HANDLING MACHINERY

Since its commissioning in 1934, NKMZ has designed and manufactured a large variety of cranes of different rates and applications for a number of production sectors.   In the late 40s of the 20th century, an intricate 150-ton portal crane for the Moskva-Volga canal, the first 125-ton teeming cranes for Makeevsky, Kuznetsky, Dneprodzerzhinsky and Zaporozhsky iron and steel plants and some traveling cranes for the power stations were made at NKMZ.   Later on, the product mix of NKMZ was much extended. Now, NKMZ produces both the cranes of a general purpose and of special applications. A number of the crab, pit, slab, charging, casting, ingot-stripping, charging-box and other cranes has been designer for the iron and steel plants.   In the early 90s, based on the production capacities employed earlier for the space and missile complex of the USSR, a variety of the self-propelled crawler- and wheel-mounted cranes along with the locomotive cranes were designed and implemented in service.   Another aspect of the development works carried out at NKMZ now is designing of a number of the erecting and fire-fighting truck-mounted lifts and elevators.   With the stringent requirements for the crane reliability and efficiency in view, NKMZ is constantly upgrading the available equipment and expanding the range of services including the crane maintenance and retrofit.   Lifting and conveying machines offered here are being designed based on application of the latests technologies implemented both inside the country and abroad and the experience accumulated all over the world. Reliability and efficiency, easy maintenance and servicing are the main criteria adopted for designing and manufacture of this kind of machinery.
