Metallurgical (Foundry-Duty) Electric Wire Rope Hoists
Heavy-duty, high-speed wire rope hoists—from compact low-headroom trolleys to double-girder units. Share capacity, lift height and duty class for quick sizing.
CYCRANE / Foundry & steel workshop lifting
Metallurgical Electric
Wire Rope Hoist.
Define the heat exposure.
Match the structure, brakes and duty.
Plan a foundry-duty wire rope hoist around the actual lifting task, workshop heat and operating cycle. Review fixed suspension, electric trolley or low-headroom arrangements with the brake, thermal-protection and control requirements.

01 / Structure directions
Choose the lifting arrangement.
Define the working conditions.
Each structure starts the enquiry with the same process questions: actual load, heat-source distance, working cycle, braking arrangement and maintenance access.
FIXED LIFTING POINT
Fixed Suspension
Provide mounting dimensions, support details and the required hook path. Review the actual heat exposure and operating cycle for the fixed lifting task.
WORKSHOP TRAVEL
Electric Trolley
Coordinate the travel path, beam/runway, load and duty with the brake, control and heat-protection requirements.
HEIGHT-CONSTRAINED LAYOUT
Low-Headroom Trolley
Share the available headroom, beam dimensions and hook-height requirement. Confirm the selected arrangement and protective scope in the proposal.
02 / Configure & plan
Load, heat and working cycle.
One clear project enquiry.
Review the structure, duty, controls, brakes and thermal package together. Your budget and enquiry summary update as you configure.
Build Your Foundry-Duty Spec
Describe the actual lifting task and heat conditions. State molten-metal or ladle service explicitly so the proposed equipment scope can be assessed.
The timeline is your requested target. Availability and delivery are confirmed in the quotation.
03 / Reference budgets
A first budget direction.
A project-specific offer comes next.
Use these guide ranges for early comparison. Exact prices depend on capacity, lift, structure, operating cycle, brakes, heat protection and the actual workshop conditions.
Entry direction
$18,800–$27,500 USD
Basic Foundry-Duty Direction
Typical 5–8 t discussions; fixed or standard trolley, M6, dual-speed or VFD review and a basic heat-shield request.
Enhanced protection
$27,500–$39,800 USD
Enhanced Heat-Protection Direction
Typical 8–16 t discussions; trolley or low headroom, M6–M7, dual-brake request, enhanced thermal protection and VFD control.
Heavy hot-area
$39,800–$58,000+ USD
Heavy Duty High-Temperature Direction
Typical 16–20 t and above discussions; M7–M8, dual-brake request, heavy hot-area package and project-specific controls.
The guide bands and live configuration budget serve different starting points; they are not guaranteed prices or a universal equipment package. Share heat/process data, duty, brake requirements, speed request, power and drawings for a firm quotation.
04 / Technical focus
Heat, duty and braking.
One coordinated equipment scope.
These are configuration inputs for review. Confirm actual dimensions, speeds, rated performance, braking arrangement and thermal execution for the selected model and process.
| Capacity input | 5–50 t; source project guidance commonly discusses 5–20 t. Larger requirements need project-specific selection. |
|---|---|
| Lift input | 6–40 m. Confirm hook travel, reeving and available installation height. |
| Structure | Fixed Suspension / Electric Trolley / Low-Headroom Trolley |
| Requested duty | M6 / M7 / M8 — confirm the actual operating cycle and selected equipment rating. |
| Control mode | Dual-Speed / VFD / VFD + Remote; provide actual hoisting/travel speed requirements in the enquiry. |
| Brake request | Standard Brake / Dual Brakes. Confirm the arrangement for the declared lifting service. |
| Thermal package request | Basic Heat Shield / Enhanced Heat Protection / Heavy Hot-Area Package. Temperature limits are not defined by these labels. |
| Working environment | Steel Plant / Rolling Area; Casting / Foundry Shop; Furnace-Adjacent Maintenance |
| Power supply | 380V / 50Hz / 3Ph sample; enter the actual voltage, frequency and phase requirements. |
| Quantity | Positive whole-number count. Quantity factor is included in the budget; the result is not an order total. |
| Requested timeline | Standard schedule / Urgent replacement / Tender or drawing stage; subject to confirmation. |
State whether the task involves hot components, furnace maintenance, molten metal or a ladle. Brake, duty and heat-package selections are enquiry requests; suitability and temperature limits are confirmed for the actual equipment and service.

06 / Application review
Steel workshops and casting areas.
Define the actual handling task.
Review the work area together with heat-source distance, exposure duration, lifting frequency and maintenance access.
Steel plants and rolling workshops
Useful where repetitive duty and higher-temperature exposure make a standard hoist comparison less suitable.
Casting and foundry shops
Suitable for projects where thermal shielding, stronger braking logic and actual process rhythm need to be considered together.
Furnace-adjacent maintenance lifting
Also practical when workshop heat and installation limitation require a more cautious equipment direction.
Replacement or upgrade work
Useful when an older hot-area hoist needs a heavier-duty replacement with clearer braking and control direction.
07 / Before you specify
Questions for your
foundry-duty hoist enquiry.
The actual handling task, heat exposure and working cycle guide the proposed equipment scope.
Discuss your workshop requirements ↗What information should I send first?
Provide capacity, lift, actual load/process, heat-source distance, ambient and radiant heat, exposure duration and operating cycle. Add structure, actual speeds, power, beam/runway drawings and replacement information where relevant.
Does the builder confirm suitability for molten-metal or ladle lifting?
No. State this service explicitly in your enquiry so the actual equipment, brake arrangement, thermal protection and process requirements can be assessed together. The configuration tool records requests; it does not approve an operation.
Are dual brakes included with every selection?
The brake dropdown has Standard Brake and Dual Brakes; the sample selects Dual Brakes. Your chosen option is shown in the summary. Confirm the actual braking arrangement and scope for the declared service in the technical proposal.
What temperature can each thermal package withstand?
The package names do not specify a temperature rating. Supply measured or specified ambient/radiant heat, distance from the heat source and exposure duration so the proposed execution and limits can be confirmed.
Is the budget an order total?
No. The planning formula applies a quantity factor but does not multiply the equipment range by the requested count. Confirm the unit basis, supply scope, final quantity and total in the quotation.
Does Urgent replacement guarantee a delivery date?
No. It records your requested project timing. Availability, production scope and delivery are confirmed separately; include the date you need and the existing equipment details.
