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

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.
