5 ton Electric Hoist for Australia Portable Gantry Crane
An Australian manufacturing company received a 5-ton portable gantry crane but found the manual chain blocks inadequate and needed a better lifting solution.
Danny, overseeing operations at an Australian manufacturing facility, required a lifting solution capable of handling 5-ton loads with a 4-meter span and a 3-meter lifting height. The initial setup included two 5-ton chain blocks; however, the manual operation proved inefficient for their high-frequency lifting tasks.
After Danny received his portable gantry crane, he found that chain block could not meet their needs. So, he found us and asked about the price of the single phase electric hoist.
Are you able to give me a price on 2 x 5 ton electric hoists in 240 volts to meet Australian standards please?
Thanks
Regards
Danny
After communication and confirmation with the customer, we provided the solution as below:
Hook type electric chain hoist
To address the efficiency concerns, we proposed two 5-ton hook-type electric chain hoists with the following specifications:
- Model: Hook type electric chain hoist
- Lifting capacity: 5 ton
- Lifting height: 3m
- Power supply: 240V 50Hz Single Phase
- Control method: Remote control (Two hoists can work at the same time, and can be controlled separately)
Upon reviewing the quotation, Danny expressed concern over the higher cost of the electric hoists compared to the initial manual setup. We explained that the single-phase electric hoists, while more expensive, offered significant advantages in terms of efficiency, safety, and compliance with Australian standards. To support his decision-making, we provided a comparative analysis of single-phase and three-phase options and offered a 5% discount as a goodwill gesture.
After thorough evaluation, Danny proceeded with the purchase of the single-phase electric hoists. The upgraded system significantly improved their lifting operations, reducing manual effort and increasing productivity. Danny expressed satisfaction with the solution.
