Modernization of crane systems

Reliable and safe

In the course of their long service lives, the demands placed on crane systems and crane technology change. New operating procedures, stricter safety requirements as well as high-cost and high-maintenance components present operators with the question of how the value of a system can be maintained and its efficiency increased. Instead of a mere repair or a comprehensive general overhaul, it is often worth considering modernising the system. It is cost-effective because specific replacement of individual components or systems means that many existing elements can continue to be used and the entire installation does not have to be replaced. At the same time, modernisation makes it possible to maintain the productivity of a plant and enhance its safety over the long term with selected adaptations.

From consultation and planning to implementation of modernisation projects, our customers can rely on the know-how and pionieering technology of STAHL CraneSystems.

Short, shorter, ultra-short…

Due to the cantilevered and raised special design of the new crane runway, it protrudes 3 metres into the existing wide hall area. This area can now be served by both cranes, which are equipped with SH wire rope hoists.

Crossover

The two-part crane is equipped with 5 photo-electric barriers for non-contact signal transmission between the crane bridges. When the crane operator gives the command to lock, the control system brakes automatically on approach and locks the crane bridges.

Stacker crane for handling

The basis for the special stacking crane is a custom solution with an SH 60 wire rope hoist that was equipped for this application with a double-grooved rope drum. The concrete elements weighing up to 5.7 t are lifted from the production line on to transport vehicles using a telescopic lifting mast. The modernisation has increased the handling of pre-cast elements by up to 20%.

Compact crane

The existing crane runway and low ceiling of the hall left little space for the new crane. The compact SH wire rope hoists, each with an S.W.L. of 8 tons in tandem operation, run on a special trolley between the box girders.

Preparing the right mix

During charging, the portal crane drives through the hall of the raw material mixing plant to the storage bunkers at speeds of up to 63 m/min. Thanks to the compact dimensions of the trolley and wire rope hoist, the new crane system could be integrated into the existing hall and still provide the required lifting height.
