Project Overview
In 2025, we successfully delivered 5-ton European single girder overhead crane core components with a matching permanent magnet lifter to a steel structure manufacturing plant in Argentina.
This project demonstrates the advantages of flexible supply chain models in overseas markets, where customers only need to purchase core components while the main beam can be manufactured locally, significantly reducing logistics costs and customs clearance complexity.
