What is a Coil Crane?
The coil crane is a handling crane designed for steel coils, metal plates and bar stocks. It provides stable clamping and transporting of round coils of different sizes and weights. And, you don’t need to worry about coil slipping, surface damage and low efficiency in workshops.
DINGYA’s coil crane is widely used in steel mills, coil storage yards, metal service centers, rolling mills, and manufacturing workshops. It can greatly shorten the working cycle and protect your goods from scratches and deformation.
As a reliable coil crane supplier, we ensure that each product meets the global safety and quality requirements. Also, we provide customized solutions to match your workshop layout and production needs.

Our Products
It is lightweight and runs flexibly, so it is suitable for your small workshop to handle light-heavy coils.
It delivers high load-bearing capacity and excellent anti-fatigue ability. Perfect for heavy coil operation in large factories.
Equipped with a C-shaped hook, it can firmly clamp the steel coil. And, you can quickly transfer the coil horizontally.
This coil crane installs an automatic clamping mechanism with high clamping force. It achieves continuous coil loading and unloading.
Features of the Coil Crane
Each coil crane is equipped with an exclusive hook and sling structure to match your materials’ shapes. It can keep products intact and reduce economic losses even in frequent handling.
We use mechanical and electrical dual buffer technology, which can reduce the swing amplitude during the crane’s starting and traveling. This will make coil transportation smooth and prevent accidents.
We install limit devices and buffer blocks at both ends of the crane. So when the crane approaches obstacles, it will decelerate to avoid harming the workshop wall.Â
Through the high-precision load limiter, you will get an alarm signal when the lifting load exceeds the rated weight. It provides all-round protection for your employees and equipment.
With a high-quality motor and traveling components, our coil crane can achieve long-distance operation for a long time. Thus, you can use it in steel mills to improve production efficiency.
You can freely switch the control mode according to your workshop needs. This can make your operators work away from the heavy load area, avoiding potential risks.
The main beam of our coil crane is welded with high-strength steel. And the whole machine offers strong rigidity and wind resistance, so it adapts to a harsh working environment.
DINGYA’s coil crane is easily accessible for inspection and lubrication. You can quickly check the components and find the fault point. Therefore, it minimizes the time spent on upkeep.

Professional Coil Lifting Avoids Material Damage
Our coil crane is paired with an anti-slip lifting structure, which can firmly fix round coils of different sizes and weights during moving. It effectively prevents coil rolling and surface damage. Compared with ordinary cranes, our coil crane helps protect the integrity of your raw materials, reduces the scrap rate of products, and saves costs for your factory.
Reduce Your Operation Risk
We integrate anti-sway, anti-collision, and load limiter into our coil crane. It can help stabilize the running state of the coil and prevent accidents. This not only reduces the wear of crane parts, lowers the failures, but also makes your handling process safer, thereby boosting your productivity.
Customized Solution Fits Your Demand
DINGYA provides comprehensive customization services, including lifting weight, span, lifting height and control mode. This can perfectly match your workshop\ size and production capacity, avoiding the waste of resources.Â
We also support one-stop services from design, production, installation guidance, to commissioning, helping you get a stable and efficient coil handling machine and enhance your brand reputation.
Typical Applications of Coil Crane
Our coil crane can safely and stably lift, transfer and stack hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel coils. With advanced anti-sway design, your steel coils won’t be damaged during handling. The crane can match the high-intensity continuous production pace, improving your lifting efficiency.
You’ll often see it in metal processing, cutting and stamping factories. Our crane can adapt to different diameters and weights of steel coils, solving the trouble of manual handling and adjusting. Therefore, you will save a lot of labor and equipment costs.
It mainly transports metal plates, steel coils, and other raw materials. Its long-span traveling achieves the cross-area operation in large workshops. Also, thanks to the dual control mode, you can manage the production line and prevent schedule delays caused by material shortages.
DINGYA’s coil crane is also used for stacking and turnover of bulk steel coils and metal materials. It is suitable for your compact yard, and you don’t need to worry about collisions between materials. Therefore, the crane helps you reduce the storage costs.
Our coil crane can also help you load steel coils for pipe production. We provide C-hook and tong type lifting options, which are convenient for you to perform horizontal and vertical lifting of different materials. Meanwhile, it can guarantee the quality and efficiency of tube production.
The coil cranes can protect the surface of your raw materials from damage through precise lifting. Moreover, the fully certified components provide you with a reliable guarantee for long-term continuous operation. This helps you cut the time-consuming repair.Â

You should stop the operation immediately and cut off the power. Then, check the clamping position. You need to adjust the coil angle to make a stable state. Also, inspect the anti-slip liner condition; if the liner is severely worn, you should replace it in time. Never force lifting to avoid the risk of coil falling.
The coil crane can handle heavy rolled coils, such as steel coils, hot‑rolled and cold‑rolled coils, galvanized and aluminum coils. It can also lift cylindrical metal coils with stable density. For safety reasons, you’d better not lift fragile or irregular light materials.
Under normal conditions, our coil crane can serve 12–18 years. It depends on the working level of the crane, your operation frequency and the working environment. For example, cranes used in high-heat and high-corrosion environments may offer shorter life. But if you conduct regular maintenance, they will serve you for over 20 years.
Single girder coil crane is compact and lightweight, which is suitable for light load and short span coil handling. On the other hand, double girder coil cranes have larger load-bearing capacity, better anti-fatigue performance. So it is ideal for your long span and high-frequency coil handling in large workshops.
The lifting tools for coil cranes include C‑hooks, coil lifting clamps, electromagnetic chucks and nylon lifting slings.Â
The C‑hooks are very popular for steel coil inner‑hole lifting. For coil clamps, it is safe to handle the material horizontally. And you can use electromagnetic chucks to lift coils quickly without contact. For nylon slings, it significantly prevents surface scratches in your steel coil.
Considerations for Choosing the Right Coil Crane
Lifting Capacity & Coil Specification
You need to confirm the single coil maximum weight, outer and inner diameter, and stacking needs. It is necessary to reserve a 15% margin for the rated lifting weight. And it can help you avoid safety hazards caused by overload.Â
At the same time, you should rely on the coil size to select C-hook or tong type structure. This ensures the safety and efficiency of handling.
Workshop Span & Lifting Height
You should also measure the span of the workshop, the distance between the workshop beam and the ground, and the existing track layout.Â
For a small factory within 20m, a single girder coil crane is enough for your light-duty operation.Â
If you hold a large workshop and want to lift a heavy load, the double girder coil crane is better.
Choosing a coil crane that fits your workshop layout can guarantee the later smooth production.
Lifting Accessory
If you mainly carry out horizontal lifting of steel coils, the C-hook type coil crane is better. It can help you fast clamp the materials. When you hold large-scale projects, the tong type coil crane is more suitable, which does not slip during lifting. For plate and coil handling, we support an extended hook to reduce your extra equipment cost.
Daily Output
If your workshop operates continuously, you can select a higher working level configuration.
It is equipped with advanced motor and solid steel, and can handle high-intensity production rhythm. For small metal processing factories, the standard model can meet most of your needs.
