Project Background

In January 2025, Mauritius ordered 2 10-ton HD European single-beam bridge cranes from Nucleon. The customer's main demand is to solve the problem of material lifting in the low workshop height environment, and they hope that the equipment has the characteristics of high efficiency and low maintenance.

The business team responded quickly and analyzed the customer's needs:

• Workshop space is limited, and traditional cranes find it difficult to meet the headroom requirements.
• Long-term continuous operation requires consideration of reliability and economy.
• Sensitive to the noise of the equipment, requiring a friendly working environment.

Solution

Our sales staff, together with our technical team, provided two sets of professional solutions:

Pont roulant électrique monopoutre de type LD

• Basic design: simple structure and equipped with a CD1/MD1 wire rope electric hoist.
  Economic option: low initial investment cost, suitable for projects with limited budget.

Standard Configuration:

• Fixed speed motor drive.
• Conventional lubrication system (requires regular maintenance)
• The running noise is about 85 dB.
• Higher height of the main beam, occupying more space.

Pont roulant européen monopoutre de type HD

Advanced design: conforms to European FEM standards with Palan électrique européen NR.
Long-term value: lower full life cycle costs despite about 18% higher initial investment.

High-performance configuration:

• Full frequency conversion stepless speed regulation (energy saving 30%).
• Maintenance-free gear motor (IP55 protection).
• Ultra-quiet operation (≤75dB).
• Compact design ( reduced headroom by 15%).

Cost-benefit Analysis:

Although the initial investment in the HD solution is 18% higher, it is more beneficial in the long term.
✓ LD solution for short-term/low-intensity use scenarios
✓ HD solution provides better return on investment for high-frequency operations
✓ Maintenance costs: 40% lower for HD than LD
✓ 30% lower energy consumption (inverter + high efficiency motor)
✓ Extended service life to 15 years (10 years for conventional models)

The customer finally adopted the HD solution, and now the equipment has completed the factory test, and the measured headroom is only 1.2 meters (the traditional solution needs 1.8 meters), which fully meets the needs of the workshop working conditions.

Technical Specifications：

• Country: Mauritius
• Capacity: 10 tons
• Span: 24.8m
• Lifting height: 2.6m
• Duty: A5
• Power Supply: 380V/50Hz/3Ph

Customer Feedback：

The customer is very satisfied with us and has taken the initiative to invite us to participate in the design of the overall lifting solution for their new factory.

Conclusion:

From contract signing to equipment installation and acceptance took only 30 days, setting a new delivery record for our European overhead crane projects of the same type. Thanks to the customer's full trust and support, the customer actively cooperated with our technical team to complete the site survey and confirmed all the technical parameters within 24 hours. This efficient decision-making mechanism saved valuable time for the follow-up work. What moved us more is that the client fully understood and supported every technical adjustment we proposed during the project implementation. To return this trust, we set up a special team to implement the “7 × 24 hours” response mechanism.
