GH overhead crane at the Olaberria-Bergara plant (Gipuzkoa/Spain) specialising in the production of long steel products.

It is a bridge crane with a capacity of 110/16 tonnes and a 21 m span. Its main task is the handling of the transfer ladles in the refractory lining preparation phase, for which a ladle handling outrigger has also been supplied. 

The main hoist incorporates a 200 kW motor controlled by a frequency inverter, with a speed of 8 m/min. The auxiliary hoist has a 75 kW motor to achieve 16 m/min, also with variable frequency drive. The crane integrates an automaton and all the electrical equipment is installed in a heat-insulated enclosure with a cooling system. 

It replaces an existing 60/15-tonne overhead crane while maintaining the same hook ranges and geometry of the replaced equipment.
