Gantry Ladle Hook with Spreader

Gantry Ladle Hook with spreader is a lifting equipment specially used in the metallurgical industry (such as steel mills and foundries), mainly used for lifting, tipping and pouring operations of high-temperature ladles. It combines the stability of the gantry (portal structure) with the flexibility of the special hook sling, and can safely and efficiently handle high-temperature molten metal.

Equipment composition and structural features
(1) Gantry (portal structure)
Main frame: welded from steel or box beams, with high strength and deformation resistance.
Legs and tracks: support the entire structure, which can be fixed or moved along the ground track by an electric trolley (mobile gantry crane).
Beam: install the lifting trolley and sling, and the span is designed according to the size of the ladle and the process requirements.

(2) Special ladle hook sling
Hook group: forged with high-temperature resistant alloy steel, usually with a double or four-hook symmetrical design to ensure the balance of the ladle.
Lifting beam: connects the hook to the lifting mechanism, with a swivel function to achieve ladle tipping (manual or electric drive).
Thermal insulation:
The hook and beam are covered with refractory materials or equipped with insulation boards.
The wire rope or chain is equipped with a high temperature resistant sheath (such as ceramic fiber).
