Client Project: Industrial Pump And Valve Manufacturing in Chile

Our client is a well-established and highly respected company based in Santiago, Chile, specializing in the manufacturing of industrial pumps, valves, and the provision of related services. Founded in the 1960s, the company has grown to become a leading player in the industry, known for its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Despite their long-standing success, the company recently faced serious challenges related to internal material handling – specifically in transporting heavy industrial pump and valve components throughout their facility.

The Challenge: Costly, Inflexible, and Outdated Pump Handling Methods

Historically, the client depended on truck mounted cranes to move heavy components. While this setup met basic requirements, it introduced several persistent issues:

• High rental costs for each operation, significantly increasing operational expenses.
• Limited operational flexibility, as vehicle-mounted cranes were restricted in their movement and range.
• As the company scaled operations, these inefficiencies began to affect productivity, slow down workflows, and erode cost margins.

The Chilean Client’s Goals for Industrial Pump & Valve Handling

To address these concerns, the client sought a long-term solution that would:

• Implement a cost-effective, long-term lifting solution to reduce reliance on equipment rental.
• Expand the working range beyond what traditional cranes could offer, and also ensure easy mobility of the crane within their facility for more dynamic operations.
• Increase lifting efficiency while maintaining high safety standards.

With these goals in mind, the client approached us for a solution that could align with their vision of operational optimization and future growth.

Our Solution: A Custom-Engineered 50 Ton Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane

After conducting an in-depth analysis of the client’s needs, facility layout, and operational challenges, we proposed a custom-designed rubber tyred gantry crane specifically tailored for the transportation and lifting of industrial pumps, valves, and other heavy components.

The selected crane and configuration addressed every major concern:

• By replacing repeated rentals with a single, long-term investment, the client significantly reduced handling costs while gaining a dependable and durable lifting solution.
• This mobile gantry crane offers outstanding lifting performance while allowing operators to move materials safely and efficiently across different zones in the facility – something that was previously difficult with fixed or vehicle-mounted equipment.
• The rubber tyred design also ensures quick repositioning, minimizing downtime and boosting overall flexibility and efficiency in day-to-day operations.

Key specifications of the 50 ton RTG gantry crane:

• Type: Double beam
• Span: 10.7 meters
• Lifting height: 10 meters
• Mobility: Equipped with rubber tyres for easy transfer between work areas
• Steering mode: Straight movement, 90-degree lateral movement, oblique movement, pivot steering, forward swing and retral swing.

Positive Outcomes for The Client’s Operations

Since the deployment of the 50 ton RTG crane, the client has experienced remarkable improvements across several operational metrics:

• Reduced Operational Costs: By eliminating the need for frequent crane rentals, the client has realized considerable cost savings.
• Greater Flexibility: The mobile design allows for seamless transitions between different sections of the plant, optimizing workflow and reducing delays.
• Enhanced Production Capacity: With improved lifting efficiency and coverage, the crane has helped increase throughput in the manufacturing process.
• Improved Safety: The stable and modern lifting system significantly reduced the risk of accidents compared to traditional lifting methods.

As the client put it:

‘‘This RTG crane changed the way we handle our core products. It gave us the flexibility and control we needed, and it’s already proving to be a valuable long-term asset.’’

This project is a clear example of how our custom rubber tyred gantry crane can transform outdated material handling methods into a flexible, cost-effective, and scalable solution. By aligning crane solutions with specific operational goals, we helped our client in Chile streamline operations, reduce costs, and prepare for future growth – one lift at a time.
