en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mining Crane Company (Kuangshan Crane) recently delivered two CE-certified single-girder bridge cranes (5 tons and 10 tons) to a Croatian metal processing enterprise, completing the entire delivery, installation, and commissioning process within 16 days.
The project required addressing several specific operating conditions, including limited headroom in the existing workshop and the need to maintain high productivity across three shifts. The client, primarily engaged in metal sheet processing and structural component manufacturing, needed to enhance lifting capacity to support business expansion. The workshop already featured double-girder bridge cranes from European brands such as Demag and Abus, and the new equipment had to be compatible with their technical and quality standards. Both cranes specified by the client comply with FEM standards, are equipped with pendant and wireless remote controls, and operate on a 380V/50Hz/3PH power supply.
The main installation challenge was the limited headroom of only 1100 millimeters above the rails, which exceeded the height of standard crane models. Mining Crane Company addressed this by modifying the main girder structure, partially embedding it into the end carriages, effectively reducing the overall height. This solution allowed installation without altering the workshop layout or affecting overhead piping. The company matched each crane's dimensions to the client's workshop drawings and cross-verified parameters such as span and rail specifications to ensure smooth installation based on the existing infrastructure.
Speed adaptation was also a key optimization focus given the high-frequency and high-density operations within the facility. At the client's request, on-site technicians increased the crane travel speed to a maximum of 30 meters per minute, effectively improving material flow efficiency in the workshop. After the equipment arrived at the Port of Rijeka, Mining Crane Company dispatched engineers for on-site assembly and system inspection. Installation was completed ahead of schedule, and training on safe operation, daily inspections, and troubleshooting was provided to workshop operators and maintenance personnel.
The newly deployed cranes now operate in coordination with existing equipment from Demag and Abus. The client has expressed interest in further expanding lifting capacity, with plans to procure additional equipment for a new factory in 2026. This project validated the cranes' compliance with EU standards and demonstrated ongoing collaboration between the two companies.
