Project Background
The client, a leading steel service center in Southeast Asia, required a dedicated crane system to handle heavy steel coils efficiently within their expanded production facility. Existing equipment struggled with Lifting and hoisting of 20Ton–32Ton coils, causing workflow bottlenecks. The project aimed to install a custom-built Coil Handling Crane,Sinoko crane has specially designed a Steel Coil Handling Crane for this company，It has achieved a faster material transmission speed, and the operation method does not cause any damage to the steel coil.
Sinoko Steel Coil Handling Crane Features
Capacity: 32 tons
Span: 31.5 meters (covering dual production lines)
Lifting Height: 16 meters (optimized for high-bay storage)
Lifting Mechanism: Electric winch trolley with anti-sway system
Power Supply: 380V/50Hz/3Ph (ISO-standard compatibility)
Control Mode: Radio remote + cabin operation (dual mode)
Integrated C-hook lifter: Patented coil-gripping system preventing surface scratches.
Variable Frequency Drive: Smooth acceleration/deceleration during coil transfer (±5mm positioning accuracy).
Collision Avoidance System: Laser sensors to detect obstacles in crane path.
Implementation Process
Sinoko Company spent a total of 7 weeks on this project. The installation process of the entire project is as follows:
Phase 1: Site Assessment & Customization (4 weeks)
Challenge: Existing plant columns restricted movement space.
Solution: Tailored 31.5m span to fit between structural columns; reinforced runway beams to handle dynamic loads.
Pre-assembly: Tested crane functions at manufacturer’s workshop before disassembly for shipment.
Phase 2: Installation & Commissioning (3 weeks)
| Stage | Activity | Risk Mitigation |
| Foundation | Anchor bolt installation + runway alignment | Laser-guided leveling to ±1.5mm tolerance |
Electrical | Busbar system integration | Surge protection for voltage fluctuations |
| Trial Run | Load testing (130% of capacity) | Strain gauges monitored structural deflection |
Project Outcomes
By using the Sinoko Steel Coil Handling Crane, the customer provided us with feedback stating that this steel mill has achieved remarkable results in the following aspects:
Efficiency: Cycle time reduced from 12 to 8 minutes per coil transfer.
Reliability: 99.2% uptime achieved over 6 months (vs. 86% previously).
Safety: Zero incidents related to coil drops/collision (QHSE audit compliant).
Cost Savings: Reduced coil damage annually.
Scalability: Enabled handling of 30% larger coils for future contracts.
Application Areas
Sinoko Steel Coil Handling Crane is not only applicable to the steel industry, but also to:
Port Terminals: Transferring coils between ships/yard/trucks.
Automotive Plants: Feeding stamping presses with precision.
Warehousing: Stacking coils up to 4 layers in high-bay racks.
