Double girder overhead crane installed above a production bay
Industry Application

Energy and Power

Energy and power was carried on the original industry list because plant operators buy in a pattern of their own: a small number of very heavy lifts, long intervals between them, and no tolerance for a machine that will not start when an outage window opens. We source overhead and gantry cranes for turbine halls and maintenance bays, and separately supply the electrical steel foils and machined components that plant and transformer builders buy in their own right.

Problems

Industry Pain Points

Equipment stands idle between outages and must still perform on the first attempt

An outage window is fixed so a late delivery cannot be absorbed by the programme

Heavy components are positioned to tight clearances inside a congested hall

Critical infrastructure buyers cannot accept an unidentified supply chain

Material specifications for electrical steel are easy to substitute and hard to verify

Typical Application Scenarios

Process

How a Project Runs

Outage planning

We work back from the outage date so the factory milestones are set against your window rather than against a generic delivery promise.

Credit check

We have access to information on the creditworthiness of Chinese companies and we use it before recommending a factory for a critical order.

Specification lock

Material grades and electrical steel specifications are written into the order so a substitution cannot be made quietly at the mill.

Witnessed testing

Testing is witnessed by our team and recorded so the operator has evidence rather than a certificate alone.

Handover pack

Operating and maintenance documents are collected from the factory and issued with the equipment instead of being chased afterwards.

FAQ

Energy and Power Sourcing FAQ

What crane functions matter most in a power plant

Intelligent monitoring anti sway positioning synchronous operation and micro motion are the functions our factories build for heavy plant duty and all four can be specified together.

Do you supply materials as well as machines

Foils electrical steel fasteners and machined parts are sourced through the same network and can be ordered independently of any equipment.

How do you protect us from factory failure mid order

We check the creditworthiness of the company before recommending it which is information a foreign buyer usually cannot obtain alone.

Can we see the factory before committing

Our team conducts factory visits to confirm quality compliance and transparency and reports back to you on what was seen.

What does the sourcing service cost

The service fee is as low as three per cent of the order value.
