10 Ton and 20 Ton Overhead Cranes to Assembly Plant in Argentina

Project Overview

In 2025, DQCRANES completed the design, production, and installation of two custom overhead crane systems for a large equipment assembly plant located in Córdoba, Argentina. The project involved:

A 10-ton single-girder electric overhead crane for general component handling
A 20-ton double-girder overhead traveling crane for heavy machinery assembly and large parts transfer

The client, a leading industrial equipment manufacturer, required a safe, efficient, and long-lasting lifting solution to meet daily production demands and enable smooth handling of heavy materials across multiple workstations.

Client Requirements

• High reliability and stable lifting performance for daily operations
• Maximize workspace flexibility in two separate workshop bays
• Remote control systems with safety features
• custom crane spans to match the plant’s structure
• Fast-track production and on-site installation support

How to Choose an Overhead Crane in Argentina?

Overhead cranes are essential tools in Argentina’s manufacturing, logistics, steel, energy, and construction industries. A well-matched crane boosts productivity, minimizes downtime, and ensures operator safety.

With many crane options available, DQCRANES is here for you to select the right overhead crane to ensure safety, efficiency, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

Key Factors When Choosing an Overhead Crane in Argentina

Determine Your Lifting Requirements

Before comparing crane models, clarify the following:

1. Lifting capacity (tons): What is the maximum weight to lift?
2. Lifting height (meters): How high does the crane need to lift?
3. Span (meters): Width between the rails or columns.
4. Work frequency: Occasional, daily, or 24/7 operation?
5. Load type: Pallets, equipment, coils, steel bars, etc.

Choose the Right Crane Type

Single Girder vs. Double Girder:

• Single Girder: Economical and compact, suitable for lighter loads (up to ~20 tons).
• Double Girder: Higher capacity and height, suitable for heavier and frequent lifting.

Top Running vs. Underslung:

• Top Running: Ideal for heavy-duty applications with more headroom.
• Underslung: Fits spaces with limited headroom or structural limitations.

Environment & Application

• Indoor or Outdoor Use: Outdoor cranes require weather-resistant components.
• Special Environments: For dusty, explosive, or corrosive environments, choose a crane with the right protection (e.g., ATEX-rated).

Check Support & Maintenance

• Fast delivery and on-site installation service.
• Spare parts inventory.
• Training and technical support in Spanish.
