Overhead Crane in Nigeria - 10 Ton Overhead Crane for Concrete Workshop

DQCRANES, a prominent player in the global crane manufacturing industry, recently completed a successful project involving designing, manufacturing, and exporting a 10 ton single girder overhead crane to a concrete workshop in Nigeria, helping to facilitate efficient machinery component maintenance operations within the workshop.

Case Overview

The customer reached out to us through our website on Google. They mentioned that they already had a 5 ton overhead crane in their concrete workshop for regular productions. Recently they required a new workshop overhead crane for machinery components maintenance operation. 



After our engineer get the detailed information of their workshop and aimed operation, we recommend a 10 ton overhead crane for them, the span of the overhead crane is 28.5 meters. It can reach both sides of the workshop and move smoothly on the existing rails.

10 Ton Overhead Crane Design Features

1. Single Girder Structure: A single girder design was selected for its cost-effectiveness and suitability for medium-duty applications. The lightweight structure reduces overall material costs without compromising strength or performance.
2. High-Quality Materials: The overhead crane for sale Nigeria was constructed using high-grade steel to ensure durability and resistance to wear and tear in a concrete workshop environment.
3. Electric Hoist Integration: A CD1 model electric wire rope hoist was incorporated into the design for smooth and precise lifting operations. The hoist was equipped with advanced safety features such as overload protection and emergency stop functions.
4. Customized Span: The crane's large span was tailored to match the dimensions of the client's workshop - 28.5 meters, ensuring seamless integration into their existing infrastructure.
5. High Lifting Height: A lifting height of 6.35 meters was essential to handle large components without spatial constraints.
6. Control System: A user-friendly pendant control system was installed, allowing operators to control lifting and traveling motions with precision. Remote control functionality was also offered as an optional feature for added convenience.
7. Corrosion Protection: To address the humid and dusty conditions often found in concrete workshops, the crane components were treated with an anti-corrosion coating, extending the equipment's lifespan.

Production

Once the crane design was finalized, production commenced at DQCRANES' state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Our team adhered to strict quality control measures at every stage of production to ensure the single girder bridge crane met international standards such as ISO 9001 and CE certification.



The manufacturing process included:
 

• Precision cutting and welding of steel components.
• Rigorous testing of the electric hoist for load capacity and operational safety.
• Assembly and alignment of all components to ensure smooth functionality.

Before shipment, the single girder overhead crane underwent comprehensive factory acceptance testing (FAT) to verify its performance under simulated operational conditions.

Exporting to Nigeria

At DQCRANES, we have extensive experience in international shipping, ensuring that our products reach clients safely and on time.



For this project:
 

• The crane was disassembled into modular components for ease of transportation.
• Each component was securely packed to prevent damage during transit.
• Detailed assembly instructions and technical documentation were provided to facilitate on-site installation.

The shipment was delivered to Nigeria via sea freight, with all customs clearance procedures handled efficiently by our logistics team.

Installation and Commissioning

Upon arrival at the client's site, DQCRANES provided a 7/24 online installation guide with video, picture, paper instructions, etc. to oversee the installation and commissioning process. We worked closely with the client's staff to ensure the crane was installed correctly and aligned with workshop specifications.



During commissioning, the following steps were undertaken:
 

1. Assembly of the crane structure and installation of the electric hoist.
2. Calibration of lifting mechanisms and travel systems.
3. Testing of safety features such as emergency stops and limit switches.
4. Operator training sessions to familiarize the client’s team with the crane's controls and maintenance procedures.

The entire process was completed efficiently, minimizing downtime for the client's operations.

(Attention please: We can send qualified technicians to supervise the installation using the client’s tools, and skilled personnel. For specific installation costs and more details, please contact sales@cranesdq.com.)

Client Feedback

Since its installation, the 10 ton overhead crane has significantly improved operational efficiency at the client's concrete workshop. Key benefits reported by the client include:

• Enhanced productivity due to faster and more precise handling of machinery components.
• Reduced manual labor requirements, improving workplace safety.
• Increased reliability in maintenance operations, leading to minimized equipment downtime.

The client expressed high satisfaction with both the product quality and DQCRANES' professional service throughout the project.
