Scrap Handling Crane Systems Designed for Continuous Duty and Material Flow

Scrap handling is demanding work. Heavy loads, irregular materials, abrasive environments, frequent cycles and tight production schedules all put pressure on your crane and lifting equipment.

Bohl Crane helps foundries, scrap yards, recycling facilities, steel processors and industrial manufacturers move metal scrap more safely and efficiently with crane systems, hoists, lifting magnets, below-the-hook devices, replacement parts and service support.

Whether you need a new scrap handling crane system, help selecting a lifting attachment, repairs for existing equipment or a modernization plan for an older crane, our team can help you find the right solution for your facility.

Scrap Handling Challenges in Foundries and Metal Processing Environments

Foundry managers, maintenance teams and production leaders face a unique set of challenges when handling metal scrap. The right crane and lifting equipment can help improve safety, reduce bottlenecks and keep material moving through demanding industrial environments.

Maximizing scrap value:
Scrap metal is a valuable material stream, but it needs to be moved, sorted and staged efficiently. Properly selected cranes, hoists, magnets and lifting attachments can help facilities handle reusable scrap more effectively and support stronger recovery and recycling processes.

Reducing processing costs:
Outdated or unreliable handling equipment can increase labor demands, slow production and create avoidable maintenance costs. The right scrap handling crane system can help reduce manual handling, improve workflow and support more efficient use of your team’s time.

Material flow efficiency:
Scrap handling equipment should help move material smoothly from collection areas to sorting, staging, loading or remelt processes. A well-designed crane or hoist system can reduce bottlenecks and help keep production moving.

Labor optimization:
Foundry scrap can be heavy, sharp, irregular and difficult to position safely. Magnet cranes, hoists and below-the-hook devices can reduce reliance on manual lifting and help keep workers farther from hazardous or repetitive handling tasks.

Harsh operating conditions:
Foundries, scrap yards and metal processing areas often expose equipment to abrasive materials, frequent lift cycles, dust, heat and impact. Scrap handling equipment needs to be selected for the full application, not just the load weight.

Bohl Crane Scrap Handling Solutions

Bohl Crane helps customers evaluate, source, service and support crane and lifting equipment for demanding scrap handling applications. From new crane systems and hoists to magnet cranes, engineered lifting devices, below-the-hook devices, replacement parts and maintenance support, our solutions are tailored to your material, facility layout, duty cycle and workflow.

Whether you are handling gates, risers, returns, castings, bins, buckets, ferrous scrap or mixed metal materials, our team can help identify the right equipment and support plan for your operation. Request support for your scrap handling application.

Magnet Cranes for Scrap Handling

Magnet cranes are commonly used to lift, sort and move ferrous scrap metal in foundries, scrap yards, recycling facilities, steel processing facilities and other industrial environments.

For customers handling iron, steel, castings, gates, risers, returns or other ferrous scrap, lifting magnets can improve material movement while reducing direct manual contact with scrap. Bohl Crane can help evaluate magnet crane options based on your material type, load requirements, duty cycle, facility layout and operating conditions.

Whether you need a new magnet crane system, support for an existing crane, or help determining whether a lifting magnet is the right attachment for your application, our team can help.

Automated and Semi-Automated Scrap Handling Solutions

Automation can help facilities improve consistency, reduce repetitive manual work and support more predictable material flow. In foundries and industrial scrap handling environments, automated or semi-automated crane systems may help move scrap through defined processes with less hands-on intervention.

Bohl Crane can help determine whether automation makes sense for your application based on your workflow, throughput needs, facility layout, staffing model and safety goals. For some facilities, the right solution may be a fully automated system. For others, semi-automated controls, upgraded crane systems, radio remote systems, pendants or an improved crane layout may provide the best return.

Custom Scrap Crane and Lifting Solutions

Not every scrap handling application fits an off-the-shelf solution. Heavy, irregular, abrasive or difficult-to-position materials often require a crane and lifting approach designed around the process.

Bohl Crane can help evaluate your material, environment and workflow to determine the right combination of crane system, hoist, lifting magnet, controls, engineered lifting device, below-the-hook device, service access and replacement parts support.

Whether you handle iron, steel, aluminum, castings, returns, bins, buckets or mixed scrap materials, our team can help develop a solution that fits your facility and supports long-term performance.

Scrap Handling Equipment Built for Demanding Environments

Scrap handling equipment needs to perform in tough conditions. Foundries, scrap yards, recycling facilities and metal processing operations may expose cranes, hoists and lifting attachments to abrasive materials, heavy loads, frequent cycles, dust, heat and impact.

Bohl Crane helps customers select equipment for the realities of the application, including capacity, duty cycle, controls, operator safety, service access, replacement parts availability and long-term maintenance needs.

The right scrap handling crane system can help improve material flow, reduce manual handling, support more efficient sorting and staging, and keep valuable scrap moving through your operation.

Supporting Foundry Productivity, Recycling and Long-Term Equipment Performance

Efficient scrap handling can support cleaner material flow, better recycling practices and more organized scrap recovery. For foundries and industrial facilities, the right crane and lifting equipment can help move reusable metal scrap through the process more safely and efficiently.

Bohl Crane also supports scrap handling operations beyond installation. Our team provides crane and hoist inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, replacement parts, modernization support and service programs to help protect your equipment investment and reduce unplanned downtime.

If your existing scrap handling equipment is slowing production, requiring frequent repairs or creating safety concerns, Bohl Crane can help evaluate whether service, modernization or replacement is the right next step.
