 Plastic fabrication, like metal work, involves heavy weights and high temperatures. A strong and agile overhead crane system is required for safety and precision. Overhead cranes are necessary to handle melted ingredients, raw materials, and finished goods with care and dexterity.

Handling high temperature and large-capacity loads in dangerous and unpredictable environments is a requirement of the Plastic Injection/Die Handling Industry. Each stage of the plastic injection molding process necessitates precision and control to ensure the safety of the crane operators. Overhead handling cranes in this industry are subjected to extreme stress, necessitating the expertise of Yuantai Crane to ensure that the proper equipment is used and properly inspected. Special consideration must be given to hoist reeving, which typically necessitates the use of a double reeved wire rope to provide true vertical lift. Side pulling is common when rotating loads. To ensure that wire ropes are pulled perpendicular to the drum grooving, the drum configuration and rope fleet angle must be carefully considered.

Single girder & double girder overhead crane

Single girder overhead crane for light mold or die handling with capacity of 1 ton, 5 ton, 10 ton, and 7.5 ton, 10 ton  and up to 20 ton. Based on your different lifting requirements and application conditions.
The single girder die handling cranes also can be designed as top running & underhung design. The former one has the end carriages running on the top of main girder while the latter has the the end carriage running under the main girder. The top running design can support large capacity than the underhung crane design. But one the other hand, the ceiling mounted underhung crane will save the cost for supporting columns.
