10 Ton European Overhead Crane for PNG Steel Coil Workshop
Background
In 2025, a steel company in Papua New Guinea reached out to DQCRANES for a reliable lifting solution to handle heavy steel coils in their production workshop. The project required not only precision in design but also strict consideration of the building structure and local environmental conditions, including earthquake resistance.The customer’s workshop featured:
- Lifting capacity: 10 tons
- Runway beam top height: 5.45m
- Building height: 7.015m
- Special condition: Located in a seismic area, requiring enhanced crane stability and safety
- Lifting materials: Heavy steel coils
Design & Communication Process
Initial Consultation:
Our engineering team carefully reviewed the client’s workshop layout, usage requirements, and special seismic considerations.
Key design considerations:
