2 Set 5 Ton Bridge Crane Delivered to Uzbekistan for Mining Equipment Maintenance

In May, VOITTO Crane sold two LD-type single-girder 5 ton bridge cranes to a mining equipment maintenance workshop in Tashkent, each with a rated lifting capacity of 5 tons. These LD single-girder bridge cranes have spans of 19.5 meters and 13.5 meters, respectively, and a lifting height of 10.5 meters. Currently, both units have been installed and are in operation. This case study outlines the project’s configuration, the lifting requirements within the workshop.

Visão geral do projeto

VOITTO Crane supplied two 5 ton bridge cranes to a mining equipment maintenance facility in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Because the facility’s existing lifting equipment was outdated and deteriorating, resulting in reduced operational efficiency and increased maintenance frequency, the facility manager decided to purchase new equipment to carry out daily maintenance tasks. The two cranes installed have spans of 19.5 meters and 13.5 meters, respectively, and serve the facility’s two workshop areas.

Desafios do projeto

Maintenance work at this facility involves a variety of lifting operations, ranging from the handling of complete sets of mining equipment to large components and even various small parts—all of which must flow smoothly within the workshop.

Furthermore, the two workshops at this facility have different span widths, making it impossible to use lifting equipment with a uniform span. When replacing the equipment, it must be customized to the span of each respective workshop—19.5 meters for one and 13.5 meters for the other—while both must meet the maintenance requirements of a 5-ton rated load capacity and a 10.5-meter lifting height.

VOITTO Crane Solution

Crane Configuration: After understanding the customer’s operational requirements, VOITTO Crane provided a solution consisting of two LD-type 5 ton bridge cranes. Each crane has a rated lifting capacity of 5 tons. The LD-type single-girder structure consists of a main girder and end beams at both ends, and runs along elevated tracks. This configuration is ideally suited for the customer’s daily operations.

Vão e altura de elevação: The spans of these two cranes are 19.5 meters and 13.5 meters, respectively, while both have a lifting height of 10.5 meters. By customizing the crane span according to the width of each workshop bay—rather than using a standardized span—we ensure that each crane fits perfectly into its designated area without compromising on lifting height or load capacity.

Project Status and Results

At this stage, both cranes have been installed and are operational at the facility. Because the project is still in its early operational stages, VOITTO Crane has not yet collected any formal customer feedback or performance data. This section will be updated once verified data becomes available.

Conclusão

For this project, two LD-type single-girder overhead cranes, each with a lifting capacity of 5 tons, were installed in two workshop bays of different sizes to meet the specified requirements; both cranes were custom-built to fit the dimensions of their respective bays and were uniformly set to a lifting height of 10.5 meters. For this mining equipment maintenance facility, which must handle both complete machines and various components, this solution—featuring custom-designed cranes for different spans—ensures consistency in lifting capacity and lifting height throughout the entire workshop.

If your facility requires overhead cranes configured for specific spans, lifting heights, or operating environments, please contact the VOITTO Crane engineering team and provide your workshop dimensions to receive tailored configuration recommendations.

FAQ

What specifications were used for the 5 ton bridge crane project in Uzbekistan?

The project used two LD single-girder overhead cranes, each rated for a 5-ton lifting capacity and a 10.5 m lifting height. One crane has a 19.5 m span and the other a 13.5 m span, matched to the two workshop bays at the mining equipment maintenance facility in Tashkent.

What is the difference between a 5 ton bridge crane and a 5 ton gantry crane?

A 5-ton bridge crane runs on elevated runway rails supported by the building structure, while a 5-ton gantry crane carries its own support legs and runs on ground-level rails. Bridge cranes suit indoor workshops with existing structural support; gantry cranes suit sites without it.

How should buyers determine the required span and lifting height for a bridge crane?

The span is determined by the span of the factory building where the crane operates—that is, the distance between the two rails; the lifting height depends on the maximum height of the cargo to be lifted and the required clearance above the cargo. Once these two parameters are determined, the appropriate crane specifications can be selected based on the actual conditions of the factory building.

Can a single girder overhead crane be configured for different workshop requirements?

Yes. As in this Uzbekistan project, a single-girder overhead crane can be built with different spans, lifting heights, and capacities for separate bays within the same facility.
