The steel rolling mills in Pakistan have different capacity scales, but most of them follow a similar production process, including raw material heating, rolling, cutting and packaging. These links require bridge cranes to complete the handling and transfer of heavy materials. Therefore, the greater the production capacity of the steel rolling mill, the greater the demand for overhead cranes.

With the advancement of technology and the establishment of modern steel rolling mills, Pakistan’s steel rolling mills are gradually introducing more advanced rolling technology and equipment. These new technologies and equipment often require more efficient and precise material handling systems to support them. Therefore, improvements in technology are likely to increase the demand for overhead crane performance and functionality.

Market demand and future development trends
The development of Pakistan’s infrastructure construction, real estate and manufacturing industries will drive the growth of steel demand. This means that rolling mills need to expand production capacity or improve production efficiency to meet market demand. In this case, rolling mills are likely to increase their demand for overhead cranes to support the expansion of their production capabilities.

Pakistan’s steel rolling mills face fierce competition, which prompts companies to continuously improve production efficiency and reduce costs. As an efficient and reliable material handling equipment, bridge crane can help steel rolling mills improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance competitiveness. Therefore, steel rolling mills are likely to increase their demand for overhead cranes in a highly competitive market environment.

Application of bridge cranes in all aspects of steel rolling mills

Bridge cranes are widely used in steel rolling mills, covering almost every aspect of the entire production process. The following are the specific applications of bridge cranes in various aspects of steel rolling mills:

Raw material handling: Before steel rolling production begins, bridge cranes are used to move raw materials, such as steel billets, iron ore, etc., from warehouses or stacking areas to the production line. These raw materials are often large in size and heavy in weight, requiring efficient and stable operation of bridge cranes to complete.
Operation in front of the heating furnace: Before the billet enters the heating furnace, the overhead crane accurately places it in the designated position. In addition, during the heating process, the crane needs to regularly turn and adjust the billet to ensure that it is heated evenly.
Material transfer during the rolling process: During the rolling process, the steel billet will be rolled through multiple rolling mills. The bridge crane is responsible for transferring the steel billet from one rolling mill to another during this process, ensuring the continuous operation of the production line.
Finished product processing and packaging: After rolling is completed, the finished steel needs to be cooled, sheared, packaged and other processing. In this link, the bridge crane transports the finished steel products from the production line to the designated processing area and packages them for subsequent storage and transportation.
Equipment maintenance and overhaul: In the daily operation of the steel rolling mill, equipment maintenance and overhaul are essential. Bridge cranes can be used to hoist and move heavy equipment to facilitate maintenance personnel for inspection and maintenance work.
