Unlike standard bridge cranes, process cranes are engineered for specific applications where precision, durability, and automation are critical.
Process cranes are custom-engineered to match the specific operational needs of each facility, often incorporating automation to streamline workflow and minimize manual labor. Factors such as load capacity, span, lifting speed, and environmental conditions guide the design process. These systems frequently include automated controls, variable frequency drives, condition monitoring, and redundant safety features to maximize uptime and ensure consistent performance. Common applications include steel production, automotive manufacturing, paper mills, and warehousing, where cranes are required to execute repetitive and precise lifting tasks. With specialized attachments and tailored programming, AFE Crane delivers high-duty cycle process cranes that enhance productivity in even the most demanding industrial environments.
