EOT Cranes and Light Cranes for Concrete Equipment Plant in India

Our client comes from one of the leading producers in India for concrete mixing systems, for transit mixers, and for concrete pumps in India. A new state-of-art plant of the company is to be found in the north of Bangalore. The complete production and final assembly of the transit mixers is situated here with an average output time of less than 40 minutes.

• Producing these robust vehicles in such a short processing time requires a high production competence which in turn relies on suitable material flow solutions. The company finally found us, we ensures the required materials are supplied to the individual work stations along the automated assembly line by making use of a solution that combines several EOT cranes with light weight crane systems.
• 6 single girder EOT cranes in total work in the top transport level: they have lifting capacities of between 2 and 4 tonnes and spans between 6.33 and 22.60 metres.
• All cranes feature monorail trolleys hoist. These compactly designed electric hoists have very favourable installation dimensions and come with two direct drives as trolley travel drives for cross travelling. This particular wire rope hoist is one of the most popular ones in the lower load capacity range of between 1 and 16 tonnes.
• The EOT cranes are used to transport to their assembly stations larger and heavier components such as the concrete mixing drum of the concrete mixing transport trucks.
• Smaller and less heavy components are transported by suspension crane systems at individual work stations. A total of 6 light duty cranes for SWLs of up to 1,250 kg are installed at the different work stations.
• The components processed in the assembly line have loads of between 500 and 1,600 kg: long and cross travelling are both done manually.

Productivity in this production plant has greatly increased thanks to this combination of EOT cranes and suspended rail systems ensuring the individual assembly stations are continually supplied with material.
