Crane Safety & Anti-Collision Solutions for Steel Plants
Steel plants run cranes around the clock: over ladles in the melt shop, coils in the rolling mill and scrap in the yard. Aggra Cranes helps steel producers prevent collisions, stop overloads and keep critical cranes running, with safety devices and IoT monitoring built for heavy, continuous duty.
Lifting Challenges in Steel Plants
Every industry has its own lifting risks. Here are the ones Aggra Cranes helps customers solve every day.
Continuous Heavy Duty
Cranes work non-stop in heat and dust, so wear builds up quickly and failures are costly.
Many Cranes per Runway
Several EOT cranes often share one runway, and some bays have cranes working at different levels.
Critical Molten Loads
Ladle handling leaves no margin for overloads, sudden stops or collisions.
Cost of Downtime
A single crane stoppage can hold up an entire melt shop or rolling line.

What You Gain
We start by understanding your cranes, loads and site, then recommend only what you need. The result is safer lifting and fewer interruptions.
- Fewer crane collisions and near-misses
- Protection for cranes, loads and people
- Less unplanned downtime
- Better visibility of crane usage and health
- Stronger safety culture on the shop floor
Where Our Solutions Are Used
Frequently Asked Questions
How does anti-collision work with multiple EOT cranes on one runway?
Sensors continuously measure the distance between cranes. When they get too close, the system first slows the cranes and then stops them before the set safety limit, without depending on the operator's judgement.
What if our cranes work at different levels?
For bays where cranes operate at more than one level, our multi-level collision avoidance system protects against collisions between the upper and lower cranes.
Can Intellikran help reduce crane downtime?
Yes. By tracking load, operating hours and alarms, Intellikran helps maintenance teams spot issues early and plan service before a breakdown happens.
Can safety devices be fitted to older EOT cranes?
In most cases, yes. Our team checks your cranes and confirms which devices can be retrofitted.
