5 Ton Gantry Crane for Outdoor Construction Project in Zimbabwe

In the rapidly evolving construction industry, the demand for efficient and reliable lifting solutions continues to grow. To meet these requirements, we are proud to present a detailed case study of a 5 ton single girder gantry crane with wire rope hoist, designed specifically for an outdoor construction project in Zimbabwe. With our innovative design solutions and unique design features, the 5 ton gantry crane is a smart decision for outdoor projects. 

Customer Requirements:

Our client is a prominent construction company based in Zimbabwe with a track record of successfully executing various infrastructure projects. Their latest project involved an outdoor construction project that required heavy lifting operations. Recognizing the importance of having a reliable lifting solution, they contacted us to provide them with a suitable 5 ton gantry crane.
 
They needed a crane that could withstand extreme weather conditions, offer high lifting capacity and ensure maximum operator safety. Additionally, they were keen to find a crane that was easy to maintain and would continue to operate efficiently for years to come. 

Our Gantry Crane Design Solutions:

In order to meet the customer's requirements, we proposed a 5 ton single girder gantry crane with a wire rope hoist. This design offers the perfect balance between lifting capacity and flexibility, making it ideal for outdoor construction projects. The single-beam design allows for easy maneuvering and efficient use of available space, while the wire rope hoist ensures precise and safe lifting operations. 

Technical Parameters:

• Lifting capacity: 5 tons
• Span: 20 meters
• Lifting height: 6 meters
• Hoist type: CD1 wire rope hoist
• Lifting speed: 8m/min
• Traveling speed: 30m/min
• Rail type: P22
• Power supply: 380V, 50Hz,3 Phase
• Control model: pendent control & remote control

Design Features:

1. 1.Main Girder: The main girder is a welded steel box section that spans the width of the crane and supports the lifting mechanism and trolley. It is typically designed with a safety factor of 5, meaning that it can withstand a load that is five times greater than the rated capacity of the crane.
2. 2.End Trucks: The end trucks are wheeled assemblies that support the main girder and allow the crane to move along the runway. They are typically equipped with four wheels, two on each side, and are powered by electric motors.
3. 3.Trolley: The trolley is a motorized carriage that travels along the main girder and supports the lifting mechanism. It is typically equipped with a wire rope hoist, which is used to lift and lower the load.
4. 4.Lifting Mechanism: The lifting mechanism is the device that is used to raise and lower the load. It is typically a wire rope hoist, but can also be a chain hoist or hoist trolley.
5. 5.Runway: The runway is the track that the crane travels along. It can be either floor-mounted or overhead-mounted. Floor-mounted runways are more common for gantry cranes, as they do not require any additional support structure.

 
Other Design Details: In addition to the main components listed above, a 5 ton single girder gantry crane will also typically include the following features:
 

• Electrical controls: The electrical controls allow the crane operator to start, stop, and move the crane, as well as raise and lower the load.
• Safety features: Safety features such as overload protection, limit switches, and emergency stop devices are essential for any crane.
• Auxiliary equipment: Auxiliary equipment such as end stops, bumpers, and guards may also be required, depending on the specific application.

 
Now the production of 5 ton outdoor gantry crane has been finished, is ready to ship to Zimbabwe! 

Why Choose Gantry Cranes for Outdoor Project?

• Portability: Gantry cranes can be moved around the construction site relatively easily, even on rough terrain. This makes them ideal for projects where lifting equipment needs to be moved frequently.
• Versatility: Gantry cranes can be used to lift and move a wide variety of materials, including heavy loads such as precast concrete beams and steel girders. This makes them a valuable asset for any construction project.
• Reach: Gantry cranes can have a long reach, which allows them to lift and move materials over long distances. This is especially useful for projects where the lifting area is large or where there are obstacles in the way.
• Stability: Gantry cranes are very stable, even when lifting heavy loads. This is important for safety reasons, especially on outdoor construction sites where the wind can be a factor.

 
Here are some specific examples of how gantry cranes are used in outdoor construction projects:
 

• Bridge construction: Gantry cranes are used to lift and place precast concrete beams on bridge decks. They can also be used to lift and move heavy steel girders for bridge trusses.
• Building construction: Gantry cranes are used to lift and place precast concrete panels on the walls and floors of buildings. They can also be used to lift and move heavy steel beams and columns for building frames.
• Power plant construction: Gantry cranes are used to lift and place heavy equipment in power plants, such as turbines, generators, and transformers.
• Oil and gas construction: Gantry cranes are used to lift and move heavy equipment in oil and gas fields, such as drilling rigs and production platforms. 
• Overall, electric traveling gantry cranes are a versatile and reliable lifting solution for a wide variety of outdoor construction projects.
