01 / PROJECT CONTEXT

The project and its handling task.

Henan Mine Crane built a lower-rotating crane for the Xi’an Aerospace Composite Materials Research Institute. The institute produces solid rocket motor composite casings, nozzles and large composite launch tubes.

The crane completed its load test. Modular design and finite-element structural analysis were combined with a dual-attachment arrangement; the project’s stated control precision is below 1 mm. The lifting and orientation requirements follow the geometry of the composite components.

02 / HANDLING REQUIREMENTS

Rotate composite structures accurately during manufacturing.

Composite aerospace parts can be long, sensitive to local contact and difficult to orient with a fixed hook.

Composite dimensions and mass

Set attachment positions where the composite structure can be lifted safely.

Fixture and lift-point drawings

Check sweep clearance and synchronized motion through the required angle.

Rotation envelope

Approach slowly and confirm alignment before release.

Loaded positioning test method

Approach slowly and confirm alignment before release.

06 / PROJECT OUTCOME

Load test completed.

The crane completed its load-test milestone for the aerospace composite project. Its dual attachments and controlled rotation address positioning and orientation during component handling.

For a similar project, use a lower-rotating crane with a dual-attachment arrangement matched to the actual fixture. Model the structure and verify rotation, load sharing and sub-millimeter control requirements against the test plan.

07 / PLAN A SIMILAR PROJECT

Prepare a comparable crane quotation.

Share the load schedule and site drawings. Use a lower-rotating crane with a dual-attachment arrangement matched to the actual fixture. Model the structure and verify rotation, load sharing and sub-millimeter control requirements against the test plan.

We can quote a single crane or a coordinated fleet. The offer sets out the destination standards, required certificates and inspection records, manufacturing programme after drawing approval, shipment, installation support and agreed acceptance scope.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Questions before specifying a similar crane.

Can the same project crane be supplied for my site?

We customize the capacity, span, lifting height, attachment and controls to the load, building or yard layout and operating cycle. Composite dimensions and mass is one of the inputs to review before final equipment selection.

How are certification, quantity and lead time agreed?

Single-crane and fleet enquiries are welcome. Define the destination and required standards in the enquiry. The project offer confirms certification and inspection documents, the quantity, drawing approval and manufacturing schedule, with the shipping and site-service boundaries.

What should acceptance and after-sales support include?

Agree the inspection plan, representative load and functional tests, operator training, maintenance instructions, spare-parts scope and fault-recovery procedures. For this application, include loaded positioning test method in the technical review.
