Crane Fleet for Trenchless Equipment Manufacturing
Large-capacity overhead cranes installed in a heavy equipment manufacturing facility.
Manufacturers of pipe-jacking and trenchless construction equipment need cranes that can handle large frames, cutterheads, drive assemblies and fabricated structures throughout welding, machining and final assembly.
Henan Mine Crane supplied more than 100 large-capacity, green and energy-efficient cranes for Tangxing Equipment's trenchless-equipment industrial park. The source states that the site covers more than 40,000 m² and uses 25 m-high heavy steel workshops.
Project Background
The crane fleet supports production of pipe-jacking boring machines and is reported to help the project reach annual output of 500 sets.
For a large heavy-machinery factory, crane planning should cover each production bay, hook approach, assembly height, handling route, component weight, maintenance access and the future production mix.
Customer Challenges
- Handling large fabricated frames and heavy machinery components inside tall workshops.
- Coordinating more than 100 cranes across a large manufacturing park.
- Maintaining stable travel and accurate positioning through assembly operations.
- Standardizing wheel, drive and maintenance components across the fleet.
- Supporting higher production output without creating material-handling bottlenecks.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
Henan Mine Crane supplied a large fleet of heavy-duty cranes matched to the different production areas. The source highlights smooth operation and accurate positioning in the 25 m-high heavy steel workshops.
The complete product line uses Henan Mine Crane's independently developed high-density crane wheels manufactured with near-net-shape forming technology.
For a similar heavy-machinery plant, the crane schedule can standardize common components while capacities, hooks and handling devices are customized for each workstation.

Why Choose Henan Mine Crane
- Henan Mine Crane can plan crane fleets for complete heavy-equipment factories.
- Capacity and hook configuration can be matched to each assembly station rather than standardized blindly.
- Common wheels, controls and electrical components can reduce lifecycle maintenance complexity.
- Project delivery can be coordinated with factory construction and production ramp-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cranes does a heavy-equipment manufacturing plant need?
The number depends on production bays, takt, crane sharing, maximum travel distance and whether critical stations need dedicated cranes. A material-flow study is more useful than a simple cranes-per-area rule.
What should be standardized across a large crane fleet?
Consider common drives, motors, brakes, wheels, electrical components, control philosophy and spare parts while keeping capacity and lifting attachments station-specific.
What information is required for a heavy-machinery factory crane proposal?
Provide plant layout, crane schedule, component weights and dimensions, assembly heights, span, lifting height, duty, speeds, control preferences and installation timeline.
