Standard crane traverses are used to safely distribute forces when handling large or complex shaped loads. They allow multi-point suspension, reduce local stresses and increase load stability during lifting and precise settling.
They are typically used for the handling of sheet metal, coils, slabs, profiles, frames, structural units or bundles of material and for assembly operations or loading and unloading in restricted clearance areas.
We custom design and manufacture traverses to specific dimensions, weight, gripping method and crane hook, including environmental finishes. Of course, load protocols, material approvals and load marking in accordance with EN 13155 are a matter of course.
Special Technological traverses We propose For Facilities, Where common Hanging resources Not enough and manipulation Requires Precisely defined by function, Stability and Link At Specifically Technological Process. Construction traverses Always based on z type burden, by way of grip, Labour space i Requested movement during manipulation.
To This Categories include For example Magnetic traverses For manipulation s Ferromagnetic material, traverses for scrap troughs, Pivot traverses enabling Managed by Shooting burdens or Tilting traverses For Change its locations v during Labour Cycling. Every Solution we customise Specific Operational Conditions s Emphasis At Safety, Reliability and long-term Functionality v challenging Industrial environment.
Casting beams are special suspension beams designed for the safe gripping, balancing, and controlled casting of liquid metal in foundries and steelworks. They are engineered to withstand high thermal stresses and frequent working cycles, offering precise control over the tilt or rotation of the casting pan, which includes fine metal dosing.
They are custom-made according to the type of pan, suspension method, and handling required, with the possibility of integration into existing cranes and technologies.
The traverses have a robust welded construction made of high-strength steel, heat shields and refractory elements for resistance to radiant heat and thermal shock, clearly defined hanging points and ergonomic controls or mechanical or motor drives.
Mechanical clamp traversers are designed for handling heavy and bulky gates made of steel, aluminium or other metals. They allow the gate to be gripped from the side without the use of tie-downs, which significantly reduces handling time and limits personnel movement in the danger zone.
The traverse is equipped with two pairs of robust clamps that automatically clamp when lowered and then lifted, distributing the forces evenly over the load to reduce the risk of surface damage.
Typical applications include metallurgical and steel works, heavy engineering, and the loading or unloading of slabs from wagons and transport trolleys. The construction using high-strength materials is rated for very heavy loads and ensures a long service life, even in harsh environments.
The hydraulically driven traverse clamps are designed to handle hot and cold slabs and sheets of a wide range of sizes. The hydraulically operated jaws ensure a constant clamping force and enable precise, safe gripping and load removal, even under difficult operating conditions.
The traverses are suitable for operations with high handling intensity and a requirement for repeatability – they can be operated from the crane operator’s cab or by remote control. The robust design is engineered for metallurgical environments, complete with jaw position sensors, clamp control and emergency load release safety.
