General purpose overhead crane
Chain Bucket Unloading Overhead Crane
Product Overview
The Chain Bucket Unloading Overhead Crane is a highly specialized piece of equipment designed for the rapid and efficient unloading of bulk materials from trucks. Featuring a unique vertical chain bucket conveyor system, this crane is engineered to handle large volumes of particulate materials such as coal, gypsum, shale, and iron ore. With an impressive unloading capacity of up to 500 tons per hour, it can significantly accelerate material receiving processes in industrial plants, power stations, and mining operations, making it a powerful solution for high-volume logistics.
Product Advantages
- High Unloading Efficiency: Capable of unloading up to 500 tons per hour, which is equivalent to processing approximately five 60-ton trucks in an hour.
- Versatile Material Handling: Designed to handle a variety of bulk materials with different particle sizes, including coal, gypsum, shale, and iron ore.
- Multi-Line Operation: The mobile tipping bucket device and double-girder structure allow the crane to operate across multiple transportation lines, enhancing operational flexibility.
- Enhanced Productivity: Features a T-shaped bucket that can unload in both forward and reverse directions, significantly improving the efficiency of the unloading cycle.
- Robust Safety Features: Equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety devices, including an overload limiter, height and travel limiters, buffers, and safety shields.
Application Scenarios
- Power Plants: Unloading coal shipments from trucks to feed the plant’s stockyard or conveyor systems.
- Cement and Construction Material Plants: Handling the unloading of raw materials like gypsum and shale from transport vehicles.
- Mining and Mineral Processing: Efficiently unloading iron ore and other mined materials at processing facilities.
- Bulk Logistics Hubs: Managing the rapid transfer of particulate bulk materials from trucks to storage or further transport.

- Multi-Lane Flexibility: A mobile tipping bucket allows the crane to service multiple truck lanes without repositioning the entire structure.
- Comprehensive Safety: Fully equipped with multiple limiters, buffers, and shields to ensure excellent safety performance during operation.
FAQ
1. What is the main advantage of the chain bucket system over a standard grab crane?
The continuous motion of the chain bucket system provides a much higher and more consistent unloading rate (up to 500 t/h) compared to the cyclical operation of a grab crane, making it ideal for high-volume applications.
2. What types of materials can this crane handle?
It is designed for particulate bulk materials like coal, gypsum, shale, and iron ore. Specific particle size limitations apply for optimal performance (e.g., coal up to 300mm).
3. How does the crane manage dust during unloading?
It features a sealed telescopic slip tube on the belt conveyor’s blanking device, which effectively contains material and reduces the amount of dust released into the environment.
4. Can this crane operate on more than one unloading bay?
Yes, its double-girder structure is equipped with a mobile tipping bucket device, allowing it to move and work across multiple transportation lines or truck bays.
5. What safety features are included?
The crane is outfitted with a full range of safety devices, including an overload limiter, lifting height and travel stroke limiters, trolley buffers, and safety shields to ensure safe and reliable operation.
