5Ton FEM Standard Low Headroom Overhead Crane Exported to Thailand

I. Project Background: Low Headroom Overhead Crane for a New Factory in Thailand

Customer:A large manufacturing company in Thailand has invested in building a modern steel structure factory with 10 workshops.

（1）It took 18 months from inquiry to contract confirmation;

（2）The number of overehead cranes and the dimensions of the workshop and other data have been modified many times;

（3）There are strict requirements for the brand of the gear motor, and cost control is also needed.

II. Challenges faced by this order

(1) The building height is limited

The client wants the height of the factory building to give people a sense of being staggered and well-arranged, so the height of each workshop is different. They require the design of compact cranes without sacrificing the lifting height.

(2) Be very sensitive to the purchase price

The customer wants to purchase a low headroom overhead crane with a working grade of A5 at the price of a regular A3 grade.

(3) Specified requirements for accessory brands

The technical engineer of the client has two mandatory requirements:

♦  The lifting mechanism must adopt European-style electric hoists (working level A5), as they can adapt to high-frequency and continuous operations, are lightweight, energy-saving and maintenance-free;

♦  The running motor of the crane must be a German brand because they hope to have after-sales service locally.

II. MOTCRANE’s solution

To resolve the conflict between performance requirements and low budgets, our sales manager has prepared a structured comparison table for the client, which can clearly demonstrate the differences among the three solutions. The main comparisons are made in terms of price, core component configuration and long-term operating costs.

Option A: Top Performance Edition (“Money Is No Object”)

Advantages: High performance, low failure rate, international brand global after-sales service, and long service life.

Disadvantage: The initial investment is very high and it is only suitable for enterprises with sufficient funds.

Option B: Optimal Value Edition (Final Selection)

Advantages:

♦  Its performance is on par with all imported configurations, and it also complies with the A5 standard and European technical standards;

♦  High energy efficiency and easy maintenance;

♦  The lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) over a 5-10 year usage period;

♦  This configuration offers the best balance among performance, reliability and cost for FEM standard low headroom overhead crane projects.

 Option C: Basic Compliance Edition

Through a clear and price-transparent comparison list:

♦  The technical engineer confirmed that Plan B fully meets all key performance and safety requirements

♦  The purchasing manager recognized that Option B offered the lowest long-term operating costs, although not the lowest initial price

As a result, the client reached an internal consensus and officially chose option B: the Optimal Value Edition.

III. Project outcomes and customer feedback

All 15 low headroom overhead cranes were successfully manufactured, delivered and installed, precisely matching the layout of 10 workshops. The crane fully complies with the A5 operation requirements and has been put into stable operation.

Customer feedback (Technical Manager and on-site operators) :

Although the planning cycle of this project is very long, with multiple parameter adjustments within half a year, the comparison list provided by your team is clear, practical and easy to understand. It not only helps us comprehensively assess the purchase cost, but also assists us in evaluating long-term operation and maintenance. It has enabled us to strike a balance among performance, reliability and life cycle cost.

If you are planning a project involving low headroom overhead cranes, especially under space constraints and long-term operational requirements, feel free to contact us for a preliminary technical assessment and optimization proposal.
