In March of this year, a client from the Dominican Republic inquired about a 10-ton single-girder gantry crane through our website. The client planned to build a new precast beam production plant, and the equipment would primarily be used for lifting and transporting precast beams, requiring high stability, operating distance, and adaptability of the lifting equipment.
Upon receiving the inquiry, we immediately contacted the client via email to understand the project background and usage requirements. After several rounds of communication, the client clearly stated:
– The project will utilize two single-girder gantry cranes for lifting operations
– Span: 12 meters
– Lifting height: 6 meters
– Operating distance: approximately 120 meters
– The object being lifted is precast concrete beams, requiring high synchronization and operational stability of the equipment.
Based on this information, our technical team tailored a single-girder gantry crane solution specifically for the precast beam production process, optimizing the structural design, operation mode, and safety configuration. Upon receiving the solution, the client clearly indicated that it perfectly met their actual production needs and gave positive feedback on our professionalism.
In April, based on the confirmed solution, we formally sent a detailed quotation to the client, including equipment configuration specifications, technical parameters, and delivery timeline. However, for a period after the quotation was sent, the client did not respond to emails. Despite this, we did not abandon the project but maintained continuous yet non-intrusive follow-up communication, regularly expressing our support.
Finally, in June, the client replied, explaining that the project had been suspended for a period due to internal reasons but had now restarted. Upon learning this, we responded quickly, updating the technical solution and quotation based on the current raw material and production situation, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Simultaneously, we went beyond the quotation itself, further introducing the client to our overall presence in the Latin American market, including:
– Our participation plans in Latin American trade shows that year
– Our ongoing plans to establish a Latin American office
– Case studies of previously successfully delivered projects, factory production status, and shipping records
This supplementary information effectively enhanced the client’s confidence in our long-term service capabilities and local market support. After comprehensively evaluating the suitability of the solution, price, delivery capabilities, and after-sales service guarantees, the client ultimately confirmed the order, and the project was successfully completed. This collaboration, from the initial inquiry to the final order, involved project pauses and restarts. However, it was precisely through continuous professional technical support and patient follow-up that we successfully won the client’s approval, laying a solid foundation for future project cooperation in the Caribbean and Latin America.
About Single-Girder Gantry Cranes
Single-girder gantry cranes are structurally sound, cost-effective, and highly efficient lifting equipment widely used in precast component plants, storage yards, warehouses, and outdoor production areas. Their lightweight structure results in relatively low manufacturing and maintenance costs, while possessing excellent load-bearing capacity and operational stability. Single-girder gantry cranes can be flexibly designed with span, lifting height, and travel distance according to site requirements, making them particularly suitable for medium-tonnage, long-stroke material handling operations. In precast beam production, single-girder gantry cranes, with their stable operation and reliable performance, effectively improve lifting efficiency and ensure production continuity, making them a highly cost-effective lifting solution for many engineering projects.
Features
♦Compact Single Girder Structure: The single girder design offers a compact and space-efficient solution, making the crane suitable for both indoor workshops and outdoor yards where installation space is limited.
♦Flexible Hoist Configuration: The single girder gantry crane equipped with one or two electric wire rope hoists, available in CD (single speed) or MD (double speed) options. Euro-style hoists can be selected for higher duty cycles and more demanding lifting applications.
♦High-Strength Steel Construction: Manufactured from Q235B structural steel as standard, with Q355B steel available for enhanced strength, improved rigidity, and extended service life.
♦Comprehensive Safety Protection: Integrated safety devices include overload protection, upper and lower limit switches, and emergency stop systems to ensure safe and reliable operation.
♦Easy Maintenance Design: User-friendly access to key components minimizes maintenance time, reduces downtime, and lowers overall operating costs.
♦Highly Customizable: The single girder gantry crane can be customized. Span, lifting capacity, and hoist configuration can be customized. A low headroom design is available for sites with restricted vertical clearance.
