Project Background
Back in January 2025, a client based in Mauritius placed an order with Nucleon for two 10-ton HD European single-girder bridge cranes. Their core challenge was handling material lifting inside a workshop with limited overhead clearance. Meanwhile, they also expected the equipment to run efficiently and need minimal routine upkeep.
Our team moved fast to sort out all on-site requirements. The workshop featured tight vertical space, where standard cranes could not fit the headroom limits. As the machines would operate non-stop on a daily basis, solid reliability and cost efficiency were top priorities. Besides, the workplace required low noise levels to ensure a comfortable working environment for staff.
Custom Solutions
Our sales specialists worked alongside in-house engineers and put forward two tailored solutions for the client to choose from.
LD Type Single Girder Electric Overhead Crane
This model adopts a straightforward structure and comes fitted with CD1/MD1 wire rope electric hoists. It is a budget-friendly pick with low upfront costs, perfectly suited for clients working with constrained project budgets.
Standard Features:
Fixed-speed motor drive;
Traditional lubrication system, requiring regular maintenance;
Operating noise: around 85 dB;
Bulky main beam that takes up extra vertical space.
HD Type European Single Girder Bridge Crane
Built in line with European FEM standards and paired with premium NR European electric hoists, this model delivers outstanding long-term value. While its upfront cost is roughly 18% higher, it helps cut total spending across the entire service lifespan.
High-Performance Features:
Full variable frequency stepless speed control, delivering 30% energy savings;
Maintenance-free gear motor with IP55 protection rating;
Ultra-low noise operation at 75 dB or below;
Compact build that cuts required headroom by 15%.
Cost & Benefit Comparison
Though the HD model demands a slightly higher initial investment, it proves far more economical over time.
1.The LD crane works well for light-duty use and short-term projects;
2.The HD crane brings greater investment returns for frequent, high-intensity operation;
3.Maintenance expenses of the HD model are 40% lower than the LD type;
4.Integrated inverter and high-efficiency motors reduce energy use by 30%;
5.Service life extends to 15 years, compared to 10 years for conventional cranes.
The client finally settled on the HD solution. All units have passed factory acceptance tests. The actual required headroom is only 1.2 meters, versus 1.8 meters for traditional cranes, which fits the workshop’s operating conditions perfectly.
Technical Parameters:
-Project Location: Mauritius
-Rated Capacity: 10 tons
-Span: 24.8 m
-Lifting Height: 2.6 m
-Working Class: A5
-Power Supply: 380V/50Hz/3-Phase
Client Feedback
The client is highly satisfied with our products and service. They have invited our team to design a full set of lifting solutions for their upcoming new factory.
Project Summary
The whole project, from contract signing through to on-site installation and final acceptance, was completed in just 30 days, setting a new delivery benchmark for our European-style overhead crane projects.
We greatly appreciate the client’s trust and full cooperation. They coordinated closely with our technical team to finish site surveys and confirm all technical details within 24 hours, greatly accelerating project progress. Throughout implementation, they fully recognized and supported every technical adjustment we made.
To live up to this trust, we assigned a dedicated project team and launched a 24/7 after-sales support service for this project.
