As global infrastructure continues to evolve, the demand for efficient and reliable lifting solutions has never been greater. DQCRANES, a leading cranes and hoists manufacturer, recently successfully supported a small airport expansion project in Brazil by designing and supplying three sets of 10 ton single-girder
gantry cranes for handling and installing cement slabs.
Challenges of Modern Airport Construction
Airport expansion is a complex and demanding endeavor, requiring precise coordination, high-quality materials, and advanced equipment. In this case, the Brazilian airport project aimed to increase its capacity to accommodate growing passenger and cargo traffic. This required the construction of new terminals, runways, and supporting infrastructure, all of which relied heavily on the use of prefabricated cement slabs.
One of the primary challenges faced by the project team was the efficient handling and positioning of these heavy cement slabs. Each slab weighed several tons, making manual handling impossible and requiring specialized lifting equipment. Furthermore, the gantry rail cranes needed to operate in an outdoor environment while maintaining high levels of performance and safety.
DQCRANES was selected for this project due to its proven track record of delivering tailored crane solutions for infrastructure projects. After a thorough assessment of the project’s requirements, DQCRANES designed three sets of 10 ton
single girder gantry cranes specifically for lifting and transporting cement slabs.

- Robust Design for Heavy Lifting
The 10 ton capacity single girder gantry cranes were engineered to handle the weight and dimensions of the cement slabs with ease. The robust steel structure ensured durability and stability during operation, even under challenging conditions.
- Customization for Site Requirements
Each electric gantry crane was customized to meet the specific needs of the construction site. 1 set of 10 ton span 15m, lifting height 3m; 1 set of 10 ton span 12m, lifting height 3.85m; 1 set of 10 ton span 8m, lifting height 5m. Different 10 ton gantry
crane specifications to ensure optimal performance within the project’s spatial constraints.
- Weather-Resistant Construction
Since the gantry cranes were to be used outdoors, they were designed with weather-resistant materials and coatings to withstand Brazil’s varying climate conditions. This ensured reliable operation, even in high humidity or during sudden rain showers.
Safety was a top priority for this project. The cranes were equipped with advanced safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop systems, and anti-collision devices to protect both workers and equipment during operation.
The outdoor gantry cranes featured user-friendly pendent controls and remote controls, allowing operators to handle the cement slabs with precision and efficiency. This minimized downtime and maximized productivity on-site.
Gantry Crane Production
Exporting and Installation
Once the manufacturing process was completed, the 3 sets of 10 ton gantry cranes underwent rigorous testing to ensure they met performance and safety standards. The delivery process was meticulously planned to ensure timely arrival at the airport construction site in Brazil. DQCRANES coordinated with logistics partners to transport the equipment safely and efficiently.
DQCRANES provided an online installation guide to assist the project team. The guide included step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and videos to ensure a seamless installation process.
In addition, DQCRANES' technical support team was available to address any queries or challenges faced during installation. This remote assistance model proved to be highly effective, allowing the construction team to set up the cranes quickly and correctly without delays.
The online installation guide not only saved time but also reduced costs associated with on-site technical supervision. It demonstrated DQCRANES' commitment to providing comprehensive support throughout the project lifecycle.
Feedback from the Project Team
The feedback from the airport expansion project team in Brazil was overwhelmingly positive. The 10 ton single girder gantry cranes performed exceptionally well, meeting all operational requirements. The team praised the gantry hoist cranes for their reliability, ease of use, and efficiency in lifting heavy cement slabs.
The project managers highlighted the value of DQCRANES' online installation guide and technical support, which simplified the setup process and ensured the equipment was operational in record time. The durability and safety features of the cranes were also commended, as they contributed to a smooth and accident-free construction phase.
