Slab Cranes for Industrial Use
Slab cranes are part of the process crane series for the steel industry, and they share many qualities with other steel industry process cranes, such as ladle cranes.
A slab crane is a specially designed crane for material handling in the steel industry, specifically for carrying steel slabs. Our slab cranes are more adaptable to the demanding working environment in the steel processing workshop thanks to technological advancements and crane design innovations.
Functions of slab cranes
These slab cranes are used in rolling mills to carry materials between separate equipment. To meet the demands that come with working in a tough environment, we use innovative technology solutions.
Features of slab crane
1) Operation that is both dependable and efficient.
The safe and efficient operation of slab cranes is critical for continuous casting.
2) High-temperature resistance and sophisticated cooling technology
The slab crane can withstand the product's radiant heat. It's also equipped with the necessary technology to keep the equipment cool and safe.
3) Improved crane performance thanks to advanced technology.
To achieve the smooth standard, the Slab crane uses advanced automation technology to ensure accurate load positioning, improve crane safety, and increase Slab crane production.
We can provide you with a process crane for your steel industry thanks to its extensive experience in manufacturing hundreds of slab cranes. Our crane company's reputation has been based on the happiness of our customers, thanks to the high quality of our process cranes.A variety of process cranes are provided for various steel industry applications.
Slab Clamp, Billet clamp，Ingot clamp , Block clamp
The clamp is mainly composed of a lifting ear, an opening and closing mechanism, a top beam, and an inlay. Mainly used for steel processing and stacking slabs, has been widely used in domestic steel mills and ports.
Electric Lever Slab Clamp The clamp is mainly composed of a lifting ear, an opening and closing mechanism, a top beam, and an inlay. The opening and closing mechanism controls the opening and closing of the clamp leg, and locks the slab by the frictional force generated between the self-weight.
The opening and closing mechanism controls the opening and closing of the clamp leg, and locks the slab by the frictional force generated between the self-weight of the slab and the jaw teeth. The lower beam is lifted by the winding system to open the jaws and release the slab.

Applications: Steel industry workshops, material transfer, heavy load handling
The slab is characterized by high temperature resistance, reliable operation, large load, and easy maintenance. Mainly used for steel processing and stacking slabs, has been widely used in domestic steel mills and ports.The clamp can grip one or more high temperature slabs (1000 degrees) at a time. The clamp height limit varies with the width of the gripping slab.
Types of slab clamps
MOTORIZED SLAB TONGS
The motorized scissors-type slab tongs are designed to lift selectively one or multiple slabs.
Pre-positioning of the lifting legs is done by an electrically operated heavy-duty rope hoist.
Benefits: Reduces side clearance, minimizes aisle requirements, and shortens operation cycle time.
Applications: Steel mills, rolling mills, and high-efficiency slab handling
MECHANICAL SLAB TONGS
Fully mechanical, scissors-type slab tongs designed to lift single slabs without electricity.
Optional set-down stools (mechanical or motorized) allow transportation of multiple slabs.
Features: Simple operation, no electrical dependency, reliable and robust.
Applications: Steel mills, slab handling, and stacking operations
HYDRAULIC SLAB TONGS
Designed to handle single slabs or slab stacks in horizontal or flat position, ideal for low headroom installations.
Gripping force is exerted by hydraulic power pack and cylinders.
Features: Precise control, safe handling of heavy loads, adaptable to different slab sizes.
Applications: Steel mills, rolling mills, and workshops with low overhead clearance
