RIG FOR HANDLING APRON PLATES
IN BILET MILL
 INTRODUCTION
•
•
• There are some equipments which are
not reachable by E.O.T Crane. To
maintain these equipments mobile
cranes are called up. It takes hours
to make it available. To reduce the
dependency of mobile crane a rig has
been made using in-house materials.
 THE PROJECT
• Using the principle of counterweight,
an ingot is used as counterweight
and a long billet as an arm. The
billet has been fixed on the bottom
of a series of holed plates and
these plates are welded on the
ingot. Now the billet has been
inserted and welded on the plates.
Two 112/ ” slings used to fasten the
ring on the hook of E.O.T. Crane. Now
we can access remote areas of the
shop floor using this rig.
