1 Ton Custom Design Electric Underhung Overhead Crane

Tendering and procurement for this project was handled by a process plant contractor, supplying a new low clearance crane to use in a clean room environment, where very precise inspection requirements are carried out on aero engine components.

This special crane solution need to check overall crane dimensional clearances and maximum lifting heights possible, within the tight confines of the clean room.

Dongqi Cranes offered a professional design single girder overhead under-hung crane featuring a low headroom electric powered chain hoist, in 2 speed design and with reduced cross travel speeds of 10 & 2.5 m/min.

Following order placement, DQCRANES again carried out a Crane General Arrangement Drawing procedure in order to confirm the details of the equipment to be supplied and to verify the end client requirements before manufacture commenced.

This was followed by a crane manufacturing and installation timescale of 14 weeks, due to the nature of the special design and which also included load testing of the crane down-shop runway beams installed by the process plant contractor.

All site installation work was again subject to very stringent planning requirements, which required very carefully documented Risk Assessments and Method Statements, which were reviewed and agreed by the Project Manager and the end client Safety Department before any work could commence.
