Explosion Proof Overhead Crane for Pakistan | FAT Video

Project Introduction on Explosion Proof Overhead Crane Kit for Pakistan | Factory Acceptance Test

This video shows the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of explosion proof overhead crane kits for a Pakistan industrial project.

Before shipment, the customer visited the Yuantai Crane factory in China. They checked the crane components, tested the operation, and reviewed the technical documents.

The project includes several types of explosion proof crane equipment:

• Explosion proof single girder overhead crane kits
• Explosion proof double girder overhead crane kits
• Explosion proof suspension crane kits
• Explosion proof underhung crane kits

The customer did not purchase complete bridge cranes. Instead, they chose a crane kit solution without main girder and end carriage steel structures.

This helped reduce shipping volume and allowed local steel fabrication in Pakistan.

Project Background

The customer needed several cranes for an industrial facility in Pakistan.

The first inquiry came on July 30, 2024.

After technical discussions, drawing confirmation, and specification review, the order was placed on May 31, 2025.

Before delivery, the customer arranged a factory visit on May 28, 2025 for the FAT inspection.

During the inspection, the customer checked:

• Explosion proof motors
• Electrical control system
• Hoisting operation
• Crane travelling system
• Mechanical assembly
• Safety devices
• Nameplates
• Packing condition

After approval, the crane kits moved to the shipment stage.

Why Did the Customer Choose Explosion Proof Crane Kits?

For this project, the customer had a special requirement.

They needed explosion proof lifting equipment, but they also wanted to control transportation costs.

A complete crane includes:

• Main girder
• End carriage
• Hoist system
• Electrical system
• Steel structure

Shipping a complete crane requires more container space.

So the customer selected a customized explosion proof crane kit.

Yuantai Crane supplied:

• Explosion proof hoists
• Explosion proof motors
• Crane travelling units
• Electrical control components
• Crane mechanisms
• Manufacturing drawings

The customer prepared the steel structures locally.

This solution is common for overseas industrial projects, especially when:

• The workshop structure already exists.
• Local fabrication is available.
• The customer wants to reduce freight costs.
• The project requires special crane dimensions.

Explosion Proof Crane Kits Supplied

To reduce transportation costs, the customer manufactured the main girders and end carriage steel structures locally, while Yuantai Crane supplied complete explosion proof crane kits, including lifting mechanisms, explosion proof motors, explosion proof electrical systems, travelling mechanisms, controls, and engineering drawings.

Equipment List

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

Before shipment, the Pakistan customer completed a comprehensive FAT covering:

• Explosion proof motors
• Explosion proof electrical panels
• Hoist operation
• Crane travelling
• End carriage inspection
• Limit switches
• Safety devices
• Cable systems
• Mechanical assembly
• Nameplate verification
• Packing inspection
• Documentation review

Only after successful FAT approval were the crane kits released for export.

Why This Pakistan Customer Selected Crane Kits

Instead of shipping complete cranes, the customer imported explosion proof crane kits and fabricated the steel structures locally.

Benefits include:

• Lower international shipping costs
• Faster customs clearance
• Easier transportation
• Local steel sourcing
• Flexible installation
• Lower overall project investment
• Faster project delivery

This solution is especially popular for industrial projects in Pakistan, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

FAQs

What is an explosion proof crane kit?

An explosion proof crane kit includes all critical mechanical and electrical components, excluding the steel structure. The customer fabricates the bridge girders locally using engineering drawings supplied by the manufacturer.

Why choose a crane kit instead of a complete crane?

Crane kits significantly reduce shipping costs, simplify transportation, and allow local fabrication while maintaining the performance and safety of the original crane design.

Can explosion proof cranes be customized for Pakistan projects?

Yes. Yuantai Crane customizes explosion proof crane kits based on lifting capacity, span, lifting height, voltage, hazardous area classification, and applicable standards.

Which industries use explosion proof overhead cranes?

Explosion proof cranes are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, LNG facilities, battery plants, paint factories, and other hazardous industrial environments.
