Quoted from the published standard.
4 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The load capacity is 30–80 tons, but you must confirm the exact capacity for your specific model with the manufacturer.
The car can be electric, diesel, or hybrid. Electric versions typically use 380–690 V AC per IEC 60038. Verify the actual power system with the supplier.
A hydraulic tilting mechanism tilts the ladle up to 95 degrees for controlled pouring. The tilting angle and speed are adjustable via the control system.
The car has an electro-hydraulic fail-safe braking system and ingress protection IP54–IP65. Always verify safety compliance with the manufacturer.
