40 Ton Truss Gantry Crane Exported to Kazakhstan for Steel Structure Handling

Project Background

HSCRANE recently exported a 40-ton truss gantry crane to a major steel structure manufacturer in Kazakhstan. This equipment handles open-air loading and transport of steel components, bridge parts, and large steel materials. The client’s site faces frequent high winds, extreme temperature fluctuations, and complex outdoor conditions. Therefore, they required high stability, wind resistance, and operational efficiency.

Kazakhstan is a vital Central Asian market for industrial and infrastructure growth. Demand for bridge construction, mining equipment, and steel engineering is rising steadily. The client previously relied on mobile cranes, which incurred high costs and low efficiency. After comparing multiple suppliers, they chose the customized 40-ton truss gantry crane solution from HSCRANE. In this region, truss structures are preferred for their light weight and superior wind resistance.

Client Requirement Analysis

The client primarily handles the following items:

• Large steel beams and structural components
• Precast bridge segments
• Heavy machinery parts
• Long steel materials and processed goods

For long-term outdoor operation, the client emphasized several key requirements:

• Strong wind resistance to withstand harsh local weather.
• Large span design to cover multiple storage yard areas.
• Stable operation and easy maintenance.
• Reduced equipment deadweight to lower foundation construction costs.

Based on these needs, HSCRANE recommended a double-girder truss gantry crane. Compared to box structures, the truss design offers lighter weight and lower wind resistance. It is ideal for large-span, open-air applications due to its ease of transport and installation.

Technical Parameters: 40-Ton Truss Gantry Crane

HSCRANE customized the following solution based on the client’s site conditions and lifting frequency:

For Kazakhstan’s winter, the electrical system uses low-temperature components and anti-freeze cable protection. This ensures stable operation in extreme cold.

Equipment Solution and Installation Process

During implementation, HSCRANE analyzed site conditions, including rail layout, yard size, and foundation capacity. Engineers optimized the truss main girder for the large-span outdoor environment. This design maintains structural strength while reducing weight and improving wind stability.

Thetruss gantry crane was shipped in modules via sea freight and installed by a local team. The 20-day installation period included:

• Main gantry assembly
• Main girder connection
• Electrical system commissioning
• No-load and load trial runs
• Safety performance testing

During load tests, the crane successfully lifted the 40-ton rated load. All mechanisms operated smoothly with precise positioning, meeting all production requirements.

Project Outcomes and Client Feedback

Since deployment, the storage yard’s lifting efficiency has improved significantly. Compared to previous mobile crane operations:

• Material handling efficiency increased by approximately 40%.
• Labor and equipment rental costs decreased substantially.
• Stability during open-air operations improved.
• Large steel structure transport is now safer and more efficient.

The client specifically praised the truss structure’s performance in strong winds. They also valued the dual control mode (wireless remote and cabin), which enhances operational flexibility.

Successful delivery of this 40-ton truss gantry crane optimized the client’s production workflow. It further demonstrates HSCRANE’s expertise in large-scale non-standard gantry crane customization. Moving forward, HSCRANE remains committed to providing efficient lifting solutions for Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and global industrial markets.
