With the specific overhead crane parameters, will Dongqi Crane quote you overhead crane right away? Don’t rush. What we offer is not just a set of overhead crane, but custom designed and complete material handling solution for your workshop.
The Australian client is planning to expand the shed and to install two sets of overhead cranes in the new shed, and quick turnover is a key factor. After receiving the inquiry, Dora, one of our best sales, did not rush to just provide a quotation as requested in the initial inquiry. She invested time and efforts in background check and communication with client to better understand the client’s business needs. Let’s check what Dora did:
After studying the box girder overhead crane inquiry, Dora called the agricultural equipment plant to talk with their engineer thoroughly to confirm the workshop application. Client sent through the current shed picture, machines, and shed expansion plan. And the pictures and drawing are emailed to Dongqi as follow:

The initial requirements are two sets of traditional type 5+5t single girder overhead crane (EOT crane) travelling in the same span of the shed, and the specifications of the box girder crane is as above.
After extensive communication, we suggest two sets of European-spec 6.3+6.3t single girder EOT crane travelling in separate spans based on the production line and business needs in 3-5 years. For each EOT box girder crane, there are two lifting points as some machines are as long as 18 meters. Two lifting points can work both independently and simultaneously, which enables flexibility and ensures safety and stability when lifting long-sized machines. Control wise, one remote is able to control two lifting points, lifting both separately and simultaneously.
To solve the material handling problem, we have studied every detail. With the technical support, we can help you to find out the most suitable crane solution.
During the communication, the client had a selection problem about the overhead box girder crane rails. This is how we find the suitable overhead crane rail for him.

For the rails, do you prefer the type of square steel 50*30mm (picture below)?
If this type, as the rated capacity of the crane is bigger now, rails will be 60*40mm.
The rails need to be welded with bearing beams.
It's better that our factory does the welding, when you receive the rails, they are already connected with bearing beams.
Otherwise, you will need to arrange welders to do the extra welding after you receive them.
If the rails do not necessarily have to be square type, actually we recommend P type rails (take P30 as an example, picture below).
P30 can either be welded to bearing beams, or use bolted clamps and platens to connect.
According to our understanding of AU standard, bolted clamps and platens are better.
To compare these two rails, the advantage of square steel is it's cheaper (about 30% cheaper than P type).
Its disadvantage is wheels of end carriages will be easily wear off because of the square corners.
That's why square steel is now becoming less prevalent than P type when choosing rails.
When you look at P type rail, you can see the corners are round-shaped, and the round corners are to protect wheels when running.
In the long run, we recommend P type rails.
Please let me know which you prefer and I will include it in revised quotation. Thanks!
Regards,
Dora
