Crane Solutions Across the Mining Operation

01 · MINE MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP

Rebuild bays for trucks, excavators and shovels

The workshop crane is sized by the heaviest component you’ll ever lift — engine, transmission,tray or bucket — not by the average day. Double girder EOT cranes with auxiliary hoists cover the rebuild bay; jib cranes and hoists serve the component benches.

Double girder EOT, 5–80 t standard (custom above)
Main + auxiliary hoist for component turning
Micro-speed, anti-sway and radio control

02 · PROCESSING PLANT

Mill halls, crusher stations and pump rooms

Mill-hall cranes live for shutdown week: liner changes and motor swaps under a roof that was designed around the crane. Hook approaches, lifting height and crawl speeds are set from your mill layout drawings.

Overhead cranes for SAG / ball mill halls and crusher stations
Jib cranes and electric hoists for pump and motor bays
Dust-protected electricals and enclosed power supply

03 · SMELTING & REFINING

Metallurgical duty for nickel, ferroalloy and copper

Where ore becomes metal, the crane becomes metallurgical equipment: ladle, charging, slag and scrap handling at A6–A8 duty, with heat-shielded trolleys, insulated components and dual-brake hoisting on hot-metal lifts.

Ladle, charging, grab and magnet cranes
Heat shielding and insulated rope drums
Redundant braking for hot-metal safety

04 · STOCKYARDS & LOGISTICS

Laydown yards, warehouses and container handling

Outside the plant, gantry and semi-gantry cranes work the laydown yard and warehouse; grab cranes move bulk; rubber tyred gantries handle containers and heavy components where there are no rails at all.

Gantry & semi-gantry cranes for open yards
Grab cranes for ore, coal and bulk materials
RTG and mobile gantry cranes — no runway needed

What Changes When a Crane Is Specified for Mining

Dust & Environment Protection

Sealed gear units and protected electrical panels
Hoist protection to IP65; enclosed conductor systems in dusty bays
Coating systems specified from site humidity and abrasion
Tropical packages for high-humidity operations

Controls & Power

VFD travel and hoisting — soft starts, less load swing
Radio remote control as standard practice
Micro-speed and anti-sway options for precision lifts
Voltage and frequency built to your site supply

Duty Matched to the Work

Duty classes from M3 workshop service to M8 grab duty
Capacity sized from your heaviest actual component
Main + auxiliary hoist configurations for turning loads
Span, lifting height and hook approach set from your drawings

Safety & Compliance

Overload limiters and limit switches as standard
Dual-brake hoisting on hot-metal and critical lifts
CE and ISO 9001 documentation with every shipment
No-load and powered function tests before packing; witnessed load test on request

FAQ: Mining Crane Solutions

How do I size a crane for a mine maintenance workshop?

Start from the heaviest single component you will ever put on the hook — typically the engine,transmission or truck tray — then add the lifting beam and rigging. Send us that number with your bay length, width and clear height, and we’ll return a sized configuration with drawings, free.

Can your cranes handle smelter duty?

Yes — metallurgical configurations for ladle, charging, slag and scrap handling at A6–A8 duty,with heat-shielded trolleys, insulated rope drums and redundant braking on hot-metal lifts.Tell us the metal, the temperature and the cycle and we’ll spec accordingly.

What dust protection do you provide?

Sealed drives, protected panels, hoists to IP65, enclosed conductor systems and coating systems
matched to your site’s dust and humidity. Describe the environment in your inquiry — protection
class is specified per order, not bolted on later.

How do you support remote mine sites?

Three ways: a critical-spares list is quoted with the crane so shutdowns aren’t waiting on sea freight; installation runs with free live video guidance or a dispatched engineer; and our engineers respond remotely first — most electrical and control issues are diagnosed from video before anyone books a flight.

What are typical lead times for mining cranes?

Standard single girder cranes run about 4–6 weeks in production and double girder cranes about 8–10 weeks; metallurgical and custom heavy cranes are quoted per scope. Sea freight and installation planning come with the quotation, and every shipment leaves with
photographed export packaging.
