Crane Request and Solution:
The customer comes from Christakis Giolitis Ltd., in Cyprus. This is the first time that Mr. Giannis cooperated with us to purchase overhead crane for his warehouse. “We are looking to find a solution for our warehouse space in Cyprus. We will need a crane to be able to lift 2 tonnes to about 7m height and have a 6m traveling distance.”
After received his request, our sales manager Ms. Mia provided 2 solutions of crane systems as below:
Outdoor 2 tonne jib crane height about 8m and traveling distance 6m.
Outdoor 2 tonne Free standing bridge crane which can fix on ground and can have height of about 8m, length 6m and width 2.5m. Crane to have traveling distance about 6m one axis and 2m on the other axis.
Giannis sent our solutions to his engineer checking, and then he asked another question:
“Also since this will be used outside please inform us whether we can make a metal cover like roof on top of the crane so we can be able to use the crane even if it rains. Please take into consideration that sometimes there is wind of 50km/h with gusts of 100km/h so the whole structure and roof cover must be wind resistant!”
Mr. Giannis compared the design and budget of the two crane solutions, also considered the limitations of the jib crane under heavy wind conditions, finally he chose the freestanding bridge crane for his application. “sorry for sending so many questions for jib crane but finally changing our mind. We need bridge crane complete with beams roof and side panels as attached.”
According to his requirement, our engineer provided a detailed design drawing for Giannis’s confirmation:
Crane Steel Structures:
The steel structure is a cost-effective option to erect various industrial buildings, such as workshops, warehouses and industrial sheds. It comes in two main types, including heavy steel structure and light steel structure.
Heavy steel structure: This metal structure is ideal for erecting heavy industrial buildings. It is super-quick to build at site and can last for decades. This structural form can be designed for different purposes, such as to process, design, store or distribute materials.
Light steel structure: The light steel construction is a new type of building construction that is perfect for small buildings. It uses thin sheets of steel, which can effectively utilize the building space and reduce the height of the facility. What’s more, it is more economical than other structural forms.
If need to make the foundation of the column and put the anchor bolts in it to fix the column. There are three pictures of columns foundation for your reference：
After all details confirmed, Mr. Giannis made the payment quickly, and said: “Hopefully quality will be as expected since I plan to buy more cranes from your side to us inside our warehouse!” Looking forward to get more cooperating orders from Cyprus!
