IÇDAŞ 3

The Challenge:
Moving Scrap 43 Meters Up Without Hundreds of Truck Loads

IÇDAŞ needed an efficient way to transfer large volumes of scrap from the steel mill harbor to a scrap loading station positioned more than 43 m (141 ft) higher. The demanding application required a combination of exceptional outreach, high duty cycle capacity, and continuous availability in the extremely harsh and dusty environment of the Biga steel mill. Using conventional transport would require hundreds of heavy-haul truck loads every day, adding complexity to the scrap logistics between the port and the steel mill. IÇDAŞ therefore needed a high-capacity solution capable of making this substantial vertical and horizontal transfer directly.

The Solution:
Direct Scrap Transfer from Harbor to Steel Mill

Building on IÇDAŞ’s experience with its first two E-Cranes, E-Crane developed a much larger machine specifically for this demanding scrap logistics application. The fixed-pedestal installation creates a direct material handling link between the harbor and the elevated scrap loading station.

The solution includes:

A 3000 Series / 26478 PD-E E-Crane with 157.5 ft / 47.8 m reach, providing the extensive outreach required to transfer scrap to the elevated loading station.
A 13 yd³ / 10 m³ Orange Peel Grab & Hook and 44 UStons / 40 Mtons lift capacity for heavy-duty scrap handling.
A Free Standing Pedestal configuration with a total E-Crane weight of 647 tons, creating a dedicated solution for the harbor-to-steel-mill transfer.
An 800-hp / 600 kW Electric Motor, supporting continuous operation with fast cycles and a net payload of 20 tons.
