Tisco

Tisco strengthened its scrap handling operation in Shanxi, China, with the installation of a second 1000 Series E-Crane as part of the development of a state-of-the-art steel mill scrap yard. The two rail-mounted equilibrium cranes support around-the-clock scrap handling for the Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), unloading incoming material and continuously loading scrap baskets for steel production.

Applications:

Scrap recycling

Attachment:

4 yd³ / 3 m³ Orange Peel Grab, 4 yd³ / 3 m³ Rectangular Scrap Grab

Duty Cycle Capacity:

-

Lift Capacity

15 UStons / 13,6 Mtons

Location:

Shanxi, China

Crane lower:

High Portal on Rail Lower

Power source:

250-hp / 200 kW Electric Motor

Reach:

104 ft / 31,7 m

Model:

1000 Series / 7317 B GA-E

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.”

Lieven Bauwens – President & Director, E-Crane 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.

The solution includes:

  • A second 1000 Series E-Crane, added after the first machine had already accumulated more than 25,000 operating hours.

  • A 1000 Series / 7317 B GA-E with 104 ft / 31.7 m reach, supporting both incoming scrap handling and scrap basket loading.

  • Two application-specific attachments: a 4 yd³ / 3 m³ Orange Peel Grab and a 4 yd³ / 3 m³ Rectangular Scrap Grab.

  • A High Portal on Rail Lower powered by a 250-hp / 200 kW Electric Motor, providing an efficient solution for unloading trucks and railcars and loading scrap baskets.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

With the first E-Crane exceeding 25,000 operating hours, the second machine provides the additional capacity needed for Tisco’s around-the-clock scrap basket loading operation as the EAFs run at full production. Together, the E-Cranes support improved scrap yard logistics while helping reduce operating costs.
