GH and VIROEX finalize the installation of a casting crane of 140/40/10 TM

Last April, GH Cranes & Components and its exclusive distributor for Cuba, Viroex SL, finalized the installation of a casting EOT crane of 140/40/10 TM for the José Martí iron and steel plant in El Cotorro, in the outskirts of Havana.

The machine includes all the technological and safety features that are to be applied to the machine used for the handling of molten metal. Among the noteworthy elements we find the redundant kinematic or single-error chain in the main lifting mechanism, as per ruling EN13135 and double kinematic chains in the main crab and bridge, allowing the crane to be used even if some of its main kinematic elements are disabled.

This machine has a distinctive feature: the auxiliary 40/10 TM crab works on two independent girders below the main crab, enabling the bucket to discharge on both sides.

Managers and technicians from José Martí iron and steel works underlined GH Viroex’s competece in all the phases of the process, from the preliminary design to the installation of the EOT crane. They also outlined the work carried out by GH-Viroex’s assembling teams, who undertook the final phase professionally and efficiently.

The crane has become a first-class reference within the country and it’s one of the most advanced installations in the sector of technology and applied solutions.

GH incorpora de serie sistemas que facilitan un uso seguro y prolongan la vida de las máquinas

En GH pensamos que la seguridad no es una elección. Es una obligación.

Por eso nuestras máquinas disponen de un variador en la elevación para frenado habitual, y freno electromagnético sólo para frenado de parking y emergencia.

Una posición de seguridad adicional para el final de la carrera de elevación.

Y el limitador de carga integrado en la unidad Corebox.

Así el cliente de GH tiene máquinas con una vida más prolongada.

Y menor consumo de pastillas de freno.

Lógicamente nuestro cliente disfruta de la seguridad de GH durante más años y con un coste de explotación menor que la competencia.

En definitiva, GH incorpora de serie sistema de seguridad que, además de evitar problemas, alargan la vida y ahorran costes.

Compromiso con la seguridad.

GH builds more compact cranes so as to build lower halls

GH cranes make better use of the vertical space for three reasons:

We’ve reduced hook’s lost height.
We’ve optimised the girder’s size.
We’ve substituted the railway style rails with square bar rails.

Nowadays, we offer the standard double-girder hoist with the smallest headroom in the market.

The benefits for GH customers are evident:

They build lower halls and save in heating.

A building with GH cranes nees 1.4 metres less than one with cranes from our competitors. That’s 11.76 %. That’s it, we’ve reduced the volume 11.76%.

Now let’s quantify the money we’ll save up in materials in a 200 sq m building and a cost of 300 €/sq m.

Very easy. It’s 88,320 € less in building materials.

And savings of 23,520 € in heating.

To sum up, GH allows you to make better use of the vertical space both in single-girder and double-girder cranes, so you’ll need less height in your plant and you’ll save up in building materials and heating.
