SAE / ANSI / AISI 316 is the second most commonly available/widely used type of stainless steel after the SAE/ANSI/AISI 304. Considered the generic workhorse, SS 304 overhead crane can serve in most situations with great success. However, while both are typically used in industry, SS AISI 316 overhead crane is used in even harsher environments where there is a need for:
• Greater corrosion resistance
• Greater tensile strength at higher operating temperatures
• High performance in acidic resistance
• Generally nonmagnetic
• Can perform well at a very wide temperature range (-150 to 950 °C)
SS 316 can withstand extremely corrosive environments and is easily shaped, welded and machined. So SS 316 overhead crane is a great choice for industries, like medical, aerospace, food industries, help handling storage tanks for chemicals, textile dyeing machines, cheese productions, etc.
Why Choose AISI 316 Cleanroom Crane?
• Easiness in cleaning, keep clean in workshop
The smooth surface of AISI 316 stainless steel overhead cranes minimizes contaminant buildup, making it simple to clean. Its exceptional corrosion resistance allows it to withstand harsh cleaning agents and chemicals, preventing rust and ensuring a sterile environment. Additionally, its non-porous nature ensures that it does not absorb liquids or contaminants, maintaining high hygiene standards.
• Relatively high-strength to weight ratio
In terms of structural performance, AISI 316 stainless steel provides excellent structural integrity, supporting significant loads while remaining lightweight. This makes SS overhead crane ideal for space-constrained cleanrooms. Its durability ensures long-term use with minimal maintenance, reducing downtime. Moreover, double girder overhead crane features more large load capacity, meeting various cleanroom lifting needs, ensuring robust and reliable performance.
