5 Ton Overhead Crane with Electric Chain Hoist for Mali
This project involved the supply of a 5 ton Overhead Crane system for a customer in Mali. Designed to improve lifting efficiency and safety in an industrial working environment. The customer required a complete lifting solution, including not only the crane system but also the supporting rail and runway structure. Based on the customer's requirements, we provided a customized LD single girder overhead crane equipped with an electric chain hoist, together with matching rails, conductor bar. And supporting beams to ensure a complete and reliable installation.
The ordered overhead crane features a lifting capacity of 5 tons, a span of 9 meters. And a lifting height of 3.325 meters with a total crane height of 5 meters. The system is designed with an A3 working class, which is suitable for light and medium-duty material handling applications. Powered by a 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase electrical system, the crane offers stable performance and efficient operation. The control method is a pendant control system, allowing operators to conveniently control lifting, trolley movement, and crane travel functions.
One of the key requirements of this project was the inclusion of complete runway components. Unlike standard crane supply projects, the customer needed a full lifting infrastructure solution. Including 50×30 rails, a 6mm² conductor bar system, and HN396×199×7×11 supporting beams. By supplying both the overhead crane and its related structural components, we helped simplify the customer's installation process. And ensured better compatibility between the crane and the runway system.
The Overhead Crane adopts a compact single girder structure, which provides several advantages, including reduced self-weight, lower installation requirements, and efficient use of workshop space. Compared with traditional double girder cranes, the LD-type single girder crane requires less building reinforcement while still delivering reliable lifting performance. Combined with the electric chain hoist, the system provides smooth lifting, precise positioning, and easy maintenance.
During communication, the customer confirmed that the main requirement was a practical and complete lifting solution. The project specifications were clearly defined, including the need for rails and supporting beams. Our technical team carefully reviewed the application conditions and prepared a suitable configuration to meet the customer's operational needs. The final solution balanced performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
The production period was set at 20 working days, with shipment arranged by sea under CIF Abidjan terms. The payment condition was agreed as 84% down payment and 16% payment before shipment, allowing the project to proceed quickly after technical confirmation.
This 5 ton Overhead Crane project demonstrates SEVENCRANE’s ability to provide customized lifting solutions for international customers. By combining quality crane components, complete accessories, and professional technical support, the system will help the customer achieve safer and more efficient material handling operations in Mali.
