This 5-ton grab overhead crane was custom-built for our client in Nigeria. The client previously used a DEMAG grab crane, but due to years of inadequate maintenance, it ultimately suffered a major accident caused by a cable fire. Therefore, the client had to build a new bulk material storage area, requiring 2-3 such overhead cranes for feeding, transferring, and unloading operations.
This overhead crane is remotely operated. Due to its lifting height of 15 meters and the need for precise positioning in the feed chute, the lifting mechanism is equipped with a 20-ton M5 vertical wire rope hoist. It is used in conjunction with a high-quality "PEINER" electro-hydraulic double-shell grab bucket. The grab bucket is powered by "VAHLE" spring cable drum. To prevent fire hazards, all crane cables are made of fire-resistant materials. Considering its high lifting height, this crane is designed with anti-sway and grab slack protection functions, two-stage lifting height limit switches, and a high-precision overload limiter.
The crane is also equipped with our brand-new Intelligent Control Unit (SCU). Customer maintenance personnel can monitor the crane's operating status in real time via a mobile application and adjust parameters as needed. The SCU provides key information such as crane brake disc wear, wire rope replacement timing, and fault signal feedback, enabling predictive maintenance and improving the overall equipment user experience.
