An Indiana steel mill took advantage of Bushman’s ReNEW service to recondition one of its pieces of below-the-hook equipment—a 45-ton capacity slab tong. The lifting device is used in a caster line to unload slabs from a run out table.
The engineering challenge being faced was that the 23,000 lb. tong had been severely damaged and required reverse engineering of critical components. An obsolete auto-latch mechanism was replaced by a Bushman custom-engineered auto-latch mechanism as part of the solution.
Bushman’s ReNEW Repair Services, performed in-house or on-site, keep material handling equipment operating safely and efficiently. Other brands besides Bushman Equipment, Inc. can also be inspected and repaired.
