10 Ton Overhead Crane Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity: A Case Study of a 10 Ton Double Girder Overhead Crane Installation for an Indonesian Steel Coil Plant.
In a bid to boost production capacity, a prominent steel coil plant in Indonesia sought material handling solutions globally. Ultimately, they selected Yuantai Crane for their expertise in designing a cost-effective and efficient overhead crane system. This case study delves into the successful implementation of a 10-ton double girder overhead crane (European-style) by Yuantai Crane and the profound impact it had on the operations of the Indonesian steel coil plant.
Client Profile and Needs
The Indonesian steel coil plant required a robust material handling solution capable of lifting standard-sized steel coils. These coils were not suitable for conventional crane hooks and necessitated the use of special lifting slings to handle them delicately. Furthermore, as most of the steel coils were final products packed in delicate packaging, gentle handling was crucial. Additionally, the client required the bridge crane to operate nearly 24 hours a day. Cost-effectiveness and durability were paramount concerns for the client.
Yuantai Crane's Overhead Crane Solution
To design a precise steel slab handling crane, Yuantai Crane first requested workshop drawings from the Indonesian client. After careful consideration of the client's requirements and the factory conditions, Yuantai Crane designed a 10-ton double girder overhead crane with a European-style low headroom configuration. This choice was made due to the limited space in the client's workshop, making the European-style crane the optimal fit. The client warmly received and embraced Yuantai Crane's recommendation and design solution.
Advantages of the European Overhead Crane Solution
Yuantai Crane's European-style overhead crane solution brought several key advantages:
- - European Standard:The crane adhered to the FEM standard, utilizing Schneider electrical components, a cost-effective choice for the client.
- - Frequency Converter:Equipped with a frequency converter, the crane's speed could be adjusted for smoother and steadier travel.
- - Enhanced Efficiency:The 10-ton overhead crane fully met the client's requirements, enhancing their overall working efficiency.
- - Reduced Maintenance:The crane required less maintenance, saving time and costs, a feature highly appreciated by the client.
- - Cost-Effective:The pricing of the 10-ton overhead crane was reasonable and affordable, aligning perfectly with the client's budget.
Challenges in Overseas Installation
Overseas installations faced challenges due to the impact of COVID-19. The cost and logistical complexity of dispatching engineers to the site were high. In response, Yuantai Crane provided innovative solutions, offering 7/24 online installation guides through videos, pictures, and written instructions. This approach allowed customers to choose local engineers for installation, demonstrating Yuantai Crane's flexibility and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Client Feedback
The 10-ton EOT crane performed admirably in the Indonesian steel coil plant. The Managing Director, Mr. Parveez, shared glowing feedback on Yuantai Crane's material handling equipment. He indicated their intention to purchase a 5-ton bridge crane and another 10-ton bridge crane by year-end to accommodate their expanding production needs, solidifying a positive and ongoing cooperation.
Yuantai Crane's successful implementation of a 10-ton double girder overhead crane in an Indonesian steel coil plant exemplifies the company's commitment to delivering efficient and cost-effective material handling solutions. This case study underscores the importance of collaborating with knowledgeable partners to enhance productivity and meet growing demands in industrial settings.

Types of overhead cranes for steel coil handling
Steel coil handling often requires specialized overhead crane systems designed to safely and efficiently transport heavy and bulky coils within manufacturing facilities or storage areas. There are several types of overhead cranes commonly used for steel coil handling:
- Design:Double girder overhead cranes feature two parallel horizontal beams (girders) that support the trolley and hoist.
- Advantages:They offer higher lifting capacities and are well-suited for handling extremely heavy steel coils. Their stability and durability make them a popular choice in steel manufacturing plants.
- Applications:Double girder overhead cranes are commonly used for large and heavy steel coils.
- Design:Single girder overhead cranes have one horizontal beam (girder) supporting the trolley and hoist.
- Advantages:They are cost-effective and versatile, suitable for handling moderate-sized steel coils in various industrial applications.
- Applications:Single girder overhead cranes are used in smaller steel coil handling operations.
- Design:Gantry cranes are similar to bridge cranes but are supported by legs that run on the floor instead of overhead runways. They can be single or double girder.
- Advantages:Gantry cranes offer mobility and can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are suitable for handling steel coils in open storage areas.
- Applications:Gantry cranes are commonly used in steel coil yards and locations where an overhead runway system is not feasible.
- Design:Magnetic cranes are equipped with powerful electromagnets that can securely lift and transport ferrous steel coils by magnetic attraction.
- Advantages:They provide a strong, reliable grip on steel coils, making them ideal for handling ferrous materials.
- Applications:Magnetic cranes are used in steel mills and facilities where magnetic lifting is required.
- Design:Coil handling cranes are specially designed for the specific needs of steel coil handling. They often incorporate custom below-hook devices like coil hooks, C-hooks, or grabs.
- Advantages:These cranes are tailored to handle steel coils efficiently and safely, minimizing the risk of damage.
- Applications:Coil handling cranes are used primarily for steel coil handling applications.
The choice of overhead crane type depends on factors such as the size and weight of the steel coils, the layout of the facility, and specific operational requirements. Safety considerations and compliance with industry standards are paramount when selecting and operating overhead cranes for steel coil handling.
