From gravel to sand to wood chips, loose and dry materials of all types must be carefully managed by proper machines specially engineered for bulk material handling. Liftlink Technologies offers a full range of bulk handling crane, hoist, and lift solutions for a good range of industries, including waste management, smelting, and food and beverage.
Bulk bucket cranes and grapple cranes are two of the foremost popular models for bulk handling. Both types are often fully customized to satisfy specific facility needs.
Whether being wiped out ports, paper mills, or utility plants, effectively managing bulk dry materials demands high-performance solutions. New engineering and technology are rapidly simplifying the process: In ports, large quantities of raw materials are managed with continuous ship unloaders in situ of gantry cranes, while advanced bulk handling systems can now be bespoke to suit specific manufacturing facilities.
These new systems leave fully integrated bulk transport, storage, internal control, and discharge within a processing environment; bucket and grapple cranes provide critical, high-capacity lifting support.
The heavy loads handled in steel mills, machine shops, and other large-scale manufacturing require tough, reliable material handling solutions. Heavy bucket and grapple cranes are particularly useful in managing these demanding loads.
Bucket cranes, or heavy dumping buckets, can safely handle capacities of up to many thousand pounds. Constructed of hot-rolled steel, the MIG-welded bucket body provides strength and sturdiness for the lifting process. Critical reinforcement is additionally added in wear zones, allowing the bucket to handle even the roughest cargo.
These buckets are designed with a simple dumping release, with the load of the loaded material pushing the forward roll of the crane’s bucket to dump the load. This weight-distribution-based design means the empty bucket automatically rolls back to its upright position and locks into place after emptying, ready for subsequent fill. Foundries, manufacturing plants, steel mills, and wastewater treatment plants all believe bucket cranes.
Grapples are attached to the hook of a crane for max grip or hold on a load. Using two or more levers to grab and secure a load, grapples are compatible for handling a good range of cumbersome materials, like rocks, rubbish , and waste. Grapples are particularly useful in paper mills, logging, and forestry, also as recycling, aggregate management, and shipping applications.
