A leading industrial plant in Saint Petersburg needed a reliable solution for lifting heavy molds in a fast-paced production environment. As an experienced overhead crane manufacturer, we provided a customized 64 ton overhead crane that perfectly met their operational requirements and established a foundation of long-term trust. Read on to see how we delivered efficiency, reliability, and peace of mind.
When Nikolai, a senior engineer at this major industrial plant in Saint Petersburg, set out to procure a high-performance overhead crane, he faced multiple critical challenges:
Technical Compatibility: The crane had to integrate seamlessly with the existing workshop layout and accommodate the unique processes required for heavy mold handling. Any mismatch could disrupt production and compromise safety.
Budget Constraints: While exploring multiple overhead crane suppliers, Nikolai sought a solution that delivered maximum performance and reliability without exceeding the allocated budget. Cost-effectiveness was as important as technical capability.
Operational Concerns: As this was his first time sourcing a crane from China, Nikolai was cautious about installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance. He needed assurance that the crane would operate smoothly from day one, with dependable after-sales support.
These combined concerns made the decision challenging. Nikolai needed a partner who could address all aspects – technical, financial, and operational – with clarity and reliability.
To address the client’s multiple concerns, our team delivered a carefully planned solution:
Custom Engineering for Seamless Integration: We conducted detailed technical discussions to understand the workshop layout and mold handling workflow. Based on this, we designed a 64 ton double girder overhead crane with 22.5m span and 11m lifting height, precisely tailored to fit the space, lifting height, and operational requirements, ensuring safe and efficient mold handling.
Flexible and Cost-Effective Options: Understanding the client’s budget limitations, we proposed multiple configuration options that balanced performance and cost. By optimizing the crane design and offering flexible solutions, we provided the most efficient setup within the client’s financial plan.
Comprehensive Installation and After-Sales Support: To ease concerns about first-time international procurement, we provided clear installation guidance, on-site commissioning instructions, and long-term maintenance plans. This ensured the crane would operate smoothly from day one, giving the client full confidence in reliability and service support.
By addressing each challenge with a targeted solution, we were able to deliver a high-performance overhead crane that fully met the client’s needs while building trust for future collaboration.
The 64 ton overhead crane was successfully delivered and put into operation. Since then, it has been running smoothly, fully meeting the factory’s demanding requirements for heavy mold handling. Impressed by the crane’s reliable performance and our responsive after-sales support, the client later decided to purchase a second crane for the same workshop. This marked not just a repeat order, but the establishment of a long-term partnership built on trust.
As the client himself put it:
”The crane has been reliable and efficient from day one, greatly improving our mold handling process. We also appreciate the professional installation support and responsive service. This positive experience gave us the confidence to purchase a second crane and continue our cooperation.” – Nikolai, Senior Engineer
