Crane solutions for chemicals and plastics – safe, durable, controllable

In the chemical and plastics processing industry, safety is paramount. Handling sensitive, often hazardous substances and high temperatures requires precise control, reliable technology, and the highest material durability. Crane systems are essential for transport, dosage, and maintenance – both in daily production and emergency operations.

Safe handling under special requirements

Production facilities in this sector are often highly complex and subject to strict safety and environmental regulations. Operators need lifting solutions that enable controlled work, offer explosion-proof designs, and withstand corrosive influences in the long term.

Specialized technology for sensitive processes

Primarily used are chain and rope hoists, controls, and special solutions for Ex-zones and aggressive environments. The components from SWF Krantechnik can be individually adapted to requirements such as ATEX approval, chemical exposure, or high process integration – for maximum operational safety and longevity.

Reliability in Ex-Zones

Certified lifting technology for explosive areas enhances safety throughout the operation.

Resistant to aggressive substances

Corrosion-resistant components withstand chemicals, vapours, and cleaning agents, ensuring long-term trouble-free operation.

Safe and controlled lifting

Precise control systems enable sensitive handling – even with sensitive or reactive materials.

Customized solutions for complex crane systems

Modular crane systems can be optimally integrated into existing manufacturing concepts and safety architectures.
