Home > Our Products > Quenched and Tempered Plates > Application > Quenched & Tempered Steel Plates for Crane Manufacturing
When it comes to mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, and heavy-lifting equipment — strength, weight reduction, and structural reliability are critical. This is where Quenched and Tempered (Q&T) steel plates become the industry standard.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply ultra high-strength Q&T plates used by crane OEMs and boom arm fabricators. Our inventory includes:
These plates deliver the strength-to-weight ratio required for extended crane arms, lifting frames, and telescopic boom assemblies.
Q&T plates are used across major crane categories:
Crane Applications:
Used in mobile, crawler, truck-mounted, and tower cranes manufactured to lift safely with reduced dead weight.
Cranes demand plates that offer high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and low weight:
| Property | Typical Range |
| Yield Strength | 690 – 1100 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | 770 – 1350 MPa |
| Elongation | 12–16% |
| Impact Resistance | ≥47J at -20°C to -40°C |
| Thickness Range | 6 mm – 100 mm |
These properties enable longer lifting booms, thinner structures, and higher load ratings per crane unit weight.
Our technical team works with crane manufacturers to match material grade to function:
| Crane Section | Recommended Grades |
| Telescopic lifting booms | Strenx 960 / Dillimax 890T / HITEN 980LE |
| Lattice boom and frames | S690QL / HITEN 780LE / A514 |
| Stabilizers and outriggers | S890QL / A517 Gr B / HIND HARD 600 |
| Slewing ring base plates | Dillimax 690T / S690QL |
| Counterweight frames | Strenx 700 / HIND HARD 500 |
Lifting performance, weight optimization, and fatigue life are enhanced by Q&T plates engineered for precision-built cranes.
Our plates conform to all leading international structural steel norms for crane boom and chassis fabrication:
| Standard | Typical Grades Supplied | Application |
| EN 10025-6 | S690QL, S890QL, S960QL | Boom structures, telescopic systems |
| ASTM A514 / A517 | Grade B, E, F | Stabilizers, outriggers, platforms |
| JIS G 3128 | HITEN 780LE / HITEN 980LE | Compact cranes, mobile lifting arms |
| Dillinger Plate Spec | Dillimax 690T / 890T / 965T | High-performance crawler cranes |
| SSAB Specification | Strenx 700 / 900 / 960 | Lightweight, long-range booms |
All materials come with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 MTC, compliant with OEM and EPC documentation requirements.

Finishes:
We’ve been the trusted partner for crane manufacturers and heavy fabrication workshops across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Our Advantage:
Whether you’re manufacturing a 50-ton crane or a 200-ton crawler, our plates deliver unmatched strength-to-weight precision.
Choosing the right plate often depends on lifting capacity, boom length, and cost targets:
| Crane Type / Use Case | Best-Fit Grades |
| Lightweight mobile cranes | Strenx 700 / Dillimax 690T |
| Mid-range lifting (50–100T) | S690QL / HITEN 780LE |
| High-lift telescopic cranes | S890QL / A514 Gr Q / Dillimax 890T |
| Crawler cranes & outriggers | HIND HARD 600 / HITEN 980LE |
| Budget-driven crane builds | A517 Gr B / HIND HARD 500 |
We’ll help you balance performance, lead time, and cost across your crane manufacturing cycle
