en.Wedoany.com Reported - Henan Dafang Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (Dafang Crane) overcame multiple technical and logistical challenges, including space constraints, high international shipping costs, and changes in import regulations, to deliver two 5-ton overhead cranes to a factory in Argentina.
Both cranes were manufactured by Dafang Crane. The Argentine client required the equipment to operate within a headroom limit of 1680 mm, while also needing to be transported by sea and kept within a specified budget, prompting the client to opt for shipment in standard 20-foot containers.
To meet the headroom requirement, Dafang Crane adopted a customized design, splitting each main girder into four separate sections. This modular approach adapted to the factory's height constraints while controlling costs through standard container transport. The segmented design avoided the higher costs associated with using flat-rack containers or break-bulk shipping, which would typically be required for a single main girder length of 17.868 meters.
During project implementation, Argentina's import regulations underwent significant changes, including extending license validity periods and accelerating approval processes. According to project details, the regulatory changes were accompanied by tightened foreign exchange controls and repeated delays in payment timelines, requiring the company to frequently update pricing and technical documents.
Due to international travel restrictions, the Argentine client was unable to travel to China for on-site factory inspections. Dafang Crane provided remote support and virtual audits as alternatives, focusing on confirming machining accuracy and verifying the client's technical specifications to build trust.
Currently, both cranes have been transported, installed, and are in operation at the client's factory. In July 2025, Dafang Crane delivered three double-girder overhead cranes to a client in Thailand.
