Scrap handling cranes work in the scrap yard, loading scrap into buckets that are transported to the melt shop. These cranes are typically high-duty, high-speed cranes. Special attention is paid to the crane operator’s environment because of the high dust, noise and vibration levels that are typical in the scrap yard environment.
