5 Ton Mobile Gantry Crane Sold to Australia

A customer from Australia contacted us to supply them with a crane. According to the client, they are a medium-sized building construction company.They contacted us through a recommendation from a friend.After browsing the product pages, technical parameters and past export cases of many of our mobile gantry cranes, he submitted a detailed procurement inquiry through the online inquiry form on the website.

Customer's lifting needs

The core needs of the client are clear:

1. Load Requirements: Need to safely lift 5 tons of heavy loads, mainly including prefabricated concrete components, steel beams, small generators and heavy formwork for on-site construction.
2. Mobility Requirements: Due to the irregularity of the project site, they needed a gantry crane that could be dismantled and transferred at any time, and be able to be pushed by 2-3 workers to move between different work areas.
3. Space Adaptation: The narrow access to the construction site required a moderate crane span (a 3-meter span was selected) and a lifting height of up to 5 meters in order to lift the components to the second floor slabs or truck cars.
4. Easy to Operate: Workers on site are mostly deployed on an ad hoc basis, so they need equipment that is quick to get started and does not require complex installation.

Challenges in a client lifting environment

In actual communications and site surveys, we have learned that the following are the main challenges in our clients' project environments:

1. Complex ground conditions and predominance of unhardened sites

Some of the client's building projects are located in suburban or developing areas where the ground is often compacted gravel, sandy soil or even grass. Ordinary gantry cranes with small wheels are difficult to push on these surfaces and tend to get stuck. Our solution: we equipped our customers with wide rubber wheels to increase the grounding area and prevent sagging.

2. Site space constraints preventing access by large cranes

The client's projects are often carried out in residential extensions or within narrow construction sites where large car cranes or crawler cranes cannot drive in or turn around. In contrast, stationary travelers require the installation of rails and support structures, which are also costly to install. A gantry crane that can pass through doorways after dismantling and can be moved around the interior of the building can meet their needs. Our 5-ton gantry uses bolted main beams and outriggers, and the heaviest parts are no more than 150 kg after disassembly, so two workers can carry and assemble them.

3. Strict security norms requiring proof of compliance

Australia has very strict safety regulations for lifting equipment. The customer explicitly requested that the equipment must be provided with a load test report, overload protection and an emergency stop function. We not only provide CE certification, but also additionally commissioned a third party to conduct a 1.25 times dynamic load and 1.5 times static load test in accordance with Australian standards, and issued an English version of the test certificate.
