10T Single Girder Bridge Crane for Building Material Store

Discover how a 10-ton LD single girder overhead crane improved operations in a building materials store. Explore the challenges, solutions, and benefits in this case study.

Efficient material handling is crucial in the building materials industry, where the movement of heavy and bulky items is a daily requirement. This case study examines the integration of a 10-ton LD Single Girder Overhead Crane into a building materials store, highlighting the challenges faced, solutions implemented, and the resulting benefits.

Industry Overview

The building materials sector encompasses businesses involved in the production, distribution, and sale of materials used in construction. These materials include cement, steel, lumber, and other essential components. Efficient storage and handling systems are vital to maintain workflow and ensure timely delivery to customers.

Customer's Needs and Challenges

The building materials store faced several challenges:

• Handling Heavy Loads: Regular movement of heavy materials such as steel beams and concrete blocks required a robust lifting solution.
• Space Constraints: Limited floor space necessitated a lifting system that maximized vertical storage without occupying valuable ground area.
• Operational Efficiency: The need to streamline loading and unloading processes to reduce manual labor and increase throughput.

Previous Limitations

Prior to implementing the bridge crane, the store relied on forklifts and manual labor for material handling. This approach had several drawbacks:

• Safety Concerns: Increased risk of accidents and injuries due to manual handling of heavy items.
• Limited Reach: Forklifts were unable to effectively utilize vertical storage space, leading to inefficient use of the facility's height.
• Operational Delays: Manual processes resulted in slower loading and unloading times, affecting overall productivity.

Solution: 10-Ton LD Single Girder Overhead Crane

To address these challenges, the store opted for the installation of a 10-ton LD Single Girder Overhead Crane. This crane was chosen for its suitability in handling heavy loads within confined spaces. Key specifications included:

• Lifting Capacity: 10 tons
• Span Length: 19 meters
• Lifting Height: 8 meters
• Working Class: A3

These parameters ensured that the crane could meet the store's specific material handling requirements.

Implementation Process

The installation process involved several critical steps:

• Site Assessment: Evaluated the structural integrity of the building to support the crane system.
• Design Customization: Tailored the crane's dimensions and features to align with the store's layout and operational needs.
• Installation: Assembled the crane components, including the main girder, end trucks, and electric hoist, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
• Testing and Commissioning: Conducted load tests and operational trials to verify performance and safety before full-scale deployment.

Customer Feedback

The customer installed and tried the crane immediately after receiving it and everything met expectations. As a result the crane was quickly put into operation and is running very well.
