ES Project Overview
Our Kenyan client, a professional manufacturer in the steel fabrication industry, required a reliable lifting solution to enhance their workshop efficiency. Instead of purchasing complete overhead crane systems, they opted for wire rope hoists and steel C-track cable festoon systems only, as they had already prepared the main girders and end carriages locally.
Supplied Equipment:
- 3 sets of double speed 5 ton wire rope hoists (lifting height: 6 meters)
- 2 sets of 10 ton double speed wire rope hoists (lifting height: 6 meters)
- Steel C-Tracks & Cable Festoon Systems for each hoist and spare parts
Client Requirements
The main goal was to supply high-performance hoists capable of smooth and precise lifting, while ensuring durability and easy integration into the customer’s existing crane structures.
The client prioritized:
Smooth operation for delicate and heavy loads
Long service life with minimal maintenance
Ease of installation on their in-house fabricated beams
Reliable power supply system with steel C-tracks and festoon cables
Typical Configuration
- Product: wire rope hoist with trolley
- Rated hook capacity: 5 tons and 10 tons
- Lifting height: 6m
- Lifting speed (fast/slow): 8.0 / 0.8 m/min (8t), 7.0 / 0.7 m/min (10t)
- Power supply: 3-phase, 415 V / 50 Hz
- Control: Pendant control
- Packaging: Wooden crate / wooden pallet with moisture-proof treatment
Key Features of the Supplied Hoists
- Double Speed Lifting – Allows operators to choose between high speed for efficiency and low speed for precision.
- High-Strength Wire Rope – Ensures safe lifting for long-term heavy-duty use.
- Compact Design – Saves headroom and maximizes lifting height within the workshop space.
- Durable Components – High-quality motor and gearbox for long service life.
- Steel C-Track Cable Festoon System – Ensures smooth trolley movement and safe cable management.
Included documents: Packing list, certificate of conformity, English user and maintenance manual, electrical wiring diagram
Project Highlights and Advantages
- Customized Delivery: Customers can choose to purchase only the wire rope hoists and power supply system, reducing shipping volume and costs and facilitating on-site utilization of existing steel structures or locally welded main beams.

FAQs
Can I buy the hoist without the crane structure?
- Yes. We can supply hoists, trolley systems, and festoon power supply systems separately, so you can install them on your crane beams or structures.
Are your hoists compliant with international standards?
- Yes. Our electric wire rope hoists are manufactured to FEM and ISO standards and are CE certified for quality and safety.
Do you provide installation support?
- We offer detailed installation manuals, wiring diagrams, and online technical guidance. For large-scale projects, we can arrange on-site installation supervision.
What’s the delivery time to Africa?
- For standard models, production takes 15–25 days. Shipping to Kenya usually takes 25–35 days by sea, depending on the port.
