Receive and identify
Capture the part or plate size, weight, fixture and destination so the correct handling method is selected.
FACTORY & WAREHOUSE / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Industrial Manufacturing and Automated Warehouse Crane Solutions
Make the crane part of the production flow, not a bottleneck above it.
Production cranes configured for real factory workflows
THE LIFTING SOLUTION
Connect the workstations without interrupting production flow.
Factory cranes move components between receiving, processing, assembly and dispatch. The right solution balances lift capacity with station coverage, cycle time, load tracking, maintenance access and integration with production or warehouse control systems.
The factory solution maps each lift from receiving through processing, assembly, storage and dispatch. Crane coverage and hook approach are set by the workstation positions, while the attachment is chosen for the actual parts or plates. Where repetitive storage is automated, load identity, destinations, route rules and exception recovery are linked to the physical crane movement. Heavy assembly lifts remain planned operations with suitable low-speed control and building support.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Feed production stations
Place loads within the required machine or assembly envelope without blocking adjacent routes and work areas.
Store or sequence
For automated cells, connect load identification, position data and stacking rules to the crane task.
Dispatch and recover
Provide the outbound handling route and a defined method for interrupted or exceptional moves.
HANDLING APPLICATIONS
Different loads call for different lifting arrangements.
Define the material, handling cycle and working zone before fixing the crane arrangement.
Production line transfer
Choose coverage, hook approach and attachment for each station, including fixtures and production equipment access.
Automated storage
Define load identification, stacking positions, collision zones, task scheduling and recovery procedures before automation.
Heavy equipment assembly
Review tandem lifts, building interface and low-speed positioning for large fabricated or machined components.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Coverage and duty
Size the crane from the station map, typical and maximum loads, cycle times and shifts rather than from peak capacity alone.
Building integration
Check runway support, wheel loads, headroom, maintenance access and possible future line changes early in the layout.
Automation boundaries
Define which tasks are automatic, what the system must sense, how operators intervene and how the warehouse or production system exchanges data.

PROJECT 01
XCMG equipment production
More than 300 cranes were supplied to XCMG for assembly and structural production transfers.
PROJECT 02
Automated steel-plate warehouse
The tested warehouse crane covers vehicle recognition, plate identification, coding and automated unloading, turning, sequencing, stacking and restacking.
PROJECT 03
Automated production-line supply
More than 150 cranes were supplied for a factory production-line project, including two 100 t intelligent cranes with work-position recognition and crane-position tracking.
RELEVANT EQUIPMENT

These product families support the handling tasks above. The final crane and attachment are selected from the site brief.
SPECIFICATION BRIEF
What we need to size your crane.
Send the operating brief and the relevant layout drawings. The resulting proposal can address capacity, geometry, duty, controls, installation interface and safety requirements as one system.
Prepare your enquiry ↗- 01Load mix, maximum mass and dedicated lifting fixtures
- 02Station-to-station travel path and cycle time
- 03Available building height, runway support and service access
- 04Required automation, identification and production-system interfaces
- 05Shift pattern, maintenance windows and future expansion
BUYER QUESTIONS
Before the specification is fixed.
What should be defined before automating a warehouse crane?
Document the load identities, storage map, route rules, sensing, collision zones, manual recovery and interface to the warehouse management system.
How should duty be stated for production cranes?
Provide expected lifts per hour, typical and maximum loads, shifts and travel distances. Capacity alone does not describe the work cycle.
