3 Ton Gantry Crane for Kenya: Custom Design Based on Client Drawings

Why We Redesigned the Gantry Crane Instead of Copying the Original Drawing

Every crane manufacturer uses different structural standards, calculations, and design principles. For this reason, we never directly copy another company’s design.
Instead, we extracted the three core parameters from the customer’s original drawing:

Lifting Capacity:3 tons
Span:center-to-center distance between the runway beams
Lifting Height:required hook height

With these parameters, our engineering team created a new optimized drawing that meets our structural safety standards while maintaining the customer’s site requirements shown in the initial drawing.

Special Asymmetrical Leg Design for Kenyan Site Conditions

One of the most challenging parts of this project was the uneven leg height requirement:

Left leg installed directly on the workshop floor
Right leg installed on a raised platform

To ensure stability and smooth travelling movement, we:

• Adjusted the leg height difference precisely
• Recalculated wheel pressure, span, and structural stability
• Verified center-of-gravity alignment
• Optimized the wheelbase to prevent misalignment

Such customized gantry crane solutions are common for existing facilities in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, and Ethiopia.

European Low Headroom Hoist – Cost-Effective China-Made Alternative

The client’s original drawing listed lifting and running speeds from a well-known European hoist brand. To match these performance requirements at a more economical price, we selected a China-made European low headroom hoist with compatible specifications.This hoist provides:

• Low headroom design for maximum lifting height
• Smooth and quiet operation
• High-efficiency motors
• Lower cost compared to European brands

This makes it ideal for Kenyan buyers who want European performance while maintaining cost efficiency.
