The steel stockholding business is one of the biggest users of Street cranes and hoists and the companies extensive experience in handling steel coils is outlined elsewhere on this site. Street is the leading supplier of cranes for steel stockholding to Corus (formally British Steel) with sales of over 50 cranes in 10 years.

In most applications steel sections are handled by twin hoist cranes for improved stability. Steel warehouse cranes should be very carefully specified as fast speeds and heavy duty classifications are often necessary to achieve throughput and to cope with peak activity. The Street VX heavy-duty open winch hoist is designed for the most arduous duties. Magnet beams will also speed up cycle times and obviate the slinging problem when lifting sections.
