Project Overview
Our company successfully exported a 20-ton MG double-girder gantry crane to a leading heavy machinery manufacturer in Lodz, Poland. The client specializes in producing large components for mining and engineering equipment and has extremely stringent requirements for the precision, reliability, and safety of their internal logistics. This successful delivery marks the formal entry of our high-end lifting equipment into the core industrial zone of the European Union, earning the trust of European clients with exceptional quality.
Client Requirements
1.High-Precision & Heavy-Duty Operations: For handling large, high-value precision machined parts (e.g., large gearboxes, slewing rings), requiring smooth operation, precise positioning (millimeter-level), and absolutely avoiding sway or impact.
2.Compliance with Stringent EU Standards: The equipment must fully comply with the EU Machinery Directive (MD), CE certification, and local safety regulations. All documentation, markings, and electrical systems must be compliant.
3.Adaptation to Temperate Climate & Indoor Operation: The workshop environment demands equipment that balances durability with cleanliness. Motor protection ratings must suit indoor conditions ranging from cold winters to mild summers in Eastern Europe.
4.Energy Efficiency & Smart Features: The client focuses on long-term operational costs, requiring cranes with high energy efficiency and low maintenance. They also desired integrated data interfaces to allow for future smart factory upgrades.
Our Solutions
1.Precision Design & Premium Configuration:
•Utilized Finite Element Analysis to optimize the main girder structure, ensuring mid-span deflection under rated load is far superior to national standards, achieving “rock-solid” load handling.
•Implemented full-range variable frequency drive systems from top international brands (Siemens/ABB) for hoisting, long travel, and cross travel, enabling seamless stepless speed control for exceptionally smooth starting, stopping, and movement.
2.Full Compliance & Safety First:
•The entire process followed CE certification requirements for design, manufacturing, and testing, providing a full set of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and Technical Construction File (TCF).
•Equipped with dual braking systems, independent overload protection, anti-collision system (client interface reserved), and emergency stop buttons, building multiple layers of safety protection.
3.Energy-Saving & Smart Forward-Looking Design:
•Employed regenerative braking frequency inverters that feed energy back to the grid during lowering, significantly reducing power consumption.
•The electrical control system is pre-equipped with Ethernet and industrial bus interfaces, capable of outputting data such as running time, load spectrum, and fault logs, supporting the client in equipment health management and predictive maintenance.
4.Professional Localized Support:
•Partnered with an authorized technical service provider in Poland to offer rapid-response installation guidance, commissioning, and long-term maintenance support, eliminating the client’s concerns.
Client Feedback
“Integrating this China-made crane was a crucial step in our production line upgrade. Initially, we had some reservations about equipment from Asia, but the professionalism and rigor demonstrated by your team completely dispelled our concerns. From the technical communication on CE certification details to the excellent practical performance of the equipment, every step was impressive. Its precision and stability fully meet our requirements for handling precision components, and its energy consumption is even lower than we expected. This was a perfect collaboration!”
Project Achievements
Successful Entry into the EU Market: The first unit successfully commissioned in Poland with CE certification, serving as a “beachhead” project for our expansion into the high-end European market.
Dual Improvement in Productivity & Safety: The client’s internal transfer efficiency for critical components increased by 30%, and product damage risk during handling dropped to zero due to stable operation, ensuring better quality.
Deep Client Recognition: Based on the outstanding performance of the first crane, the client has listed our factory in their global supplier system and is engaged in in-depth discussions for crane requirements in their second-phase expansion project.
Significant Demonstrative Effect: This project has become a showcase for our company in Europe, successfully attracting attention and inquiries from several manufacturers in neighboring countries like Germany and the Czech Republic.
