Richards Bay-based lifting equipment company North Coast Cranes & Lifting, which is Condra Cranes’ northern KwaZulu-Natal agent, has secured orders for Condra cranes to be installed in a chemical element refinery furnace and on a mining dredge.

For the chemical element refinery, the company will deliver a 10 t, 6.5-m Condra furnace crane.

This will be a double-girder electric overhead underslung machine supporting an underslung crab and foot-mounted hoist moving between two girders arranged as an extendable boom to allow the retrieval of casting pots from an adjacent bay, Condra Cranes says.

“Lift height will be 15.2 m, with lift speeds of up to 8 m/min delivered by a variable-speed drive. Further, drives of the same type will achieve speeds of up to 16 m/min on the cross travel, and 30.7 m/min on the long travel. Travel on the telescopic boom will be 4.3 m a minute.”

The second order, taken in November and scheduled for delivery at the end of this monthj, is for a maintenance and repair machine to be installed on a mining dredge.

The 10 t, 13.5 m portal crane, with a lift height of 12 m, has a straightforward design with cantilevers to allow equipment to be lifted and lowered from adjacent vessels.
