WEIHUA supplied five FEM standard 10-ton single girder overhead cranes for a textile factory in Bangladesh, providing reliable material handling for textile production operations. Built to the European FEM design standard, the cranes were installed to move fabric rolls, yarn cones, and packaged raw materials between storage, processing, and dispatch areas, replacing manual and forklift-based handling with overhead lifting that keeps the floor clear for production traffic.

Span, lifting height, and duty class reflect typical configurations for FEM standard 10-ton single girder overhead cranes in textile workshop applications; actual project figures may vary by building layout and should be confirmed against the final equipment drawings.
Textile factories typically move large volumes of fabric rolls, yarn bales, and packaged goods between weaving, storage, and finishing areas. In this project, the factory needed an overhead lifting solution that could handle loads up to 10 tons while working safely above stacked fabric rolls and yarn cones stored on the shop floor. A FEM standard single girder overhead crane was selected because its European-style, lightweight structural design offered enough headroom clearance and lifting capacity for the material handling task, while keeping steel weight and runway loads lower than a conventional crane design. Five units were deployed across the workshop to cover multiple bays and keep material moving between storage, processing, and dispatch areas without bottlenecks.
FEM (Federation Europeenne de la Manutention) is the European design standard widely used for overhead cranes exported to international markets, covering structural design, duty classification, and safety factors. For textile facilities handling palletized fabric rolls and bagged or boxed yarn, a FEM standard 10-ton single girder overhead crane strikes a practical balance: the European-style girder and end carriage design keep the bridge lightweight, which reduces wheel loads on the runway beams and lowers the overall cost of the supporting steel structure, while still meeting international structural and safety requirements. A European-style electric wire rope hoist was paired with the crane for its compact, low-headroom design -- the hoist body sits close to the girder, which maximizes usable lifting height and suits factory buildings with limited under-roof clearance, a common constraint in multi-span textile workshops.
The five cranes installed in this project include:
This configuration lets operators lift a palletized fabric roll or a stack of yarn bales from the storage area, travel it down the length of the workshop, and set it down at the processing line or loading point, all without forklift traffic crossing the production floor.
The installation covers a multi-bay textile workshop where finished fabric rolls, raw material bales, and yarn cones are stored on pallets along the floor. With five cranes running along the crane runways at the building's column lines, each bay has its own overhead coverage, so material can be picked up at one end of a bay and delivered to a different processing or storage zone without repositioning ground vehicles between racks.
The five FEM standard 10-ton single girder overhead cranes now handle the routine movement of fabric rolls, yarn, and packaged materials across the workshop, giving the factory an overhead handling system built to international design standards that keeps the floor open for other equipment and reduces the handling steps between storage and production.
WEIHUA supplies FEM standard single girder and double girder overhead cranes, European-style electric wire rope hoists, and complete crane systems for textile, manufacturing, and warehousing applications worldwide, including projects in Bangladesh and across South Asia.
