Client Challenges: Matching Crane Loads with Steel Structure

A leading precision instrument processing and machinery maintenance company in Costa Rica, with 25 years of industry experience, encountered a key problem when designing their new plant: their steel structure design engineer could not determine the appropriate column and roof beam specifications without precise crane data. This gap made it impossible to ensure that the new overhead crane would match the building’s load-bearing requirements.

Our Solution: Custom-Designed 32-Ton Overhead Crane

The client reached out to us and provided detailed steel structure factory design drawings. Our engineering team carefully reviewed the building plans and, leveraging our extensive project experience, recommended a double girder overhead crane with the following specifications:

• Lifting capacity: 32 tons
• Span: 12 meters
• Lifting height: 10 meters
• Work duty: A5

We worked closely with the building design team to ensure the crane’s load data, wheel loads, and overall dimensions were seamlessly integrated into the structural design. This collaboration allowed the structural engineer to select the correct column and roof beam types, ensuring safety, stability, and optimal performance.

Project Outcome: Improved Efficiency and Larger Order Capacity

With the new 32-ton overhead crane installed, the client’s plant gained a significant boost in efficiency. For the client’s company, the crane not only improved the speed and safety of precision instrument processing but also enabled the business to take on larger and more complex orders. The result was increased production capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and a stronger competitive position in the market.

Aicrane Overhead Crane Solution For Costa Rica Customer Workshop

The Aicrane project consultant and engineers worked with the company to identify their specific needs and requirements.

After careful analysis, our crane engineers recommended an AQ-HD single girder overhead crane with a lifting capacity of 20 tons and a lifting height of 6m. The crane was designed to span the length of the workshop and was equipped with a European standard wire rope electric hoist for the horizontal movement of loads, as well as a three-in-one variable frequency motor to make the crane run more smoothly.

The crane was also fitted with various safety features, including an overload protection system, emergency stop buttons, etc., to ensure safe lifting operation.

Equipment Fabrication

The Aicrane production team fabricated the 20 ton overhead crane with high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity.

The main girder is made of Q235B high-quality carbon structural steel and the structural design of the box girder conforms to the European FEM standard. The main welds of the main girder are welded by a double-gun gantry welding machine, and the two welds are formed at one time, effectively controlling the welding deformation and ensuring the levelness of the main girder.

The end beam adopts a large floor boring machine for one-time overall processing and forming, which ensures the dimensional accuracy and fit tolerance of the end beam.

The wire rope electric hoist conforms to the FEM design standard, operates with frequency conversion speed regulation, so it has small impact, and can realize precise positioning.

Delivery of the 20 Ton Overhead Crane to Costa Rica

The Aicrane shipping and document team was responsible for booking containers, preparing and confirming customs clearance documents to ensure that the goods arrive at the customer’s destination port in time.

Installation of the 20 Ton Overhead Crane in Costa Rica

A team of experienced engineers and technicians hired by the client company undertook the installation and commissioning of the crane, and the Aicrane installation engineers provided online installation guidance to ensure that it met the required safety and performance standards.

Conclusion

The 20-ton overhead crane has greatly improved the company’s manufacturing processes. The crane provides efficient and safe movement of heavy loads, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and increasing productivity. The company has reported significant improvements in their manufacturing processes and a reduction in downtime and operating costs.

Aicrane can provide customized overhead crane solutions for material handling in workshops. The crane can be designed to meet the specific requirements of different industries to maximize the efficiency, safety and flexibility of material handling operations.

Customer Requirements

The Chilean client company is a mine services company with more than 14 years of experience dedicated to providing manufacturing services, repair of components and work both in workshops and in the field for mining and regional industry.

The company was expanding its operation area and capabilities, and the old simple shed couldn’t support a large overhead crane to lift the heavy crushing equipment, the work efficiency was not high and also the manual workload was very large. Therefore, a new steel structure workshop and a new large-tonnage overhead crane were then needed for a new operation area.

The overhead crane specifications included: double girder, 32 ton load capacity, 14m span and 10m lifting height. The overhead crane is used to lift the crushing equipment for maintenance.

02—

Our Solutions

For this project, the Aicrane engineers designed an AQ-NLH 32 ton double girder overhead crane and a steel structure workshop in the first version of the plan.

After learning that the customer planned to add another crane in the workshop, we immediately made a second version of the plan. Our engineers adjusted the size of the columns of the steel structure and the crane rail beams to ensure that the workshop structure was strong enough to support two overhead travelling cranes.

After the video conference with the Aicrane teams, the customer finally approved the second version of the plan, and purchased an AQ-NLH 32 ton overhead crane and the steel structure part of the workshop.

Uses of Aicrane AQ-YZ Metallurgical Overhead Crane

The metallurgical casting overhead crane is one of the main production equipments in the smelting workshop. The foundry crane is equipped with independent driving main and auxiliary trolleys. The main trolley is equipped with gantry hooks with fixed spacing to hoist the steel drums, and the auxiliary trolley can be used to turn the ladle or do other auxiliary lifting operations.

In the converter workshop, the casting overhead crane is used to pour the molten iron transported from the blast furnace workshop into the mixing furnace and directly pour the molten iron in the mixing furnace or the molten iron transported from the blast furnace workshop into the converter.

In the converter or open hearth workshop, the metallurgical overhead crane continuously casts molten steel in the steelmaking furnace or casts steel ingots.
