Assumptions: different types of cranes (overhead, semi-gantry and gantry) working in steelworks
and rolling mills.
Unique working conditions in steelworks and rolling mills enforce using the special type of girder
construction. Their electrical equipment needs to be protected from high temperatures (it can be
easily done by putting the electrical equipment inside the girder etc). Predominantly, cranes are
equipped in two lifting mechanisms (the main one and the ancillary one) and peculiar auxiliary
equipment (graspers and traverses). Crane controlling is provided by a control cab placed inside/on
the side of the gantry. Sometimes, the control cab can be installed to winch’s frame.
