POSCO is building an EAF plant at its Gwangyang site in South Jeolla Province, with a planned annual capacity of 2.5 million tons, and is relying on transport technology from TII KAMAG. Commissioning is scheduled to begin in 2026.
As part of the project, three specially engineered vehicles were delivered: a more than 22-meter-long KAMAG industrial lift transporter (IHT) with two underfloor driver’s cabins, designed for the safe transport of pallets carrying up to 500 tons of molten steel. With a payload capacity of 518 tons, it is among the most powerful solutions of its kind. The delivery is complemented by two KAMAG slag pot carriers (SPC) in platform design, each offering a payload of 100 tons and intended for the efficient removal of slag.
The project was carried out in close cooperation with TII KAMAG’s long-standing local sales and service partner Kilwoo. This international collaboration ensures that POSCO not only receives high-performance vehicles but can also count on reliable service during ongoing operations.
“The cooperation with POSCO on this pioneering project highlights TII KAMAG’s role as a trusted partner for the global steel industry,” emphasized Y.W. Yoon of Kilwoo. “Being involved at such an early stage gives us the opportunity to work with our customers to shape sustainable production processes and create long-term value.”
