Receive and stage
Identify the segment, spoil container or maintenance load, its rigging, ground access and available assembly area.
INFRASTRUCTURE / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Bridge, Rail and Infrastructure Crane Solutions
Engineer heavy lifts around the construction sequence and temporary works.
Heavy lifting equipment for bridge and rail construction
THE LIFTING SOLUTION
Build the lifting system into the construction sequence.
Bridge, rail and underground projects impose changing lift locations, large components and demanding site conditions. A crane proposal must account for the construction method, foundation or runway capacity, lift path, wind exposure, rigging and the sequence of erection, testing and removal.
The infrastructure solution begins with the largest segment or spoil load and traces its route through site delivery, staging, lifting and placement. Gantry span, lift height, cantilever and runway position are set around the temporary works and available footprint. Rail foundations, wind limits, erection and dismantling are reviewed as part of the crane package. For rail depots and maintenance facilities, bridge cranes are planned separately around vehicle access and service coverage.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Rig and lift
Check center of gravity, lifting points, travel clearance, rail support and weather limits for the planned lift.
Place at the work face
Coordinate crane movement with the tower, shaft, tunnel or depot operation and its exclusion zones.
Move or remove the system
Plan inspection, temporary-works changes, dismantling and any reuse at a later work stage.
HANDLING APPLICATIONS
Different loads call for different lifting arrangements.
Define the material, handling cycle and working zone before fixing the crane arrangement.
Bridge steelwork
Plan girder or tower-segment mass, orientation, tandem lifting and the available assembly envelope.
Tunnel and rail construction
Coordinate excavation spoil, shafts, lifting depth, operating access and site traffic.
Temporary site infrastructure
Validate rail foundations, wind and weather limits, power distribution, erection method and relocation needs.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Temporary works and foundations
The rail and ground design must accept crane wheel loads and construction traffic throughout the lifting period.
Lift geometry under changing conditions
Specify span, hook reach, below-rail depth and wind restrictions from the construction method and sequence.
Erection and relocation
Transport pieces, erection space, proof testing, dismantling and any intended relocation should be defined before procurement.

PROJECT 01
Zhangjinggao Yangtze River Bridge
A 700 t gantry crane for steel-tower construction passed type testing as part of a multiple-crane supply for tower-segment lifting.
PROJECT 02
Guangfo intercity rail construction
Two 100 t double-girder gantry cranes were built for tunnel spoil and material lifting, with a below-rail lifting depth up to 40 m.
PROJECT 03
Lahore Orange Line maintenance
Thirty-two lifting devices were supplied for the rail project's depot and parking areas to support vehicle inspection and maintenance.

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 ↗- 01Maximum segment plus rigging mass and center of gravity
- 02Span, lift height, cantilever and travel length
- 03Foundation and rail loads, wind exposure and site constraints
- 04Lift sequence, synchronization and inspection plan
- 05Mobilization, erection, testing and dismantling requirements
BUYER QUESTIONS
Before the specification is fixed.
What controls the size of a bridge-construction crane?
The heaviest planned segment and rigging, lift geometry, foundation and runway loads, wind limits and erection method all need to be assessed together.
Can a gantry crane move to another project?
Relocation can be considered if the original design, dismantling plan and the new site's geometry, ground bearing and operating conditions are verified.
