap yard. E-Crane® believes in the strength of this partnership with Tisco, one of China’s largest fully integrated iron- and steel complexes. We are confident that this project will help us solidify our position as a clear leader in providing scrap handling solutions for steel mills worldwide.”

The Solution:
Expanding a Proven Scrap Handling System
E-Crane provided Tisco with a proven scrap yard layout and material handling concept designed to improve logistics and reduce operating costs. Following the successful performance of the first machine, a second E-Crane was installed to expand handling capacity and support continuous scrap basket loading.
