3 Floor Mounted Jib Cranes for Workshops in Philippine

Find out how three of our cranes are used in workshops in the Philippines and discover how we offer customized solutions for different working conditions.

Customer Industry and Background

The client operates a manufacturing workshop in the Philippines specializing in the assembly of industrial components. This sector is highly demanding in terms of material handling, requiring robust equipment to lift and maneuver heavy parts such as metal frames, machined components, and assembly fixtures. With operations that span both small-scale production runs and larger batch processes, the workshop needed equipment that could adapt to varying loads and spatial constraints.

Operational Environment

The workshop is located in an urban industrial zone in the Philippines. The facility features limited floor space, making it essential to deploy equipment with a small footprint. Additionally, the environment includes tight workstations, different ceiling heights, and occasional exposure to outdoor elements due to intermittent loading and unloading operations.

Customer Needs and Challenges

The customer's primary need was a material handling solution capable of lifting heavy components with precision and safety in a confined workspace. Specific requirements included:

1. Load Handling Capacity: The equipment needed to manage various loads up to a preset capacity suitable for the workshop's operations.
2. Adaptability: The crane must operate effectively in a constrained indoor environment, where space is limited and clearances are minimal.
3. Safety and Reliability: Enhanced safety features were critical, given the potential risks associated with manual handling and outdated equipment.
4. Ease of Operation: The system should offer a straightforward user interface and reliable performance to reduce training time and operational errors.
5. Cost-Effectiveness: The customer was looking for a solution that would lower operating costs and maintenance downtime compared to previous equipment.

Challenges with Existing Equipment

Before adopting the floor mounted jib crane solution from Yuantai, the customer encountered several issues:

• Limited Flexibility: Existing cranes were not designed to operate in confined urban spaces or adapt to varied load conditions, thereby restricting operational efficiency.
• Safety Concerns: The lack of modern safety features led to higher risks of workplace injuries and equipment damage. This included issues with inaccurate load positioning and insufficient emergency controls.
• Inadequate Load Capacity: The older systems could not reliably handle the heavier components required for modern manufacturing processes, leading to inefficiencies and increased manual intervention.

These challenges prompted the customer to seek a more advanced, reliable, and safe lifting solution that could address the limitations of their previous equipment.

The Floor Mounted Jib Crane Solution

The 3 floor mounted jib cranes provided by Yuantai is engineered with specific parameters to meet the rigorous demands of industrial workshops. The key technical specifications include:

1. Lifting Capacity: Designed to handle predetermined load requirements for the workshop. We offer lifting capacities of 3 tons, 0.5 tons as well as 5 tons.
2. Footprint and Mounting: The floor mounted design is tailored for installations in confined spaces, ensuring minimal disruption to existing workflows. The crane is engineered to occupy minimal floor space, which is crucial in urban workshops where space is at a premium.
3. Rotation and Reach: The jib crane offers a wide operational radius, enabling 360-degree movement for precise load placement.
4. Control Systems: The crane supports both manual and remote operations. This dual-control approach enhances precision in load handling while ensuring ease of use.
5. Durability and Material Quality: Constructed with high-grade steel such as Q345B, the crane is designed for long-term reliability and resistance to wear, which is vital for continuous industrial operations.
6. Enhanced Safety Features: The system includes multiple safety mechanisms, such as overload sensors, emergency stop buttons, and secure locking systems. These features help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with industrial safety regulations.

These specifications were developed in accordance with international standards for industrial cranes, ensuring that the product delivers both operational efficiency and safety. The engineering behind the crane is grounded in rigorous testing and simulation. According to technical data provided by Yuantai, similar installations have achieved a reduction in operational downtime by up to 30% when compared to older material handling systems.

After finalizing the design, production commenced at Yuantai's manufacturing facility. The crane was fabricated using high-grade materials and underwent rigorous quality control tests before shipment. Upon delivery to the customer's workshop in the Philippines, our technical team managed the installation process with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Since our cranes are designed from the outset to minimize the installation process, the cranes are installed and operational in one day.
