E-Crane Installed at River Metals

The River Metals Recycling LLC subsidiary of David J. Joseph Co. has installed an E-Crane Model 7317 electrical equilibrium crane at its Louisville, Ky., location.

According to a news release from E-Crane International USA, Galion, Ohio, the rail-mounted Series 1000 crane installed in Louisville offers 104 feet of reach and 15 tons of lifting capacity.

The equilibrium crane is feeding a 3,000 hp Henschel stationary shear at the Louisville River Metals Recycling location and “replaces several conventional cranes” at the task, according to E-Crane International USA.

The cranes are marketed as quiet, fuel-efficient material handlers for large-volume scrap recycling applications.

The company has also announced that a rail-mounted E-Crane model has been ordered for the Sever-Corr electric arc furnace steel mill and scrap mill service location in Columbus, Miss.
