Industry-Specific Needs

Argentina’s economy relies on industries with heavy material-handling demands:
  • Agriculture & Food Processing: Cranes for grain silos, sugar mills, and meatpacking plants.
  • Mining & Energy: Lithium, copper, and shale oil/gas extraction (e.g., Vaca Muerta).
  • Steel & Automotive: Steel mills (e.g., Ternium) and auto plants (e.g., Toyota, Ford in Zárate).
  • Ports & Logistics: Buenos Aires and Rosario ports require container gantry cranes.

Crane Requirements
  • Mining/Energy: Explosion-proof cranes (ATEX standards) and corrosion-resistant designs.
  • Agriculture: Dust-proof cranes with grabs or buckets for bulk materials.
  • Steel Mills: double girder cranes (30–150 tons) with heat-resistant components.
  • Ports: Heavy-duty rubber-tired gantry (RTG) or rail-mounted (RMG) cranes.

Customization for Local Preferences

Attachments:
  • Grabs for grain, clamps for steel pipes, spreaders for containers.
  • Optional electromagnets for scrap handling in recycling plants.

Control Systems:
  • Spanish-language interfaces and manuals (Optional).
  • Wireless remote controls for hazardous zones (e.g., oil refineries).

After-Sales Support & Logistics
  • Spare Parts: Stock critical components (brakes, wire ropes) are sufficient and can be shipped promptly for replacement.
  • Training: Offer English/Spanish-language training for operators and maintenance teams.

Client's Needs
  • Crane Type: Single girder EOT crane
  • Lifting Capacity: 5 tons and 10 tons
  • Compliance: European standards design
  • Efficient and safe handling of steel pipes
  • Durable and reliable crane operation in a demanding industrial environment

Challenges
  • Specific Dimensional Requirements: The single girder cranes needed to fit precisely within the plant's existing structure (24.9m span).
  • Varying Lifting Heights: The client required two cranes with slightly different lifting heights (6.98m and 7.175m) to accommodate specific operational needs within the plant.
  • Heavy and Awkward Loads: Steel pipes are heavy and can be unwieldy, requiring cranes with precise control and stability.
  • Industrial Environment: Steel pipe plants can be harsh environments with dust, temperature variations, and continuous operation, demanding robust and reliable equipment.
  • European Standards Compliance: The electric overhead cranes had to be designed and manufactured to meet stringent European standards for safety and performance.

Both FEM standards overhead cranes were designed with a span of 24.9 meters. The lifting heights were 6.98 meters and 7.175 meters, respectively, to suit the plant's operational requirements. The overhead cranes for sale in Argentina were engineered to operate with lifting speeds of 0.8-5.0 m/min and traveling speeds of 2.0-20 m/min, providing efficient material handling capabilities.

fem cranes Design Features

fem standards single girder overhead crane design features
  1. Single girder crane designs are suitable for medium-duty applications and offer a cost-effective solution.
  2. With optimized design and low headroom, the crane height is greatly reduced to achieve a higher lifting height under the same plant height.
  3. With low wheel pressure, the crane height is greatly reduced, to achieve greater lifting capacity under the same strength of workshop.
  4. The FEM standards bridge crane is controlled by Three-In-One mechanism with frequency conversion, to reduce the equipment noise, for the smooth and precise movement of steel pipes. 
  5. Overload limiter, height limiter, Stroke limiter, Emergency stop buttons, photoelectric limiter, Anti-collision devices, and other security measures are equipped according to different working conditions.
  6. A customized bridge crane with a different span and lifting height can be produced.
  7. Durable Paint System: A robust paint system was applied to protect the crane structure from the corrosive environment of a steel pipe plant.
  8. User-friendly pendant or radio controls for safe and efficient crane operation.
