Complete Plant Lifting Solution: 29 High-Spec Overhead Cranes for a Leading Indonesian Manufacturer

28 Feb, 2026

KUANGSHAN CRANE successfully provided a complete plant-wide solution of 29 high-spec overhead cranes for a new factory project of a large manufacturing enterprise in Indonesia, fully covering the core lifting requirements of production and general assembly workshops.

This project was not a simple competition of price or technical parameters. It was a comprehensive evaluation centered on factory planning capability, depth of engineering services, and overall brand strength. Ultimately, KUANGSHAN CRANE stood out among multiple international and local suppliers and became the client's partner for the complete plant lifting solution.

This was not merely a batch equipment supply, but a systematic lifting system planning project built around the development of a high-end manufacturing framework.

Why Did the Client Choose KUANGSHAN CRANE? — Three Core Advantages Demonstrated in This Project

The client is one of the leading enterprises in Indonesia's manufacturing sector, with products mainly exported to Europe and North America. Serving high-end international markets, the client required significantly higher standards in operational stability, safety compliance, and lifting precision than typical industrial projects.

With increasing international orders, the client initiated the construction of a new factory. The new workshops imposed systematic requirements on the lifting system:

• High-frequency material handling in production workshops
• Heavy component transfer at general assembly stations
• Assembly and tilting operations for finished equipment

This meant that cranes were no longer standalone units, but core infrastructure systems supporting the entire production rhythm.

Against this background, KUANGSHAN CRANE's advantages were reflected in three key aspects:

1. Engineering capability to engage at the factory design stage — not merely selling equipment, but participating in factory planning.

2. A complete high-spec configuration tailored for high-end manufacturing — not just “functional,” but designed for long-term reliable operation.

3. Brand strength and delivery capability proven in international projects — not single-unit supply, but full plant-level delivery of 29 cranes.

The project execution process below demonstrates the full implementation of these advantages.

Early Involvement in Factory Design — Integrating the Lifting System into Core Infrastructure

When the client first initiated the inquiry, the factory was still at the design stage. The key challenge was not simply selecting a crane model, but determining:

How should crane runways, spans, and coverage areas be matched with the building structure?
Any miscalculation at this stage would lead to extremely high modification costs later.

At this critical stage, KUANGSHAN CRANE proactively intervened:

• Provided 1:1 layout drawings of overhead cranes directly integrated into the factory architectural design
• Optimized span, runway arrangement, and operational coverage based on building structure
• Eliminated potential modification risks caused by improper lifting layout at the design phase

As a result, the lifting system became an integral part of the factory design rather than a later-installed accessory, while also reserving capacity for future expansion.

Face-to-Face Technical Service — Translating Solutions into Real Production Scenarios

In April 2025, KUANGSHAN CRANE's technical team visited the client's site in Indonesia for in-depth technical discussions.

This visit was not procedural; it focused directly on actual production processes:

• Analyzed lifting frequency and load demands across different production zones
• Matched varying crane capacities and configurations to specific workshops
• Planned all 29 cranes as a coordinated operational system

This manufacturer-level, engineer-led communication approach clearly demonstrated to the client that KUANGSHAN CRANE was not merely responding to requirements, but helping them build the factory correctly from the outset.

High-End Configuration for Overhead Crane — Not an Option, but a Requirement

As the client's products are exported to Europe and North America, strict requirements on equipment reliability and safety standards were mandatory. From the beginning, the project defined a clear principle: no low-end compromise solutions.

All cranes adopted a unified high-spec configuration:

• Hoisting Motor — SEW imported motor — Smooth operation, long service life, reduced long-term maintenance risks
• Electrical System — Schneider Electric components with frequency conversion control — Precise positioning and adaptability to high-frequency operations
• Structural Design — Lightweight bridge girder — Reduced self-weight, smoother operation, and lower energy consumption

These configurations were not marketing features, but essential long-term operational standards required by a high-end export-oriented manufacturer.

Brand Endorsement of KUANGSHAN CRANE — Why Was the Client Confident to Order 29 Units at Once?

After confirming the technical solution and configuration system, the client's key concern was:

Could 29 units be delivered on schedule?
Could they operate reliably over the long term?

This is precisely where KUANGSHAN CRANE's core strengths lie.

KUANGSHAN CRANE is one of the leading manufacturers in China's overhead crane industry, ranking among the Top 2 in China and recognized as one of the Top 10 overhead crane suppliers globally.

With large-scale manufacturing facilities, mature technical systems, and comprehensive quality control processes, the company possesses:

• Simultaneous large-batch production capability
• Integrated management capability for complex projects
• Extensive international project operation experience

These strengths enabled the client to confidently entrust the entire plant lifting system to a single manufacturer.

The True Test of Batch Delivery — Imported Motor Lead Time vs. Overall Construction Schedule

During project execution, the standard lead time for SEW motors was approximately 45 days, while the factory construction schedule was tight.

To avoid impacting the client's timeline, KUANGSHAN CRANE:

• Secured core component production slots in advance
• Coordinated production and procurement in parallel
• Implemented cross-department collaboration to compress manufacturing cycles

Ultimately, all 29 high-spec overhead cranes were completed and shipped in accordance with the planned milestones.

This demonstrated not only single-product capability, but comprehensive plant-level project management and supply chain coordination strength.

Operational Results — Core Production Support System for the New Factory

After installation and commissioning, on-site heavy-load testing showed stable performance:

• Smooth start and stop with no significant sway
• Precise positioning to meet precision assembly rhythms
• Low noise levels suitable for long-term workshop operation
• Reliable performance under high-frequency and heavy-duty conditions

The cranes have now become key infrastructure ensuring stable production in the new facility.

Project Extension — From One-Time Selection to Long-Term Partnership

Following successful delivery, the client highly recognized the equipment performance and engineering service capability of KUANGSHAN CRANE:

• A new 200-ton overhead crane project for the existing factory is under discussion
• Future factory expansions will continue to adopt KUANGSHAN CRANE lifting equipment

The cooperation has evolved from a single procurement to a long-term strategic partnership.
