R ABUS overhead travelling cranes.
is dimensioned to withstand the high reactions that are generated due to the fact that the weight of the piece is far away from the vertical axis of the manipulator. In addition, it is also used to transport
materials weighing up to 18 tons between the furnaces and the presses. In short, Irizar Forge is a special case
in the Jaso Industrial Cranes portfolio: in addition to being customers, they are also responsible for supplying hooks for their equipment. A long-standing symbiotic relationship that demonstrates that both companies have high-end, robust, and long-lasting equipment. ABUS recently announced its overhead
travelling cranes are being used in flat and long steel distribution in Brazil. Flat and long steel is used as a raw
material for the production of machines, parts and tools in the majority of Brazilian industries. These materials are indispensable in the furniture industry, road construction, mechanical engineering, agricultural machinery and in the maintenance and repair in various industries in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Sidersul, a company based in this region and active in the steel market for well over 40 years, is preparing to celebrate its 50th
anniversary. Miguel Gonçalves, partner at Sidersul, says the guiding principle for his business is always the total satisfaction of his customers. “We achieve this through fast deliveries
and prefabricated materials. This is the reason why we always have to be up-to-date, both in terms of our know- how and our workforce. This includes new technologies in production but also the procurement of more modern work equipment,“ he said. There are more than 3,500 different
types of steel worldwide. These are classified according to their shape among other things such as flat steels and long steels, etc. A wide range of market segments can be efficiently served with a variety of these formats whereby each steel grade is usually used in several areas. Sidersul supplies companies in the states
of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. Sidersul distributes steel in general and supplies the market with sheets, beams, and tubes, with round, square and hexagonal steels that can be rolled or drawn, and provides also flat steel and angle iron. Gonçalves explains that the steel market generally experienced high growth rates
during the Covid pandemic and adds that both purchase volumes and prices increased significantly. “We see the need to expand in the thick plate sector, a material where we are seeing strong growth thanks to the acquisition of more plasma cutting machines,” he explains. “The ABUS EOT cranes installed by
Eidt-Ciriex help us a lot as they speed up the distribution and the transport of steel bars and plates whether for feeding the machines or for loading and unloading of the lorries. “We chose the ABUS cranes from Eidt-
Ciriex because we have great confidence in this brand which has been with us for a long time. These cranes are compact lifting devices with low maintenance costs in relation to the required working capacity. We are already using six overhead travelling cranes and are very satisfied with our latest acquisition.” Today Sidersul has three overhead
travelling cranes in operation where the original hoists have been replaced by compact ABUS electric wire rope hoists and also operates two ABUS single girder EOT cranes with 5 and 6.3 tons SWL respectively. ●
