Steel Mill Material Handling

The steel industry, and steel mills in particular, should cooperate with companies that design and manufacture heavy, steel mill equipment. This would include, cooling beds, shears, mill stands, entry troughs, and conveyors, etc.
Since 1979, GMB Heavy Industries has been primarily dedicated to the custom design, manufacturing, and installation of steel mill equipment, spare parts, and material handling systems for a variety of demanding applications.
Our in-house, North American based, engineering expertise, provides design (redesign), manufacturing, and installation of all the steel mill equipment we design. We have served the steel industry for more than 40 years and have provided significant capital equipment and countless steel mill spare parts to mills all across North America.
GMB Heavy Industries is a market leader in the engineering, manufacture, and installation of Long-product Cooling Beds. However, we are more than just a source for Cooling Beds. With GMB’s wide ranging expertise in the steel industry, you can rely on us for all your steel mill, material handling requirements.
Many Steel Mills throughout North America have worked with GMB to develop their material handling equipment. We also advise on recommended spare parts, in order to minimise costly downtime, for all custom-built material handling systems.

Chain Conveyor
Chain Conveyors are used for carrying a heavy load, such as different types of Beams, Bars, Pipes, and Bushels. GMB Heavy Industries Chain conveyors are made to work under severe conditions, including high heat, extreme dust, and wet environments.
Chain conveyors consist of Steel BlockChain and Coil Conveyor Chains in which we engineer, manufacture and install both types of chain conveyors. Suppose you have a chain conveyor built by another company and plan to reorder parts of the whole system. In that case, our engineering department can provide reverse engineering based on your current engineering drawings.
