- Client: Leading Industrial Manufacturer
- Product: FEM Standard 15 Ton Electric Wire RopeHoist
- Application: Heavy-duty equipment assembly line
Project Overview
In a strategic move to enhance material handling efficiency, a major manufacturing plant in Santo Domingo, DR, partnered with DQCRANES for the supply and delivery of a 15-ton FEM standard electric hoist. The client’s primary goal was to upgrade their overhead crane system with European-standard hoisting equipment to improve operational reliability and meet growing production demands.
Electric Hoist Details
- Product Type: FEM Standard wire rope hoist
- Rated Capacity: 15 tons
- Lifting Height: 6 meters
- Lifting Speed: Dual speed – 0.7 / 4.0 m/min
- Traveling Speed: Variable – 2 to 20 m/min
- Duty Group: FEM 2m / ISO M5
- Power supply: 220V/3Phase/60Hz
- Motor: IP54, insulation class F
- Control system: Pendent control & Wireless remote control
Why the Client Chose DQCRANES?
The client conducted a detailed market evaluation and selected DQCRANES based on the following strengths:
- FEM-compliant engineering with European quality standards
- Customized specifications for lifting speed, travel speed, and duty cycle
- Enhanced operational safety with fail-safe mechanisms and overload protection.
- Optimized maintenance intervals thanks to robust build quality.
- Strong delivery capability
- Proven after-sales support
- Excellent price-performance ratio
Challenges and Solutions
- Space Constraints: DQCRANES customized the 15 ton electric rope hoist’s dimensions to fit the plant’s layout, integrating it seamlessly with existing infrastructure.
- Logistical Complexity: Coordinated shipping via specialized freight partners ensured timely delivery through Santo Domingo’s port, navigating customs and local regulations efficiently.
- Minimized Downtime: Installation was scheduled during planned maintenance periods, with a dedicated team completing setup swiftly to avoid production delays.
- Compliance Assurance: The hoist adhered to both FEM and Dominican safety standards, with documentation translated into Spanish for clarity.
Installation & Commissioning
The 15 ton electric hoist with remote control was shipped from DQCRANES’ manufacturing base and delivered to the client’s facility in Santo Domingo via multimodal transport. Upon arrival, the hoist was:
- Installed on an existing overhead crane structure
- Fully tested and commissioned by a local certified team
- Integrated with the factory’s control system
- Verified for load testing, operational safety, and lifting performance
The variable speed control system (VFD) allowed smooth and accurate load positioning, improving assembly line workflow.
Results and Benefits
- Enhanced Productivity: Dual-speed functionality reduced load-handling time by 30%, while variable traveling speeds optimized workflow.
- Improved Safety: Advanced safety features decreased incident risks, aligning with the plant’s zero-accident policy.
- Operational Reliability: The hoist’s robust design reduced maintenance needs, ensuring consistent performance under heavy use.
Client Feedback
“We’re impressed by the performance and smooth control of the hoist system. DQCRANES delivered exactly what we needed, on time and within budget. It’s a great investment for our operations.”
