10 Ton Gantry Crane For Sale to Concrete Precast Yards in Dominica

Background

The concrete precast yard is a facility that produces prefabricated concrete elements such as beams, columns, slabs, and walls for various construction projects. The yard has a production capacity of 200 cubic meters per day and employs about 50 workers. The yard is located near the port of Roseau, where most of the materials and finished products are transported by trucks or ships. 

Challenges

The concrete precast yard in Dominica is where concrete elements are produced and stored before being transported to the construction site. These elements include beams, columns, slabs, walls and stairs. The precast yard has several production lines that require different types of cranes to handle the materials and products.
 
One of the production lines is for hollow core slabs, which are thin and long concrete slabs with hollow spaces inside. They are used for flooring and roofing systems because they are lightweight and durable. The hollow core slabs are made by extruding concrete through a machine that forms the hollow sections. After curing, the slabs are cut to the desired length and stacked on pallets.
 
The yard had limited space and could not accommodate large cranes or forklifts. Moreover, the concrete elements had different shapes and sizes, requiring flexible and precise lifting solutions.

They were looking for a reliable and efficient gantry crane for their concrete precast yard. DQCRANES designed and supplied a European standard gantry crane 10 tons for their applications.

• The 10 ton gantry crane will be installed above the production line of hollow core slabs to perform two main tasks: lifting the pallets from the cutting area to the storage area, and loading the pallets onto trucks for transportation. The gantry crane has a single girder with European standard design with a NR hoist that can travel along the girder. The girder spans 8 meters and covers the entire width of the production line. The European electric hoist has a lifting capacity of 10 tons and a lifting height of 4.5 meters.

How to Buy Suitable Gantry Crane from DQCRANES?

As a leading material handling solution and service provider, DQCRANES offer types of gantry cranes for your needs! If you want to buy a suitable gantry crane, here are some tips to help you choose the right gantry crane solution for your needs:
 

• Load capacity and span: The load capacity and span of a gantry crane determine how much weight it can lift and how far it can move horizontally. You should choose a gantry crane that has enough load capacity and span to handle your typical loads and cover your work area. You should also consider the future growth of your business and the possibility of handling heavier or larger loads in the future.
• Mobility and portability: Gantry cranes can be fixed or mobile, depending on whether they are mounted on rails or wheels. Fixed gantry cranes are more stable and suitable for heavy-duty applications, but they require more space and installation costs. Mobile gantry cranes are more flexible and convenient, as they can be moved around easily and adjusted to different heights. However, they may have lower load capacities and spans than fixed ones.
• Power source and control: Gantry cranes can be powered by electricity or manual operation, depending on the type of motor and hoist they use. Electric gantry cranes are more efficient and reliable, but they require a power supply and maintenance. Manual gantry cranes are cheaper and simpler, but they require more human effort and may have limited speed and precision. You should choose a power source that suits your budget, availability, safety requirements, etc.
• Environment and safety: Gantry cranes operate in different environments such as indoor or outdoor, wet or dry, hot or cold, etc., which may affect their performance and durability. You should choose a gantry crane that is designed for your specific environment and meets the relevant standards and regulations for safety and quality.
