Shanghai Crane Motor Factory Co., Ltd.

Manufacturing focus

Shanghai Crane Motor Factory focuses on motors for lifting and metallurgical duties. Its official catalogue distinguishes wound-rotor crane families such as YZ and YZR from inverter-driven crane motors such as YZB and YZP. It also lists YTSP and BPY variable-frequency motors, YE3 and YE4 industrial induction families, Z-series DC motors and YGP roller-table drives. These series serve different starting, braking and speed-control requirements and should not be treated as interchangeable.

The company describes production in Shanghai and Haimen and shows applications in steelworks and crane equipment. Its YZB description highlights overload capability, mechanical strength and variable-speed operation for crane and metallurgical service. Published frame-size spans differ by family; a buyer should confirm the exact frame, mounting and duty class for the proposed series rather than apply the broadest range to every product.

A crane or rolling-mill inquiry should specify load inertia, lifting or travel duty, starts per hour, brake arrangement, speed-control method, supply, enclosure and ambient conditions. For retrofit work, include the existing motor nameplate, shaft and flange drawings, gearbox interface and control scheme. Ask the manufacturer to identify the exact motor family, thermal rating, permitted converter and acceptance tests for the operating cycle.
