The Melt Cell in-cell crane is a bridge-type crane. It has a steel I-beam frame, called the bridge assembly, that rides on steel wheels and rails for side to side movement... A trolley assembly provides forward and backward movement so the hoists can be positioned almost anywhere in the cell. The in-cell crane main hoist is connected to a canister grapple that can grab canisters. The grapple has a 15, 000 pound load capacity. The 1, 000 pound auxiliary hoist is operated the same way as the main hoist. 2, record 4, English, - in%2Dcell%20hoist
