10 Ton Charging Crane (#25276)

Project Description:

G.W. Becker, Inc. commissioned a new 10 ton charging crane for a ductile iron foundry in Pennsylvania. This 4-motion, severe service, magnet duty, top running, double girder bridge crane with twin 5-ton built-up wire rope hoists on single trolley (hoist hooks are parallel to runway with 6′-0″ hook centers) was designed for heavy scrap for melt shop operation. Designed and manufactured as a replacement of an existing runway system of 30′ span and 30′ of lift. Operated primarily from an enclosed cab, a second mode of operation included radio control via a “belly box” transmitter. This turnkey project included the new EOT crane with enclosed insulated cab, 200 amp runway electrification, and self-performing installation to meet all current applicable CMAA, OSHA, ANSI/ASME and NEC specifications.
