5 Ton Top Running Overhead Crane & 2 Ton Underhung Overhead Cranes for Russia

Project Overview

Project Location: Russia
Industry: HVAC / Air Conditioning Equipment Manufacturing
Design Standard: European standard (FEM / DIN / ISO)
Crane Configuration:
3 × 5 ton Top Running single girder overhead cranes
1 × 2 ton Underhung Single Girder Overhead Crane

Customer Background

The customer is a Russian HVAC equipment manufacturer focused on the production and assembly of commercial air conditioning systems. As production capacity expanded, the existing manual and semi-mechanical handling methods could no longer meet efficiency, safety, and precision requirements.
 
The workshop includes multiple production zones with different structural conditions, including main assembly bays and auxiliary areas with limited headroom. Therefore, the customer required a customized overhead crane solution, rather than a one-size-fits-all configuration.

Customized Overhead Crane Solution

Based on detailed workshop drawings and operating requirements, a combined European-style crane system was designed, integrating top-running and underhung cranes with tailored spans, lifting heights, and control parameters.

Top Running Single Girder Overhead Cranes 5 Ton × 3 Sets

Installed in the main production areas, these cranes handle heavier HVAC components and assembled units.

Customized parameters:

1. Rated capacity: 5 tons
2. Span options: 10.45 m / 10.661 m
3. Lifting height: 9 m
4. Control mode: Pendant control
5. Power supply: 380V / 50Hz / 3 Phase
6. Hoisting speed: 0.8 – 5 m/min
7. Crane traveling speed: 2.0 – 20 m/min (VFD controlled)

Application advantages:

• Optimized for frequent lifting of compressors, frames, and assembled HVAC units
• European lightweight structure reduces wheel pressure on runway beams
• VFD control ensures smooth acceleration and precise positioning
• Suitable for continuous indoor production with low noise operation

Underhung Single Girder Overhead Crane 2 Ton × 1 Set

The underhung overhead crane is installed in an auxiliary assembly and testing area where building height and structural constraints limit the use of a top-running system.

Customized parameters:

1. Rated capacity: 2 tons
2. Span: 18 m
3. Lifting height: 6 m
4. Control mode: Pendant control
5. Power supply: 380V / 50Hz / 3 Phase
6. Hoisting speed: 0.8 – 5 m/min
7. Crane traveling speed: 2.0 – 20 m/min (VFD controlled)

Application advantages:

• Maximized hook height in low-headroom areas
• Long span design without floor-mounted columns
• Ideal for light-duty assembly, testing, and maintenance operations
• Minimal building modification and reduced installation cost

Installation & Commissioning

The project was delivered with:

• Pre-assembled crane components
• Detailed installation and electrical drawings
• Remote technical support during installation and commissioning

All four overhead bridge cranes were successfully commissioned and integrated into the customer's production workflow.
