Steel Mill and Foundry Fall Protection

Foundry and steel mill ladle cranes that move and pour molten material are subjected to harsh working environments. A high number of daily cycles, intense heat, and dirt all take a toll on even the most durable equipment. Reliable operation of cranes used in metal producing and metal forming industries is a necessity. Broken down cranes compromise production schedules and have a negative impact on profitability. And because steel mill and foundry cranes handle massive loads of molten material, their failure can pose a significant safety hazard to plant personnel.

Articulating fold away rigid beam fall arrest system meets all OSHA regulations.

As a result, economic considerations and safety imperatives require frequent crane inspection and preventative maintenance. Performing these tasks safely requires fall protection. A horizontal lifeline can run the length of the crane rail, allowing maintenance personnel to traverse the entire expanse safely. This is particularly important since overhead, traveling cranes can run the entire length of a facility, and are subject to failure at any point on the track.

Articulating Jib Boom and Fold-Away Fall Arrest Systems For Crane Bays

Fall protection is often required below cranes as well. Working at height in crane bays presents problems when the fall protection system interferes with the movement of an overhead crane. Crane bays often require a fold-away or articulating fall protection system that can be deployed as needed and retracted when overhead cranes are in use. Jib boom fall protection systems are ideal in any situation where permanently installed systems might interfere with the operation of overhead equipment. Regardless of your overhead crane’s unique path through the plant, or the foot-print of other equipment and obstructions in your crane bay, an engineered, fold-away fall arrest systems offer a perfect blend of OSHA compliance and maximum productivity.
