Industry Application

Manufacturing and Industrial

Manufacturing and industrial work is the broadest heading on the original list and the one where the largest share of our orders sit. Industrial cranes in the range are configured as overhead gantry or jib types up to three hundred tonnes, factory cranes up to forty tonnes, and manufacturing cranes up to thirty tonnes, which between them cover the assembly hall the machine shop and the storage bay of a typical plant. The same buyers usually also need machined parts stampings and fabrications, and those come from the same vetted network.

Problems

Industry Pain Points

Assembly lines lose time when lifting is manual and operators tire through a shift

Delicate components are damaged by equipment that was sized only for weight

Growing production lines outgrow lifting equipment that cannot be extended

Buying machines and parts from separate agents multiplies the paperwork

Plants adding automation find older lifting gear cannot be integrated with it

Typical Application Scenarios

Process

How a Project Runs

Requirement capture

We work through each bay with you so the crane type is chosen bay by bay instead of one compromise machine being applied across the plant.

Factory identification

Factory identification is one of our core services and for industrial work it means matching your tonnage class to a factory whose regular output sits in that class.

Design for manufacturing

Where you also buy parts our engineering support reviews the design for manufacturing so cost machining delivery and packaging are considered together.

Pre production inspection

Pre production inspections are carried out before the run begins because a fault found at that point costs nothing to correct.

Ongoing supply

Repeat items are locked to the approved sample so the second order matches the first without renegotiating the specification.

FAQ

Manufacturing and Industrial Sourcing FAQ

What capacities are available for industrial cranes

Industrial cranes are configured as overhead gantry or jib types with capacity up to three hundred tonnes while factory cranes reach forty tonnes and manufacturing cranes reach thirty tonnes.

Can lifting equipment work with our automation

Integration with automation systems is one of the features our manufacturing crane factories build for and it is specified at the enquiry stage rather than added later.

Do you support small workshop lifting as well

Workshop cranes using electric or manual hoists are supplied up to two tonnes for machine shops and repair facilities.

Can you help with part design before quoting

Our experience across industrial components lets us give engineers technical support in the design for manufacturing process before a price is fixed.

How many factories can you draw on

We have been building the network since 2007 and we compare several factories for each enquiry rather than sending every job to one supplier.
