We are proud to share the latest update from one of our exciting international projects—the installation of a 40.5-ton container gantry crane with a 22-meter span, now underway in a copper concentrate open yard for a valued new client.
Understanding the Project Needs
The client, a large-scale operator in the mining and bulk logistics sector, required a heavy-duty smart gantry crane to improve the efficiency and safety of copper concentrate container handling in a challenging outdoor environment. The yard presents unique environmental and operational demands, including exposure to dust, uneven ground conditions, and long work cycles.
To meet these challenges, our engineering team provided a customized intelligent lifting solution equipped with advanced automation and smart control technology—designed for consistent performance and minimal downtime in harsh environments.
Overview of the Installation Process
The crane components were successfully delivered to the project site earlier this month. The installation process commenced shortly thereafter, with on-site teams currently focused on assembling the main beam and support structures. The 22-meter span allows for wide operational coverage, while the 40.5T lifting capacity ensures robust performance for heavy container handling tasks.
Installation in an open yard setting requires careful planning and execution. Safety protocols have been meticulously followed, and all procedures are conducted under close supervision by our experienced field engineers. Despite occasional weather disruptions, the project remains on schedule, thanks to efficient logistics coordination and professional teamwork.
Technical Highlights
Lifting Capacity: 40.5 tons
Span: 22 meters
Design: Corrosion-resistant steel structure suitable for open-yard use
Features:
- Remote monitoring and system feedback
- Intelligent anti-sway and load positioning system
- Advanced automated control system with automatic Positioning, automatic correction, and automatic alignment
Application: Container handling in a copper concentrate storage area
To adapt to the harsh outdoor environment, the crane is equipped with anti-dust sealing systems, enhanced surface coating, and reinforced components for extended durability.
The installation of the 40.5T container gantry crane with a 22-meter span is currently well underway at the copper concentrate open yard. Despite the challenges of working in an open, industrial environment, our on-site team is executing the process with precision and efficiency, staying on track with the project timeline.
This marks a significant step forward in our first collaboration with the client—and we’re just getting started.
In our next update, we’ll take you behind the scenes of the commissioning phase, where the crane will undergo load testing, fine-tuning, and real-time operational checks. We’ll also explore how it transitions from installation to full-scale operation, bringing measurable improvements to container handling efficiency. Stay tuned as this powerful solution moves from assembly to action.
