Cost-Effective 5 Ton Overhead Crane for Serbia - Serbia Crane Supplier

Serbian Market Demands For overhead cranes

Manufacturing & Automotive

• Serbia’s automotive sector, including plants like Fiat Chrysler in Kragujevac, drives demand for heavy-duty overhead cranes for assembly lines and component handling. 
• General manufacturing industries (machinery, equipment production) also rely on cranes for material handling.

Steel & Metal Processing

• Steel mills and metal fabrication plants require high-capacity cranes (e.g., double girder cranes) for handling raw materials and finished products.

Energy & Infrastructure

• Power plants (thermal, hydro, and renewable energy projects) use cranes for turbine installation and maintenance.
• Infrastructure projects (e.g., highways, railways) and EU-funded initiatives boost demand for construction cranes.

Logistics & Warehousing

• Growth in e-commerce and logistics hubs near Belgrade and Novi Sad increases the demand for warehouse cranes (e.g., single girder cranes).
• River ports on the Danube (e.g., Belgrade Port) utilize cranes for cargo handling.

Mining & Heavy Machinery

• Copper mines (e.g., Bor, Majdanpek) and machinery manufacturers require rugged brdige cranes for heavy-load applications.

Automation & Smart Technology

• Rising interest in automated Electric Overhead Travel (EOT) cranes with IoT sensors and remote monitoring.
• Energy Efficiency: Demand for cranes with regenerative drives and lower energy consumption.
• Customization: Industry-specific requirements (e.g., explosion-proof cranes for hazardous environments).

At DQCRANES, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality lifting solutions tailored to the specific needs of our customers across the globe. Recently, we successfully supplied and exported a 5 ton single girder overhead crane to a prominent machinery manufacturer in Serbia. This project exemplifies our commitment to precision engineering, adherence to European standards, and customer-centric service.

Project Overview

1. Client: "Balkan Machinery Works", a leading machinery manufacturer in Belgrade, Serbia, specializing in industrial equipment production.
2. Objective: Replace an outdated crane system to enhance production efficiency and safety in their 5,000 sqm assembly hall.
3. Solution: DQCRANES designed, manufactured, and exported a 5 ton electric single beam crane compliant with European standards (HD type), tailored for precision handling in a high-activity manufacturing environment.

Overhead crane specifications

1. Crane Type: Single girder overhead crane (European standard HD model)
2. Capacity: 5 tons
3. Span: 24 meters
4. Lifting Height: 7.4 meters
5. Lifting Speed: 0.8–5 m/min (variable frequency control for precision)
6. Travel Speed: 2-20 m/min (cross-travel), 2-20 m/min (long-travel)
7. Duty Class: FEM 2m (Heavy Duty) – Suitable for frequent operation (6–10 lifts/hour)
8. Control System: Pendant + wireless remote control
9. Safety Features: Overload protection, limit switches, emergency stop, and IP54-rated components for dust resistance.

Client Challenges

• Outdated Infrastructure: The existing Soviet-era crane caused frequent downtime and safety risks.
• Space Constraints: The 24m span required a lightweight yet robust design to fit the facility’s structural limits.
• Precision Handling: Variable speed control was critical for assembling delicate machinery components.

5 ton overhead crane Solution

Custom Design:

• Optimized single girder structure with European-grade steel to reduce weight while maintaining strength.
• CAD simulations ensured seamless integration with the facility’s runway beams.

Compliance & Safety:

• Certified to EN and FEM standards.
• Equipped with Siemens frequency converters for smooth speed transitions and anti-sway technology.

Cost-Effective Delivery:

• Leveraged DQCRANES’ global supply chain to offer competitive pricing vs. European brands.
• Partnered with a Serbian regular customer for cost-efficient installation and training.

After-Sales Support:

• 24/7 remote monitoring and a 1-year warranty with spare parts stocked for fast delivery.

Manufacturing Process

Delivery and Installation

• The 5 ton bridge crane was shipped to Serbia in secure packaging to prevent any damage during transit.
• DQCRANES engineers conducted a 3-day remote assessment to verify the runway alignment and electrical infrastructure.
• Local technicians supervised by DQCRANES completed installation in 10 days, minimizing production disruption.

Testing & Training

• 125% load testing (6.25 tons) for safety verification.
• Operators trained on pendant/remote controls and maintenance protocols.

Results & Impact

1. Space Optimization: The compact design has optimized space utilization within their facility, allowing for smoother workflows.
2. Cost Efficiency: Reduced component transfer time by 40%, enabling faster order fulfillment.
3. Enhanced Safety: Eliminated manual lifting risks; zero incidents reported post-installation until now.
4. ROI: Achieved payback within 14 months via reduced downtime and energy savings (15% lower consumption vs. the old crane).
