08 Jan, 2025
At DQCRANES, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative lifting solutions tailored to meet the unique requirements of our clients across the globe. Recently, we successfully designed, manufactured, and exported a 5 ton mobile gantry crane to a manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia. This custom-built crane, featuring an electric moving system and an electric chain hoist, was engineered to enhance operational efficiency and meet the client's specific lifting needs.  

Client’s Requirements  

The client, a medium manufacturing company in Saudi Arabia, approached DQCRANES through our website with the need for a versatile and efficient lifting solution. The facility required a mobile gantry crane capable of handling loads up to 5 tons, with precise specifications for span and lifting height.

Key requirements included:  
  1. Load Capacity: 5 tons  
  2. Span: 5 meters  
  3. Lifting Height: 2.3 meters 
  4. Mobility: This could be easily moved across their facility.
  5. Operation Type: Initially, the client requested a manual gantry crane for simplicity and cost-efficiency.
  6. Durability: Designed to withstand the demanding conditions of an industrial environment.

While the client initially requested a manual moving type, we recommended the electric gantry crane for several reasons:
  • Efficiency: Electric mobility significantly reduces the time and effort required to move the crane.
  • Precision: Electric controls allow for smoother and more accurate positioning.
  • Safety: Electric systems minimize manual handling, reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
  • Future-Proofing: As the client's operations grow, an electric system offers scalability and adaptability.

We presented the client with detailed technical drawings, performance metrics, and cost-benefit analyses to demonstrate why this solution would be more advantageous in the long term.
