ABSTRACT:
A hoisting mechanism for handling the cover of an electric arc furnace comprises a pivotable gantry base and gantry arms connected thereto which extend over the furnace cover. Traverse bars overlay the gantry arms and are connected to the furnace cover by hoisting rods which pass through the gantry arms. Lifting mechanisms preferably in the form of hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangements are secured, on one end, to the gantry arms and, on the other end, to the lower side of the traverse bars. The mechanism is electrically insulated to eliminate deterioration of the equipment and the existence of electrical circuits and, in addition, the hoisting rods and the piston cylinder mechanisms are water-cooled.
