Slab clamp crane (Model YB) is a special equipment for handling slabs, especially for high-temperature slabs. It is mainly used for carrying high-temperature slabs in a continuous casting billet to steel billet storage, for handling room temperature slab at a heating furnace or product storage for stacking, loading and unloading operations.

 This slab crane is able to lift slab or billet with the thickness more than 150mm, and slab temperature can be above 650 ℃.

Product Introduction: Slab Clamp Crane (YB Series)

The Clamps Crane YB is a specialized overhead crane designed for handling slabs, especially high-temperature slabs (up to 650°C or higher). With hundreds of units manufactured, our slab clamp cranes are widely used in steel plants, foundries, and heavy industries for efficient and safe slab transportation.

Our product line includes:

• Rigid Slab Clamp Cranes – High precision, minimal sway, ideal for stable positioning.

• Flexible Slab Clamp Cranes – Lightweight with advanced rope reeving technology for reduced swing.

• Rotating Slab Clamp Cranes – Enhanced maneuverability for precise slab placement.

The rated lifting capacity covers slab weight, clamp weight, and guide tube weight, ensuring reliable performance. Notably, our 64/25+25t powered slab clamp crane was among China’s first of its kind, while the 25-112t series electric平移式 (translational) slab clamp crane represents advanced industry standards.

Key Advantages

1. Flexible Slab Clamp Crane

• Lightweight design with high-precision rope reeving to minimize sway.

• Wire rope connection between hoist and clamp for smooth operation.

2. Rigid Slab Clamp Crane

• Easy alignment, high efficiency, and superior safety.

• Guided by single/multi-layer guide tubes to prevent clamp swinging.

3. Gravity Slab Clamp Crane

• Simple structure, compatible with standard bridge cranes.

• Uses auto-locking clamps for secure slab handling.

4. Customizable Designs

• Multiple clamp types: Auto-clamp, (electric hoist) clamp, (electric) clamp, (trapezoidal) clamp, (hydraulic) clamp.

5. Mobile Operator Cabin

• Self-propelled or trolley-mounted cab for optimal visibility in large-span operations.
