Project Overview
- Solution: HSCRANE provided the customer with a customized 2 ton pillar jib crane.
- Location:Bangkok, Thailand.
- Application:Heavy steel structure workshop for material transfer between cutting and welding.
- Challenges:High temperatures and humidity required high-precision, fatigue-resistant equipment.Case study: How HSCRANE’s 2 ton pillar jib crane improved production efficiency for a steel structure plant in Thailand.
Core Customer Needs
The customer previously relied on forklifts for 1.5-ton steel plates. This method caused three major problems:
- Low Efficiency:Production lines often stopped while waiting for available forklifts.
- Safety Risks:Narrow aisles increased the risk of collisions with workers.
- High Damage Rate:Edges of precision-cut steel were easily damaged during forklift loading.
2T Pillar Jib Crane Configuration
We provided a reinforced BZ-type pillar jib crane for high-intensity subtropical conditions.

Why this Pillar Jib Crane Succeeds in Thailand?
- Special Tropical Coating:Surfaces undergo Sa2.5 shot blasting for high-humidity resistance. We use epoxy zinc-rich primers and polyurethane finishes. The total thickness exceeds 120μm to prevent corrosion for ten years.
- Smooth VFD Slewing:We provide VFD control for rotation as a standard feature. This allows the 6-meter arm to start and stop smoothly. It solves alignment difficulties caused by load swinging and inertia.
- Minimal Maintenance Costs:The collector ring system allows 360° rotation without tangling cables. The design is intuitive for local technicians to maintain easily. Only regular lubrication checks are required for long-term operation.
Benefits and Productivity
After three months, the factory manager reported the following improvements:
- Faster Workflow:The production cycle shortened by approximately 25%.
- Reduced Labor:Tasks requiring three people now only need one remote operator.
- Space Optimization:The fixed pillar design freed up two forklift aisles.
HSCRANE Expert Comments
“In Southeast Asia, the 2-ton pillar jib crane is the most cost-effective investment. It is essential for modern lean workshops to reduce heavy labor. We always suggest extra electrical redundancy for harsh tropical climates.”
