Dongqi Crane’s 5-20 ton single-girder gantry cranes (MG series) are engineered for durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency, making them ideal for workshops, warehouses, steel plants, and ports.

Key Features & Benefits

Lightweight & Space-Saving

  • Single-girder design reduces deadweight by 15-20% vs. double-girder models, lowering foundation costs.
  • Low headroom options maximize vertical lifting space in confined facilities.

Robust Construction

  • Main girder: Fabricated with Q345B steel (yield strength ≥345MPa), welded via automated submerged arc welding (SAW) for zero defects.
  • Hoist mechanism: Equipped with Grade 80 alloy steel chains (4x safety factor) and IP55-rated motors for dust/water resistance.

Energy-Saving Operation

  • Variable frequency drive (VFD) control reduces power consumption by up to 25% during idle periods.

Here’s a refined and detailed expansion of the “Applications: Where Our Cranes Excel” section, tailored for Dongqi Crane’s 5-20 ton single-girder gantry cranes, with industry-specific use cases, technical adaptations, and real-world examples:


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.
