BANG Kransysteme has completed a factory acceptance test for two heavy-duty process cranes destined for SSAB’s rolling mill in Oxelösund, Sweden.
The test took place at BANG Kransysteme’s headquarters in Oelsnitz, Germany, with representatives from SSAB and Granitor Systems, a longstanding integration partner, in attendance.
The two cranes tested include an overhead travelling crane with a 50t/15t capacity and a 28m span, and a 14t semi-gantry plate transport crane equipped with a vacuum lifting device.
The cranes will be used to transport slabs and to feed the tempering furnace at the SSAB facility.
During the acceptance process, the equipment underwent both mechanical and electrical inspection.
The team reviewed additional customer requirements to enable final adjustments before delivery to the customer site.
According to BANG Kransysteme, commissioning involved operating all drives and cabin controls to verify that every system was functioning correctly.
BANG Kransysteme sales head Peter Knösel said: “A huge thank you to the entire team of SSAB and Granitor! Our business relation has always been a truly special connection, built on trust, high quality, and forward oriented collaboration.”
SSAB is a steel producer that operates mills in Sweden, Finland, and the US. The company manufactures high-strength and advanced steels for various applications and has been active in the steel industry since 1878.
Granitor Systems has specialised in delivering turnkey and customised projects since 1996, working in sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure, and energy.
BANG Kransysteme describes itself as a full-service provider of crane solutions.
The company supplies crane systems for heavy industrial usage across global markets, including automated solutions for industries such as automotive and steel.
The firm’s cranes are designed to handle high loads, with some models capable of lifting several hundred tonnes.
In August 2026, BANG Kransysteme finished retrofitting process cranes at the BMW Group’s press shop. The work focused on modernising the existing cranes rather than installing new replacements.
