On July 25th 2018, we received an inquiry of two sets overhead cranes from Senegal, this customer’s main business is to produce and sell glass window and glass door, they need two overhead cranes to lift and transport glasses during producing. As we all know, glass is fragile, which requires higher stability of the crane during lifting and transportation. Finally our sales engineers advised our customers to use European type single girder overhead crane, It has the advantages of compact structure, light weight, safety and reliability, high efficiency and anti-sway, which is the best choice for the glass industry.
