5 Key Factors Affecting 3 Ton EOT Crane Price
1. Span Length
- Standard spans (5-30m): Each additional meter increases price by 5-8% due to heavier girders.
- Formula: Base Price + (Span Length × $500–$800/m).
2. Lifting Height
- Beyond 10m: Requires reinforced ropes/chain, adding $800–$1,200 per meter.
3. Duty Class (FEM/ISO Standard)
| Duty Class | Usage Intensity | Price Impact |
|---|---|---|
| A3 (Light) | <5 lifts/hour | Base Price |
| A5 (Medium) | 10-15 lifts/hour | +15% |
| A6 (Heavy) | Continuous use | +25-30% |
4. Brand & Components
- Dongqi Crane vs. European Brands:

- Span Range: 6m to 25m (standard warehouse spans: 8m–15m).
- Overhead Clearance: ≥200mm to maximize vertical storage space.
② Lifting Height & Speed
| Parameter | Standard Spec | High-Speed Option |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting Height | 6m–12m | Up to 20m (custom) |
| Lifting Speed | 8 m/min | 12 m/min (VFD) |
| Trolley Travel Speed | 20 m/min | 30 m/min |
| Bridge Travel Speed | 30 m/min | 45 m/min |
Note: Higher speeds require variable frequency drive (VFD) for smooth acceleration.
③ Duty Class & Usage Intensity
- FEM/ISO Duty Class: A3 (Medium Duty) – Suitable for 10–15 lifts/hour.

- Double Girder: Better for 15m+ spans, higher precision (e.g., automated warehouses).
② Control Systems for Precision Handling
- Standard: Pendant control (8-button, 24V safety voltage).
- Advanced Options:
- Radio Remote Control (up to 100m range).
- Automated Positioning (±5mm accuracy for pallet racking).
③ Safety & Compliance
- Limit Switches: Upper/lower travel limits to prevent overloading.
- Overload Protection: 105% capacity cutoff.
