Overhead travelling cranes for Australian agricultural equipment plant - 6.3 ton + 6.3 ton European overhead crane,not cheap price but cost-effective.
Why 6.3 ton +6.3 ton box girder overhead crane is selected but not 51% cheaper LD type 5 ton + 5ton single girder overhead crane by Australian agricultural plant?Custom designed overhead travelling crane solution will benefit you for the long run. Read on how the Australian client get their overhead travelling crane.
The client is an agricultural equipment manufacturer based in Brisbane, Australia, that specializes in grain crop harvesting and distribution. On May 15, the client found us through a Google search and submitted us his requirements and specifications.
An Australian agricultural equipment manufacturer has ordered a 5+ 5 ton single girder overhead crane. The Australian client intends to extend the shed and install two sets of overhead cranes in the new shed, and they initially contacted us with the following overhead crane inquiry:
"We would like to know your price and availability on crane with the following specs:

The Australian client intends to extend the shed and add two sets of overhead cranes in the new shed, with speedy turnaround being a major consideration. Dora, one of our top salespeople, did not rush to provide the price requested in the original inquiry after receiving it. She put in time and effort into conducting a background check and communicating with the client in order to gain a deeper understanding of the customer's company needs. Let's have a look at what Dora did:
Dora called the agricultural equipment plant to speak with their engineer about the workshop application after examining the box girder overhead crane inquiry. The client provided a photo of the current shed, as well as machines and a shed extension design. The following are the photographs and drawings that were emailed to her:

Two sets of classic type 5 ton + 5 ton single girder overhead cranes (EOT cranes) traveling in the same span of the shed are the basic needs, and the box girder overhead travelling crane specifications are as follows.
Based on the manufacturing line and company needs in the next 3-5 years, we recommend two sets of European-spec 6.3 ton + 6.3 ton single girder EOT cranes traveling in different spans. Because certain equipment are as long as 18 meters, each EOT box girder overhead travelling crane has two lifting points. When lifting long-sized equipment, two lifting points can work independently and concurrently, providing flexibility while also ensuring safety and stability. In terms of control, one remote may operate two lifting points, lifting them both separately and concurrently.
We looked into every element in order to remedy the material handling issue. We can assist you in determining the most appropriate crane option with our technical assistance.
The client encountered a selection problem with the overhead box girder overhead travelling crane rails during the communication. This is how we determine which overhead crane rail is best for him.

For the rails, do you prefer the type of square steel 50*30mm (picture below)?
If this type, as the rated capacity of the crane is bigger now, rails will be 60*40mm.
The rails need to be welded with bearing beams.
It's better that our factory does the welding, when you receive the rails, they are already connected with bearing beams.
Otherwise, you will need to arrange welders to do the extra welding after you receive them.
If the rails do not necessarily have to be square type, actually we recommend P type rails (take P30 as an example, picture below).
P30 can either be welded to bearing beams, or use bolted clamps and platens to connect.
According to our understanding of AU standard, bolted clamps and platens are better.
To compare these two rails, the advantage of square steel is it's cheaper (about 30% cheaper than P type).
Its disadvantage is wheels of end carriages will be easily wear off because of the square corners.
That's why square steel is now becoming less prevalent than P type when choosing rails.
When you look at P type rail, you can see the corners are round-shaped, and the round corners are to protect wheels when running.
In the long run, we recommend P type rails.
Please let me know which you prefer and I will include it in revised quotation. Thanks!
Regards,
Dora

Hi Dora,
We are happy to go with 2x 106m of the P30 type.
Any welding required, we will do here.
