2. Applications: Where Our Cranes Excel
Dongqi’s 5-20 ton single-girder gantry cranes are engineered to tackle heavy lifting challenges across industries. Below are detailed scenarios where our cranes deliver unmatched performance, with customized solutions for each sector:
① Steel & Metal Processing
Challenge: Handling hot, heavy, and irregularly shaped loads (e.g., steel coils, billets, pipes) in high-temperature environments.
Dongqi Solutions:
- 20-ton Dual-Hook System:
- Main hook (20t) + Auxiliary hook (5t) for simultaneous handling of large coils and precision positioning.
- Heat-resistant upgrades:
- High-temp paint (withstands up to 200°C).
- Thermal insulation for motors (ambient temperature ≤60°C).
- L-Type Girder Design:
- Optimized for long steel pipes (up to 12m), reducing load swing during transfer.
Case Example:
A Chinese steel mill reduced coil-loading time by 30% using our 20-ton MG crane with anti-sway VFD control.

② Logistics & Warehousing
Challenge: Efficiently moving containers, pallets, and bulk goods in space-constrained yards or warehouses.
Dongqi Solutions:
- 5-10 ton Compact Cranes:
- Collapsible legs for narrow aisles (min. working width: 4.5m).
- Polyurethane wheels for noise reduction (<75 dB) in urban logistics hubs.
- Automated Options:
- RFID-enabled load tracking + semi-automatic positioning (accuracy: ±10mm).
Case Example:
A German logistics firm integrated our 10-ton crane with remote control to handle 200+ containers/day at their Hamburg depot.
③ Construction & Precast Concrete
Challenge: Outdoor lifting of heavy concrete panels, beams, and pipes under harsh weather.
Dongqi Solutions:
- Outdoor-Ready Configurations:
- Corrosion protection: Triple-layer coating (epoxy zinc primer + polyurethane topcoat).
- Windproof design:
- Anchoring kits for wind speeds up to 60 mph (Beaufort scale 10).
- Automatic rail clamps to prevent displacement during storms.
- High-Cycle Models (A5 Work Class):
- Duty cycle: 150-300 lifts/day (ideal for precast yard operations).
Case Example:
A Qatari construction firm used our 15-ton anti-corrosion crane for the Lusail Metro project, withstanding coastal humidity and sandstorms.
④ Ports & Rail Terminals
Challenge: Rapid loading/unloading of ship cargo, rail containers, and bulk materials.
Dongqi Solutions:
- High-Speed Travel (Up to 63 m/min):
- Dual-motor drives for smooth acceleration/deceleration.
- Heavy-Duty Wheels & Rails:
- Forged steel wheels (hardness: HB330-380) + QU80 rail for 20+ years of service.
- Dustproof Electricals:
- IP65-rated control panels for coastal/sandy environments.
Case Example:
A Vietnamese port upgraded to our 2x 20-ton cranes with 40m span, cutting vessel turnaround time by 25%.
⑤ Automotive & Machinery Assembly
Challenge: Precise handling of engines, molds, and heavy machinery in low-headroom facilities.
Dongqi Solutions:
- Low-Headroom Models:
- Reduced hook approach (min. 500mm from ceiling).
- Modular design for easy reconfiguration in expanding factories.
- Precision Controls:
- Micro-speed mode (0.5 m/min) for delicate assembly tasks.
Case Example:
A Thai auto plant uses our 5-ton low-headroom crane to install EV batteries in 8m-high workshops.
⑥ Energy & Heavy Industries
Challenge: Operating in hazardous (explosive, icy, or humid) environments.
Dongqi Solutions:
- Explosion-Proof (Ex d IIC T4):
- ATEX-certified components for oil/gas facilities.
- Arctic Packages:
- -40°C lubrication + heated cabins for Siberian power plants.
Case Example:
A Norwegian offshore platform uses our 10-ton explosion-proof crane for drilling module maintenance.
