STEEL INDUSTRY
Remarkable logistical benefits can be obtained in steel industry by using the cassette based transport system. Cassettes offer a means of outdoor intermediate storage and pre-preparation of shipments of the products whether they are plates, sheets, pipes coils or in other form.
Pohang Iron & Steel, which is one of the biggest steel companies in the world, has chosen our translifters for terminal handling and ship loading/unloading of finished products. They have been able to significantly cut the handling times and costs.
With Logister translifters it is possible to transfer up to 100t loads using standard pull tractors and even more using Logister hevy duty translifter - pull tractor combinations.
The degree of automation can be increased from remote control up to fully unmanned agv-operation.
Special cassettes are available for sheet / roll transfer. Optional equipment such as lifter-operated weather covers can be included according to the user's wish. Translifters and cassettes can also be used for scrap and pellet transfer on the raw material side with different automatic loading / unloading capabilities.
Logister also supplies manually controlled or automated rail-based equipment for material transfer between scrap yard, melting and casting stations, grinding shop, rolling mill etc.
Logister industrial locomotives, (free moving / chain-based), stationary wagon movers and railway wagon loading/unloading stations can be used on both end product as well as raw material side.
