Industry Context

The steel processing industry in Burundi faces unique challenges when it comes to material handling and lifting operations. From space constraints and environmental conditions to specific load requirements and safety regulations, companies need crane solutions that are purpose-built for their exact operational needs.


The Challenge

Our client, a repeat customer in Burundi's steel processing sector, needed an efficient solution for steel material handling & workshop processing operations. Key challenges included matching the crane system to existing facility constraints, ensuring compatibility with local power supply standards, and delivering a system that would provide reliable, long-term performance.

Sinokocranes's Tailored Approach

Full-process follow-up with customized product solution. Dual control system and VFD drives for precise steel handling operations. The final solution — a 5 Ton European Standard Single Girder Gantry Crane with 10.9m span and 2.93m lifting height — was engineered to deliver maximum performance within the client's operational parameters.


Key Features That Made the Difference

• European standard design (KS31 model)
• Dual control: pendant + wireless remote
• Variable frequency control for trolley and gantry

• ISO M6/FEM 3M working class

Project Outcome

The European Standard Single Girder Gantry Crane was delivered on schedule, with all factory testing and on-site acceptance procedures fully completed. The crane is now production-ready. According to the client’s trial operation report, the equipment fully meets all technical requirements for mold handling, particularly in terms of lifting accuracy, operational stability, and compatibility with existing production workflows. The system’s non-interfering integration has ensured uninterrupted workflow in the client’s workshop. This successful project has further strengthened the long-term strategic partnership between the client and Sinokocranes.
