A semi gantry crane project delivered to an industrial workshop client in Ecuador — featuring FEM standard electric hoist technology for high-efficiency, low-headroom lifting.
This semi gantry crane project case documents a successful crane export to Ecuador for a machinery manufacturing plant operating a mid-scale industrial workshop. The client required a reliable, space-efficient 10 ton semi gantry crane capable of handling heavy steel components along an existing wall column rail — a classic scenario for the semi gantry crane configuration.
As a leading gantry crane manufacturer in China, our team delivered a complete industrial workshop crane solution — from initial design consultation to on-site installation support — within the agreed project timeline. This semi gantry crane Ecuador installation stands as a strong reference project in the South America crane market.
"The semi gantry crane configuration was the optimal choice: one rail on an existing building column, one on a ground-level runway beam — minimizing civil works while maximizing coverage of the entire workshop floor."

The customer operates a steel fabrication workshop in Ecuador producing structural steel components for local construction projects. Their existing material handling relied on manual forklifts and overhead chain blocks — slow, labor-intensive, and unsuitable for loads exceeding 5 tons.
After a detailed site survey and load analysis, our engineering team proposed a single girder semi gantry crane as the ideal gantry crane for workshop use. The configuration uses the existing wall column as one upper rail support and a dedicated ground-level steel leg on the opposite side — a modular crane design approach that eliminated the need for new building structure.
The hoisting mechanism — the most critical component — was specified as a FEM standard electric hoist (European type), selected for its superior performance characteristics over traditional CD/MD type hoists. This 10 ton semi gantry crane with European electric hoist represents our standard solution for demanding industrial workshop lifting equipment applications.
The European type electric hoist integrated into this electric hoist gantry crane system offers measurable advantages for industrial workshop lifting applications:

Our turnkey crane project approach for this crane installation project Ecuador covered all stages from engineering to commissioning:
The crane installation project Ecuador was completed within the agreed schedule. The successful crane project delivery met all technical requirements confirmed during factory inspection. Post-commissioning performance confirmed the following outcomes:
| 100% Load test passed at 125% SWL | 30% Reduction in material handling cycle time |
| Zero Structural modifications to existing building required | On Time Delivery within agreed project schedule |
"The 10 ton semi gantry crane with European electric hoist exceeded our expectations. The smooth operation and precise positioning made a real difference on the shop floor. The low noise level was also much better than our previous equipment. We are very satisfied with the complete service from engineering to commissioning support."
