2 ton Portable Gantry Crane Applied to Mauritius Metro project

Rohit's Crane Needs

Rohit was a talented engineer who worked for one of the top contractors in the world. He had been assigned to the Mauritius Metro Express project, a light rail system that would connect the major cities of the island nation. He was in charge of advancing the construction and maintenance of the subway, which involved handling and assembling various parts and equipment.

One of the challenges he faced was to install a 2 ton crane in the maintenance workshop of the subway. The crane would help him lift and move heavy objects with ease and efficiency.

Contact Yuantai Crane

As we have contacted with each other for several years from his other project, he contacted us directly with his new 2 ton crane inquiry.

With his experience, he had initially proposed a 2 ton mobile jib crane, a maximum jib length of 3m, and a lifting height of 3m. We designed the 2 ton portable jib crane as he want, and offered our detailed quotation. However, the portable jib crane plan was rejected by the Metro Express Limited (MEL), the company responsible for the implementation of the project. They reported that the mobile jib crane could not fully match their actual working conditions, as it would take up too much space and interfere with other operations.

We and Rohit were facing the same problem, what kind of crane can match the customer's working conditions. That being the case, let us go back to the original origin and start again. Rohit sent us some real photos of the site environment.

Detailed working conditions

In the middle of the room there are subway tracks.
The crane should cover the area from the left hand rail to the middle of the right hand rail.
The main working area is 3m underground.
There is a 3m lifting height requirement on the ground

New Crane Solution Match the Working Conditions

Our team came up with a better solution soon. We recommended him to use a portable gantry crane instead of a mobile jib crane. A portable gantry crane is a type of crane that consists of a horizontal beam supported by two legs that can be mounted on wheels or casters. It can be moved from one location to another within a facility or work area. It can be used to lift and move heavy objects such as parts, equipment, or materials.
