50+50t Slab Clamp Crane for High-Temperature Material Handling
Heavy slab-handling crane with specialized clamp system for high-temperature production material.
High-temperature slab handling combines heavy loads, strong radiant heat and demanding production cycles. The crane must grip slabs securely, move smoothly and position accurately while limiting maintenance work in a harsh environment.
Henan Mine Crane supplied a 50+50t slab clamp crane for Shandong Iron & Steel Group's Rizhao production base. The crane uses an electrically adjustable positioning slab clamp together with monitoring, sensing, digital speed-control and automation technologies.
Project Background
The source states that slab temperatures can exceed 650°C. The crane therefore uses extensive high-strength materials to improve service life under thermal radiation.
Digital speed control and guidance devices improve smooth travel and accurate positioning. PLC control, weighing, fault display and positioning devices provide a technical foundation for future automation upgrades.
Customer Challenges
- Handling slabs at temperatures above 650°C with strong radiant heat.
- Maintaining secure clamping across slab dimensions and handling positions.
- Reducing shock and swing during higher-speed production cycles.
- Collecting weight, position and fault data for process control.
- Reducing maintenance workload in a high-temperature industrial environment.
- Keeping the crane ready for future automation upgrades.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The crane uses an electrically adjustable slab clamp so the lifting device can be positioned for the target slab. High-strength materials help the structure and key equipment cope with the severe thermal environment.
Digital speed control and guidance improve movement stability and placement accuracy. PLC control, weighing, fault display and positioning devices provide monitoring and data functions.
The source also highlights multi-directional maintenance-free design measures intended to reduce maintenance workload.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hot can the slabs be in the referenced project?
The source states that high-temperature slabs can reach more than 650°C.
Why use an electrically adjustable slab clamp?
It allows the attachment to adapt to the handling position and slab dimensions without relying only on manual adjustment.
Can a slab clamp crane be upgraded for automation?
Yes. PLC, weighing, positioning, fault display and sensing functions can provide a foundation for a later automation scope.
