DQCRANES Exported 10 Ton Overhead Crane to Pakistan Steel Plant

Project Overview

1. Client: Steel Coil Manufacturing Plant, Karachi, Pakistan
2. Crane Type: Single Girder Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Crane
3. Capacity: 10 Tons
4. Span: 17 Meters
5. Lifting Height: 10 Meters
6. Standards Compliance: FEM Standards
7. Application: Handling steel coils in production and storage areas.

Client Requirements

The client, a leading steel coil processor in Pakistan, required a robust overhead crane to optimize material handling in their facility. Their existing infrastructure struggled with inefficiencies due to outdated equipment, leading to production delays and safety concerns. Key requirements included:
 

• Precision Handling: Safe transport of steel coils (5–10 tons) without deformation.
• Durability: Resilience to Pakistan’s harsh industrial environment (high temperatures, dust, humidity).
• Space Efficiency: Compact design to navigate narrow aisles in the plant.
• Compliance: Adherence to European safety and performance standards for long-term reliability.

10 Ton Overhead Crane Design - DQCRANES

Single Girder Design Advantages

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced structural weight compared to Double Girder Cranes, lowering manufacturing and shipping costs.
• Optimized Span: The 17m span was engineered using high-strength S355JR steel for the main girder, ensuring rigidity and minimal deflection (<1/700 of the span).
• Compact Profile: Ideal for facilities with height restrictions; the 10 ton coil handling crane fits seamlessly into the client’s existing layout.

Hoist & Trolley System

• wire rope hoist: 10-ton capacity, Class FEM 2m (medium-duty cycle), equipped with thermal protection and dual braking systems.
• Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): Enabled smooth acceleration/deceleration to prevent load sway during coil handling.
• Trolley Motion: Enduring wheels with hardened rims for reduced wear on rails.

Safety Systems

• Safety Systems: Overload protection, emergency stop buttons, limit switches, and IP54-rated electrical components (dust/water resistance).
• CE Certification: Full compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, including risk assessment documentation.

Custom Features for Steel Coil Handling

• C-Hook Attachment: Specially designed lifting hook to securely grip steel coils without slippage.
• Anti-Sway Technology: Advanced control system minimized lateral movement during transport.
• Corrosion Protection: Epoxy-painted components and galvanized wire ropes to withstand Karachi’s coastal climate.

Manufacturing & Quality Assurance

Production:

• Laser-cut steel components for precision.
• Automated welding (ISO 3834-certified processes) for girder assembly.
• Electrification with Siemens components (motors, contactors) for reliability.

Testing:

• 125% load test (12.5 tons) for 10 cycles.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) on welds.
• Functional tests for trolley, hoist, and runway motions.

Logistics & Installation

• Packaging: Components crated for sea freight to Karachi Port, with desiccant packs to prevent moisture damage.
• Assembly: DQCRANES engineers supervised installation, including runway alignment (tolerance ±3mm) and electrical integration.
• Training: Operators and maintenance staff received hands-on training, covering safety protocols and troubleshooting.

Project Outcomes

• Efficiency Gains: Reduced coil handling time by 40%, boosting daily production output.
• Safety Improvements: Zero incidents reported post-installation due to fail-safe mechanisms.
• Cost Savings: Energy-efficient motors cut power consumption by 15% versus the client’s old crane.
