Overhead Cranes for Mining Industry
Overhead cranes are indispensable in mining, facilitating mine extraction, loading onto trucks or conveyors, and maintenance of mining equipment. These cranes are installed on sturdy steel structures, allowing them to traverse the entire length of the mining area. Our overhead cranes in mining come in various configurations, such as single girder and double girder, each designed to handle different capacities.

Key Features of Overhead Cranes in Mining:
- High lifting capacities: Overhead cranes are capable of lifting heavy loads, including machinery and raw materials, contributing to efficient mining operations.
- Precise control: Advanced control systems enable operators to maneuver loads with precision, ensuring safety and minimizing the risk of accidents.
- Adaptability: Overhead cranes can be customized to suit the specific needs of mining operations, enhancing flexibility in material handling.
Case: A 32 Ton Overhead Crane for Enhancing Mining Operations in Chile
In response to a mining services company’s need for a robust overhead crane in Chile, we proposed a practical solution. The client required a 32-ton double girder overhead crane for lifting and repairing crushing equipment. Due to limitations in the existing shed, it necessitated removal and expansion.
Our team offered an AQ-NLH 32-ton overhead crane with a 14-meter span, 10-meter lifting height, and A5 work duty classification. Additionally, a newly designed steel structure shed was provided to withstand the crane’s weight. The crane’s features met the client’s requirements for efficient material handling, and the upgraded facility is capable of lifting and maintaining large-tonnage crushing equipment, contributing to improved productivity and reduced downtime.


Gantry Cranes for Mining Industry
Gantry cranes are another essential component in the mining industry, offering a versatile solution for lifting and transporting materials across various locations within a mining site. They can load and unload bulk materials like coal, ore, and minerals from trucks, trains or rail cars, ensuring a smooth flow of operations. Gantry cranes are also instrumental in the maintenance of mining equipment, lifting and positioning heavy machinery for repairs or inspections.

Key Features of Gantry Cranes in Mining:
- Mobility: Gantry cranes can be designed to be mobile and moved to different locations within the mining site, providing flexibility in handling materials at various stages of the mining process.
- Heavy-duty capabilities: Our gantry cranes are designed to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for lifting equipment and components used in mine extraction and processing.
- Cost-effectiveness: The adaptability and mobility of gantry cranes contribute to cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for multiple fixed lifting systems.
Mining Winches for Mining Industry
Mining winches play a crucial role in mining, providing the pulling power needed to transport materials and equipment in and out of mineshafts. These winches are designed to withstand harsh conditions and are equipped with features that ensure reliability and safety. Our winches for mining come in various configurations, such as single drum and double drum.



Key Features of Mining Winches in Mining Operations:
- Robust construction: Mining winches are built to withstand the challenging environment of mines, including exposure to dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- Variable speed control: Advanced winch systems offer variable speed control, allowing operators to adjust the pulling power according to specific requirements.
- Safety mechanisms: Mining winches are equipped with safety features such as emergency braking systems, overload protection, and fail-safe controls to enhance operational safety.
Case: 3 Ton Mining Winch For A Colombia Client
In response to a client’s mining needs in Colombia, we supplied a single drum 3-ton mining winch, with a drum capacity of 400 meters. This tailored solution addresses the specific requirements of mining operations, offering efficient material handling and lifting capabilities. The winch’s compact design ensures adaptability to the challenging mining environment, contributing to streamlined processes.


Our Custom Lifting Equipment Design for Efficient Mining Operations
We have a team of engineers specializing in providing practical and custom lifting and material handling equipment design tailored to the specific needs of mining operations. Our project consultants and engineers work closely with clients to assess their unique requirements and operational constraints. Our goal is to tailor solutions that align with the specific challenges of each project, whether it involves underground mining or surface operations.

Here is an example of a design for a double girder grab overhead crane specifically created for mining operations. The crane has a span of 32 meters, a lifting height of 22 meters, and operates with a work duty classification of A7.
Common Uses of Lifting Equipment in Mining
Lifting equipment plays a crucial role in the mining industry, contributing to various aspects of operations to enhance efficiency, safety, and productivity. Here are some common uses of lifting equipment in the mining industry:
- Material Handling and Transportation: Lifting equipment such as cranes, hoists, and winches are utilized for the movement of heavy materials and equipment within mining sites. Cranes with grab attachments are often used to lift bulk materials like coal, ore, and minerals, facilitating efficient transportation and loading processes.
- Maintenance and Repairs: Lifting equipment is essential for maintenance and repair activities. It aids in lifting heavy components, machinery, and parts for inspection, repair, or replacement.
- Shaft and Underground Mining: In underground mining, specialized lifting equipment is used for transporting materials and equipment through shafts. This includes personnel cages, skips, and elevators.
- Installation of Mining Equipment: Lifting equipment is employed during the installation of large mining equipment, such as crushers, conveyors, and processing machinery, ensuring precise and safe positioning.
- Construction of Mining Infrastructure: Lifting equipment is involved in the construction of mining infrastructure, including the erection of steel structures, buildings, and other essential facilities.
