European Electric Chain Hoist 5 Ton for Angola Cement Plant

Project Background

Angola’s cement industry is rapidly expanding to support the country’s growing infrastructure and housing needs. Cement plants face frequent challenges in equipment maintenance and material handling, especially in dusty, high-temperature environments. To minimize downtime and ensure safe, efficient lifting, a cement manufacturer in Angola sought a durable, European standard lifting solution.

Customer Pain Points

During the early communication, the client expressed several concerns:

Dust Environment – Cement dust easily damages electrical components and motors.
Frequent Maintenance Work – The plant requires a hoist that can run reliably for long working hours with minimal downtime.
Lifting Height Requirement – Needed a 12m lifting height for equipment maintenance across different workshops.
Durability & Safety – Must comply with European standards, with overload protection and emergency stop features.

Customized Solution

After detailed technical discussions, DQCRANES proposed a customized European Electric Chain Hoist with Motorized Trolley:

1. Capacity: 5 tons
2. Lifting Height: 12 m
3. Lifting Speed: 2.7 m/min (smooth & safe for precise positioning)
4. Traveling Speed: 11 m/min (efficient horizontal movement)
5. Power Supply: 380V/50Hz/3-phase
6. Quantity: 2 Sets
7. Dust Protection: Motor and electrical parts sealed to prevent cement dust intrusion (IP55).
8. Safety Features: Overload limiter, emergency stop, and reliable electromagnetic brake.

This 5 ton electric chain hoist solution ensured both technical compliance and practical reliability for the cement plant’s harsh working conditions.

Why European Electric Chain Hoist?
