FAQ
I. Can your cranes work in cold storage warehouses (-25°C)?
Yes. We offer low-temperature rated cranes with special steel grades (impact-tested at -40°C), cold-rated lubricants, enclosed conductors to prevent ice buildup, and heaters for electrical cabinets. All components are selected for reliable operation down to -30°C.
II. What's the advantage of your cranes over manual forklifts in warehouses?
Overhead cranes free up floor space (no aisles needed), handle heavier loads (up to 20 tons vs. typical 3-5 ton forklifts), reduce product damage with precise control, and improve operator safety by keeping personnel away from ground-level traffic. ROI is typically achieved within 2-3 years for medium-to-large warehouses.
III. Can I add automation later if I start with a manual crane?
Yes. Our standard cranes are designed with upgrade paths. You can start with pendant control and later add radio remote, or integrate positioning sensors and PLC interfaces for semi-automated operation. We recommend discussing future needs during initial design to minimize retrofit costs.
IV. How do you handle warehouse ceiling height limitations?
We offer low-headroom crane designs that maximize lifting height under low ceilings. Our engineers will review your building drawings and propose the optimal configuration—sometimes a underhung crane or wall-mounted jib can be more suitable than a traditional top-running design.
