Yemen: China-based Yuantai Crane Machinery has delivered and installed a 5t LH series overhead crane with electric hoist trolley to a cement mixing facility in Sana’a, replacing manual chain hoists and forklifts, according to Hoist Magazine.
The plant required a compact crane capable of handling 1t-5t cement bags, mixer covers and maintenance parts. The new crane is capable of lifting up to 5t at 8m/min with 20m/min trolley travel, and operates between 20°C and 40°C. It also meets ISO A4 duty standards. The crane was installed in two days, reducing lift cycle times from 120s to 65s and increasing the plant’s daily handling capacity by 30%.
