Process cranes are heavy-duty class (Heavy Duty / FEM 4M-5M) crane systems dedicated to a specific production process, requiring a high duty cycle and long service life. They are used in critical operations such as ladle casting transfer in iron-steel plants, turbine/generator installation in power plants, and press-hammer lines in heavy machinery manufacturing.
Kale Vinç Sistemleri carries out the assembly and commissioning of process cranes with a capacity from 1 ton up to 300 tons, usually in double-girder and double-trolley (backup hook) configurations. The manufacturing of this class of systems is generally commissioned by the investor with special engineering; turnkey on-site assembly, railing, power line and commissioning tests can be entrusted to the Kale Vinç team.
Work is performed with certified welders, fitters and licensed electrical personnel; annual inspections and wear tracking are guaranteed with a periodic maintenance contract. Since a one-hour stoppage on these lines can mean losses of millions, critical line assurance is prioritized.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a process crane and a standard crane?
Process cranes are designed for a high duty cycle, heavy-duty class (FEM/ISO classification) and special application requirements. Compared to standard cranes, they require stronger materials, redundant systems (backup motor, dual brake) and stricter maintenance plans.
If the investor handled manufacturing, can Kale Vinç do only the assembly?
Yes. The Kale Vinç field team carries out the site transport, assembly, railing, power line installation and commissioning of process crane systems manufactured by another producer, in a certified manner.
