25 Ton Coil Handling Crane (#17878)

Project Description:
G.W. Becker, Inc. commissioned a new, 25 ton electric overhead traveling crane for a specialty steel producer in Western Pennsylvania. This new crane replaces an existing EOT crane used in the customer’s coil handling department.  This 3-motion, 480 VAC, severe service, high-speed coil handling crane is installed on an existing runway system of 65′ span and 50′ of lift. Fully loaded speeds for the crane are: bridge (350 fpm), trolley (150 fpm) and hoist (54 fpm). Operated from an enclosed, insulated, climate controlled cab with tempered soda lime glass on three sides of the cab and front floor, which is located at the end of the bridge, the operator sits in a mill duty operator’s chair with integrated master switches. A power rotating hook block is included. Designed for high ambient temperatures, this crane includes high temp motors, wiring and cooled electrical control panels. This turnkey project included application assistance, design, manufacturing and installation of the new EOT crane to meet current applicable CMAA, OSHA, ANSI/ASME and NEC specifications.
