Kamag’s IHT will move molten steel loads of up to 500 tonnes at POSCO’s new EAF in Gwangyang.

TII Kamag specially developed the trio of vehicles for in-plant heavy-duty transport at POSCO’s new steelworks at its Gwangyang site in South Jeolla Province.

The delivery comprised an industrial lift transporter (ILT) that measures more than 22 m long and is equipped with two underfloor driver’s cabins, designed for the safe transport of pallets carrying up to 500 tonnes of molten steel. It has a payload capacity of 518 tonnes. 

TII Kamag also provided POSCO with a pair of its slag pot carriers (SPC) in platform type, each offering a payload of 100 tonnes and to be used to remove slag efficiently.

Kamag’s SPC ensures efficient slag handling at the new EAF in South Korea.

With the use of EAFs deemed a key technology to reduce CO2 emissions in the steel industry, POSCO’s plant has a planned annual capacity of 2.5 million tonnes. Currently under construction, commissioning is due to begin in 2026.

Earlier this month, Harland & Wolff Belfast purchased two IHTs from TII Kamag.
