(III) Communication and solution design

Since the customer submitted the inquiry on our electric chain hoist page, we designed a hoist solution for the customer according to the conventional travelling electric chain hoist, and did not know too much about the customer's specific operating conditions.

The client reviewed the initial hoist solution and gave feedback on the site drawings.

After communication, we understood the working conditions of the electric hoist. The gas generator is one of the products of the customer. When the generator is being repaired, an electric hoist is required to lift the intake bulkhead, but it is rarely used. The deadweight of the intake bulkhead is about 18 tons.

Change reqeust

The lifting height of 70m is more in line with the conditions of use. The type of chain hoist is also changed from travelling type to fixed type, and the quantity is changed to 2 sets. At the same time, two quotations of 25t and 30t are provided for customers to choose.

When the customer's technical team reviewed the plan, it was found that the diameter of the inner ring of the hook should be at least 130mm for the lifting hole on the intake bulkhead, and the standard 30t electric chain hoist hook did not meet the requirements. So, we decided to replace the hook head with a 50t one to meet the demand. The customer confirmed that he wanted two 30t electric chain hoists.

After the customer's technical team did the final review, we thought the customer would place the order. However, the customer revised the product requirements again. The hoist lifting capacity was changed from 30t to 40t, and we revised the solution again to match customer needs.

The next month is a long month. Because no matter how we contacted the customer, he had no news and feedback. Until the customer suddenly replied to replace the electric chain hoist with an electric wire rope hoist. Yes, electric chain hoist and electric wire rope hoist both can meet the customer's requirements. So, we have designed the electric wire rope hoist solution. After the customer team reviewed it again, the order was placed.

(IV) Conclusion

• When design the crane and hoist solution, we need to understand the specific working conditions of the customer and make targeted design.
• The solution may be revised repeatedly until the details exactly match the usage requirements.
• Do a good job in crane solutions and products, and create value recognized by customers.
