Tata Steel UK Awards Crane Deal for Green Steel Project

30 May 2025 CW Team

Tata Steel UK has accelerated its green steelmaking plans by awarding a major crane contract to JASO Industrial Cranes, a global leader in process crane manufacturing. The move is part of Tata Steel鈥檚拢1.25 billion investment in sustainable steel production at its Port Talbot plant in South Wales.

The new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) facility, set to become operational by 2028, will reduce the site鈥檚 carbon emissions by 90 per cent, or five million tonnes annually. It will be one of the largest EAF units globally.

JASO will deliver seven process girder cranes, including 500-tonne cranes for liquid steel ladle handling, two 80-tonne scrap cranes for raw material supply, and two 35-tonne cranes for electrode maintenance. These are essential for ensuring efficient and low-emission steel production.

Tata Steel鈥檚 partnership with JASO dates back to 2019 when they replaced a 60-year-old crane. The new project builds on that experience and supports Tata Steel鈥檚 transition from blast furnaces to electric arc technology using local scrap.

Tata Steel operates the UK鈥檚 largest steelworks at Port Talbot, with a capacity of three million tonnes per annum and a workforce of around 8,000 people.
