Yuantai Crane supplied two 6-ton NR European wire rope hoists to an EPCC contractor for an end user’s equipment maintenance workshop in Uzbekistan. Each hoist has a lifting height of 6 m and operates independently.
Following installation and commissioning with remote technical assistance from Yuantai Crane, both units are now in operation. The contractor reports that the end user is very satisfied and has indicated plans to purchase another three to five NR hoists for other end-user projects by the end of 2026.
Project Background: Hoists Procured for a Maintenance Workshop
Our client is an established EPCC contractor delivering integrated engineering solutions across complex infrastructure and industrial developments in Central Asia. For this project, the contractor needed to equip their client’s new maintenance facility with heavy-duty overhead lifting capacity.
In this supply arrangement, Yuantai Crane served as the direct equipment manufacturer, supplying the EPCC contractor with dual NR series hoists, who then installed them in the end user’s facility in Uzbekistan.
Equipment maintenance workshops require controlled, safe lifting to handle heavy machinery parts, structural components, and tooling during routine inspection, overhaul, and reassembly. Unlike high-cycle production cranes running fixed routes, maintenance cranes prioritize positional control, smooth start-stop dynamics, and long-term component reliability so technicians can position components into place without sudden impacts.
To meet these conditions, we recommend two NR series European wire rope hoists. Each hoist operates independently on its respective beam system within the workshop, offering full operational flexibility across different bays.

Why This Configuration Fits the Maintenance Workshop
Selecting lifting equipment for a maintenance environment requires balancing structural duty ratings, speed regulation, and operator safety. We tailored the NR series configuration to match the functional demands of the Uzbek facility:
Variable-Frequency Speeds for Controlled Lifting and Positioning
Maintenance lifting frequently involves two distinct operational phases: long-distance transit across the workshop floor and slow, high-precision placement near equipment mounts or foundation bolts.
Lifting Speed (0.7–4 m/min): Variable-frequency drive (VFD) technology enables smooth acceleration and deceleration curves. The lower speed boundary (0.7 m/min) gives operators precise control when unbolting, aligning, or seating heavy mechanical parts. The upper boundary (4 m/min) reduces wait times during vertical travel over the 6-meter lift height.
Trolley Traveling Speed (2–20 m/min): Stepless VFD speed regulation on horizontal travel reduces load swing during acceleration and braking. Smooth cross-travel movement helps keep suspended loads stable while traversing across the workshop bay.
Independent Bay Flexibility
Operating independently, each hoist handles distinct workstations across the shop floor. This setup gives technicians maximum operational flexibility to run maintenance routines simultaneously in different bays.
Pendant and Wireless Remote Control Options
We supplied each hoist with dual operating interfaces:
Ergonomic Wired Pendant: Mounted directly for close-range manual operation.
Industrial Wireless Remote Control: Allows the operator to stand clear of the load path, maintaining optimal sightlines during high-clearance lifting maneuvers or while navigating around floor-mounted workshop machinery.
Installation and Commissioning with Remote Technical Assistance
Deploying lifting equipment for international projects often comes with scheduling and budget constraints. To help clients optimize timelines and control costs, Yuantai Crane combines modular, pre-tested equipment with direct remote technical support, enabling overseas teams to install and commission machinery efficiently without waiting for our technicians on-site.
For this project in Uzbekistan, the installation and startup proceeded seamlessly:
Factory Pre-Testing & Labeling: Before dispatch, all mechanical modules, electrical cabinets, and controls were pre-wired, tested, and clearly labeled. Complete wiring diagrams and step-by-step assembly guides were supplied for the local crew.
Mechanical & Electrical Assembly: The contractor’s local team mounted the two NR hoists onto the support beams, connected the 380V/50Hz/3Ph power supply, and installed trolley travel stops per our technical drawings.
Real-Time Remote Guidance: Our senior engineering team provided direct support via video calls and digital messaging—guiding local technicians through phase sequence checks, limit switch calibration, VFD parameter tuning, and load testing.
Efficient Commissioning & Handover: With clear factory documentation and interactive remote assistance, the local team completed commissioning ahead of schedule, placing both units into full daily operation.
By leveraging Yuantai Crane’s remote support, international clients eliminate expensive engineer travel fees, accommodation costs, and dispatch delays while ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective equipment startup.
End-User Feedback and Planned Follow-Up Orders
Since going into active service, the two 6 ton NR hoists have delivered consistent, low-maintenance performance during daily lifting tasks.
According to feedback from the purchasing contractor, the end user is thoroughly satisfied with the operation, control precision, and overall build quality of our European wire rope hoists. Smooth variable-frequency start-stops have made component handling safer and simpler for local workshop technicians.
Building on the success of this installation, the contractor has confirmed plans to place a follow-up order with us for 3 to 5 additional NR European wire rope hoists by the end of the year to equip upcoming industrial and infrastructure projects across their regional portfolio.
European Electric Hoist Options for Projects in Uzbekistan
While this project utilized 6-ton NR wire rope hoists, industrial facilities across Uzbekistan require a range of lifting capacities, speeds, and structural designs depending on duty cycles and building parameters. We manufacture a complete line of European electric hoists to support contractor and facility requirements across Central Asia.
European Electric Wire Rope Hoists
For medium-to-heavy industrial applications, our European-style wire rope hoists offer high duty ratings (M5/M6), compact headroom designs, and modular component structures.
- Capacity Range: Typically from 1 ton up to 80 tons.
- Key Advantages: Standard double speed/variable-frequency drives, low headroom clearance, long wire rope service life, and high motor protection ratings (IP55).
- Ideal Applications: Heavy equipment maintenance workshops, manufacturing plant floors, power generation facilities, and warehouse bridge cranes.
European Electric Chain Hoists
For lighter capacity requirements, localized workstation lifting, or tight spatial constraints, our European electric chain hoists offer a compact, economical alternative.
- Capacity Range: Typically from 250 kg up to 20 tons.
- Key Advantages: Compact alloy casing, precision load chain guides, friction torque limiters for overload protection, and flexible suspension options (top hook, push trolley, or motorized trolley).
- Ideal Applications: Assembly stations, small repair bays, jig and tool handling, and monorail process lines.
