• Overhead cranes for Voestalpine

Introduction

Voestalpine, a prominent player in the automotive industry, was looking for a specialist in crane systems for the safe movement of heavy molds up to 50 tons. BKRS Crane Systems came into the picture as the ideal partner and has developed and installed three complex overhead cranes to meet these specific needs. This project illustrates the expertise and tailor-made solutions that BKRS offers in the crane industry.

Goals

The challenge for Voestalpine was to carefully and safely move heavy moulds, which are essential for the production of high-quality A-class parts for bodywork cladding. With more than 1,050 employees and an area of more than 165,000 m² in Bunschoten, Utrecht, it is crucial that the production processes run efficiently and safely. That is why Voestalpine was looking for complex overhead cranes that can not only lift the loads, but are also equipped with advanced technologies for optimal safety and ease of use.

Our Solution

BKRS has supplied three advanced complex overhead cranes that meet Voestalpine’s high requirements. These cranes are designed with several innovative features, including:

  • Anti-sway function: This function minimizes the movement of the load during lifting and moving, which increases safety.
  • Area scanners: These scanners ensure that the crane only moves within safe areas, preventing accidents.
  • Crane maintenance software: This software helps to monitor and maintain the cranes, which promotes operational efficiency.
  • RFID Technology: Allows for easy identification and tracking of molds, improving traceability and workflow.
