Cranes
Special Material Handling System for Galvanizing
Product Overview
The Special Material Handling System for Galvanizing by Weiyuan is a purpose-built lifting solution engineered to excel in the complex processes and harsh working environments of the galvanizing industry. Responding to the need for high efficiency and intelligent automation, this system adopts a lightweight, modular, and parametric design. It features a specialized electric hoist for galvanizing with superior performance, advanced technology, and energy-saving operation. Controlled by an advanced variable frequency speed regulation system and driven by a three-in-one device, this crane system ensures safety, reliability, and precision for all material logistics within a galvanizing workshop.
Product Advantages
High-Efficiency Performance
Centered on the hot-dip galvanizing process, the system features fast lifting and running speeds. With a whole-machine working level of up to M7/A7, it is designed for high-frequency, demanding cycles to maximize throughput and efficiency.
Precision Automation
The application of automatic control technology enables highly accurate crane positioning. This ensures the stability of the galvanizing process, proper logistics transfer between stations, and consistent, repeatable results.
Full Customization for Any Layout
We offer a complete range of customizable configurations, including transferable tracks, cross tracks, lifting cranes, single-beam cranes, multi-fulcrum suspension systems, and gantry types. We can perfectly match the system to the unique logistics route of any galvanizing workshop.
Designed for Harsh Environments
Engineered specifically for the galvanizing industry, all components are selected for their durability and reliability in corrosive and high-temperature environments, ensuring a long service life and reduced maintenance.
Advanced Control and Safety
Equipped with a variable frequency and speed regulation control system, the crane offers smooth, precise movements. Intelligent functions like electric anti-sway, inching, and zero-speed hover enhance safety and handling accuracy.
Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection
The system’s lightweight design and efficient drive technology contribute to lower energy consumption. Its reliable and controlled operation also minimizes waste and process disruptions, promoting a greener workflow.
Application Scenarios
Hot-Dip Galvanizing Lines
This is the primary application, where the crane system handles the precise and timely movement of steel components through pre-treatment tanks, the zinc kettle, and post-treatment cooling and inspection stations.
Plating and Coating Facilities
Ideal for any industrial plating or surface treatment process that requires moving products through a series of chemical baths and treatment tanks in a harsh, corrosive environment.
Chemical Processing Plants
Suitable for facilities that handle materials in corrosive environments where precise, automated, and reliable lifting is critical for safety and process integrity.
Custom Steel Fabrication Shops
Can be adapted for steel fabricators with in-house galvanizing lines, providing a complete, end-to-end solution for material handling from fabrication to final coating.

FAQ
Q: Why is a specialized crane needed for galvanizing?
A: The galvanizing process involves harsh chemicals, high temperatures, and the need for precise timing and positioning as parts move through various tanks. A specialized crane is built with materials and control systems designed to withstand this environment and perform with the required accuracy and reliability.
Q: How is this system customized for a specific workshop?
A: Weiyuan can design the system in various forms, such as a single-beam crane, a gantry crane, or a multi-fulcrum suspension system with transferable or cross tracks. This flexibility allows us to create a material handling route that perfectly matches your facility’s layout and process flow.
Q: What makes this crane system “high efficiency”?
A: Its high efficiency comes from fast lifting and travel speeds combined with a high work-level rating (up to M7/A7), allowing it to perform frequent, rapid cycles. Automation and precise positioning also reduce wasted time and ensure a smooth, continuous workflow.
Q: How does the anti-sway function help in the galvanizing process?
A: Electric anti-sway control prevents the load from swinging during transport. This is critical when moving large or long items between tightly spaced tanks, as it prevents collisions, splashing of hazardous chemicals, and ensures accurate placement into the zinc kettle or treatment baths.
Q: Can this crane be integrated into a fully automated production line?
A: Yes. With its advanced automatic control technology and optional wireless expansion module, the crane can be fully integrated into an automated production line, receiving commands from a central control system for unmanned material handling.
