Hydraulic Scrap Handling Solutions for Port & Metallurgical Plants

With over 20 years of implementing lifting systems for seaports and steel plants in Vietnam, VINALIFT recognizes that the primary challenge for enterprises is not merely “moving scrap,” but ensuring high-speed, safe, and continuous 24/7 operation. Understanding these requirements, VINALIFT provides specialized hydraulic scrap handling solutions designed to accelerate stevedoring cycles and maintain the highest standards of occupational safety.

Why Scrap Handling Cranes are Critical in Heavy Industry

Metal scrap differs significantly from general cargo:

• Non-uniform geometry: Difficult to secure and control.

• High density/mass: High risk of structural instability if handled incorrectly.

• Harsh environments: High dust concentrations, maritime salinity, and extreme thermal conditions.

Selecting incompatible equipment leads to direct negative impacts: bottlenecking the supply chain, inflating operational expenditures (OPEX), and posing severe risks of industrial accidents.

VINALIFT Equipment Ecosystem: Comprehensive Solutions for Smart Supply Chains

As a leader in steel structures and lifting equipment, VINALIFT offers a diverse range of crane systems for scrap handling:

Portal Cranes / Pedestal Cranes

Engineered specifically for port terminals and jetties:

• Long Outreach: Covers the entire vessel hold.

• 360° Slewing: Full rotational flexibility.

• Heavy-Duty Structure: High resistance to wind loads and corrosion.

• Applications: Export/Import scrap terminals and bulk cargo handling

Hydraulic Scrap Handling Cranes

Utilizing specialized scrap handlers allows metallurgical plants and ports to resolve critical issues:

• Increased Vessel Turnaround: Faster discharge at the quay reduces demurrage costs.

• Reduced Downtime: Minimizes unscheduled maintenance and optimizes Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) throughout the project lifecycle.

• Safety Assurance: Mitigates risks associated with falling debris.

• Environmental Resilience: Built to withstand abrasive dust and salt-mist environments.

Hydraulic Grabs – The “Heart” of the Handling System

VINALIFT integrates specialized Orange Peel Grabs for scrap metal.

• High Closing Force: Driven by high-pressure hydraulic cylinders.

• Wear-Resistant Material: Tines/leaves are fabricated from high-strength alloy steel (e.g., Hardox) to withstand severe impact and abrasion.

• Optimized Kinematics: Ensures maximum fill factor even with bulky, irregular scrap, increasing efficiency per cycle.
