Aluminum Industry

Bradley Lifting has designed and manufactured a diverse line of lifting equipment for the Aluminum Industry. Our engineers have developed lifting solutions covering many phases of the aluminum manufacturing process: anode production, smelting, casting and rolling / extruding.

Carbon Plants

From Anodes to Cathodes, Bradley Lifting has solutions to suit every step of the manufacturing process. We have developed single purpose tongs for handling carbon blocks in the “green” and “baked” states, as well as multi-block handling grabs for high capacity production. We also have a full range of Bake Furnace maintenance equipment for cleaning and straightening of Flue Walls, Flue Wall demolition tongs, Assembled Flue Wall Lifters, Pit Maintenance Platforms and More!

Smelter Equipment

Through many years of experience working closely with the top Primary Aluminum producers in the world, Bradley Lifting has developed a series of proven, custom-built solutions to assist with Potline maintenance and production. Anode lifters, pot skimming tongs, tapping ladle beams, bath crucible beams, crucible pouring beams, and superstructure/potshell lifters are just a few of the examples of our capabilities.

Casthouse Equipment

Bradley Lifting has a long history of providing the highest quality lifting equipment to Aluminum Casthouses around the world. Whether mechanical to motorized, we can provide a lifter to suit any ingot you can produce! For Multi-Billet handling, we have a special range of products for clearing the casting pits and loading the furnaces. We also have a wide range of maintenance tools specifically suited to casting process equipment.

Rolling Mill Equipment

For the rolling mill, Bradley has developed many styles or work roll, backup roll, and roll set handling rigs to assist will roll change operations. Additionally, tools to aid in the maintenance process such as spindle handling rigs, mandrel lifters, and cylinder lifters are just some of the solutions we can offer. For handling of semi-finished and finished products, Bradley Telescoping Coil Grabs are the superior choice for your production needs.

Plate and Sheet Handling

The handling of sheet and plate can be a challenge for aluminum production. Bradley Lifting has solutions to suit handling of single sheets and multiple sheet stacks whether in the production area or final inspection, packing, and shipping. Slab Tongs, Telescoping Lifters, and Vacuum Lifters are just three examples of equipment we can provide. We have developed lifters for extra long plate sections, and have even provided tools for handling of cropped ends.

Billet Handling

For Vertical Drop Casting processes, Bradley has ingot lifting solutions to suit any configuration. Handling rows of multiple round billets is a very common application, and one we have extensive experience with. Bradley Billet Lifting Beams offer unmatched safety and reliability for your casting operations, and Bradley Motorized Billet Grabs offer the best safety and efficiency for furnace loading applications.
