Metro Depot Maintenance Crane Fleet for Lahore Orange Line
Featured source image associated with the Lahore Orange Line Metro operation and maintenance project.
Metro depots need reliable cranes for bogies, motors, wheelsets, maintenance tools and other vehicle-service loads. A fleet project should cover inspection bays, maintenance workshops and parking facilities while standardizing spare parts and operating methods.
Henan Mine Crane supplied 32 crane sets of different types for the Lahore Orange Line Metro project in Pakistan. The source states that the cranes were installed in the depot and parking yard and are mainly used for vehicle inspection, maintenance and commissioning.
Project Background
The Lahore Orange Line is a 27 km urban rail project with 26 stations. After line opening, depot cranes become long-term maintenance assets rather than temporary construction equipment.
Procurement should therefore focus on maintenance load cases, hook approach around rail vehicles, lifting height, workshop span, duty cycle, control mode, spare parts and safe access for long-term servicing.
Customer Challenges
- Supporting multiple rail-vehicle maintenance tasks across depot workshops.
- Coordinating 32 cranes of different types and capacities.
- Providing accurate hook access around trains, bogies and maintenance pits.
- Standardizing controls and spare parts for long-term metro operation.
- Ensuring maintainability and safe inspection access over the equipment lifecycle.
- Supporting overseas project commissioning and local maintenance requirements.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The referenced project uses 32 crane sets distributed across the vehicle depot and parking facilities. The cranes support train inspection, maintenance and commissioning during line operation.
For a new metro depot, Henan Mine Crane can build a crane schedule by maintenance bay, identifying the heaviest component and required hook position for each workstation.
Common control components, brakes, motors and documentation can be standardized across the fleet while crane capacity and lifting arrangement remain specific to each bay.
