Underhung Crane 5 Ton S3.6m H6m for Radioactive Waste Container Handling

This underhung crane is specially configured for safe handling of solid radioactive waste collection containers and spent filter collection containers through several design choices:

• Remote control only: The operator stays at a safe distance and controls the crane from outside the immediate handling area
• Slow, precise hoist lifting: The NR electric hoist uses a 0.8/5.0 m/min lifting speed — slow speed prevents shock loading and reduces the risk of container damage or spillage
• NR electric hoist: A proven, reliable hoist type widely used in specialized lifting applications, with smooth acceleration and deceleration
• Precise trolley and long travel: Both hoist travel (2.0~20 m/min) and crane travel (2.0~20 m/min) allow the container to be positioned precisely over the storage or transfer location
• A5 duty class: Rated for moderate to heavy utilization with a reliability margin suitable for critical handling operations
• Compact underhung design: Fits controlled workshops with limited headroom while maintaining a good hook height

Yuantai can also add optional features such as double brakes, redundant hoist brakes, or additional safety interlocks for higher-risk radioactive waste handling. Contact us to discuss your specific safety requirements.

Remote control only is specified on this underhung crane because:

• Operator safety: The operator can control the crane from a distance, outside the immediate handling area, reducing exposure during radioactive waste container handling
• Better visibility: A wireless remote allows the operator to move to the best viewing position for each lift, not tied to a pendant cable
• No cable to manage: A pendant cable would trail across the workshop floor and could interfere with handling operations or become contaminated
• Contamination control: With no pendant cable, there is less equipment to decontaminate or replace if contamination occurs
• Ergonomic operation: The operator can work comfortably from a safe control station or observation point

If pendant control is also required for specific situations (e.g., maintenance or backup operation), a dual pendant + remote setup can be specified — contact Yuantai for details.

Eight numbers on this underhung crane drawing must match your workshop, or the crane will not fit or operate correctly:

If any of these differ from your workshop, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the underhung crane.

200~400mm rail width is specified for this underhung crane because:

• Wheel diameter Ø130mm — the wheel is designed to run on 200~400mm rail width
• 5t capacity and 3.6m span: The load moment requires a rail with sufficient head width and web thickness
• Underhung crane design: The rail must support the end carriage running on the bottom flange
• Standard availability: 200~400mm rail width is common for underhung cranes, easy to source and replace
• Long service life: 200~400mm rail is standard for 5t underhung cranes in continuous use

Do not substitute a narrower rail without recalculating the wheel load and dynamic forces. The Ø130mm wheel and 33.8 kN wheel load require 200~400mm rail width or equivalent.

Yes — this underhung crane is specifically configured for radioactive waste container handling in a controlled workshop, but additional site-specific engineering is usually required. Considerations for nuclear or radiologically controlled environments:

• Decontamination-friendly surfaces: Smooth, easily cleaned surfaces and fewer crevices to trap contamination
• Sealed or protected electricals: IP-rated enclosures to prevent dust and moisture ingress, and to allow washdown if needed
• Redundant safety devices: Optional double brakes, dual limit switches, or other redundant safety features
• Remote control priority: Already specified — the operator remains at a safe distance
• Material compatibility: Certain paints, lubricants, or materials may not be suitable — confirm with your radiation protection team
• Regulatory compliance: Local nuclear safety regulations will apply and may require additional documentation, inspection, or certification

Contact Yuantai Cranes to discuss your specific nuclear or radiologically controlled environment requirements — we can propose a tailored solution with the appropriate safety features and documentation.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the underhung crane supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• Runway rail (200~400mm) and rail fasteners
• Runway beam and building column reinforcement
• Building structural support for the 33.8 kN wheel load
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator
• Remote control radio reception range verification
• Containment, ventilation, or radiation protection measures for the controlled workshop
• Erection crane and site lifting equipment
• Local electrical connection, nuclear safety permits, and inspections

Because the underhung crane runs on elevated runway rails in a controlled workshop, the building structure and safety infrastructure are critical — the runway beam and columns must support the 33.8 kN wheel load, and the controlled environment must meet local regulations. Yuantai can provide runway load drawings and technical documentation as optional items.

Send these eleven items and Yuantai will issue a free custom underhung crane CAD drawing and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Required lifting capacity (t) — e.g., 5t
2. Crane span (m) — e.g., 3.6m
3. Required lifting height (m) — e.g., 6m
4. Rail width (mm) — e.g., 200~400mm
5. Load type — e.g., solid radioactive waste containers, spent filter containers
6. Number of underhung cranes required (e.g., 1 unit)
7. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph) — e.g., 3P 380V 50Hz
8. Duty class — e.g., A5
9. Control requirement — e.g., remote control only, or pendant + remote
10. Nuclear or radiologically controlled environment requirements
11. Any special safety features (double brakes, redundant limits, etc.)
