Custom 16 Ton Electric Chain Hoist + Portable Gantry Crane – Successfully Delivered to a Brazilian Client (220V/60Hz)
We are pleased to share a recent successful custom project for a client in Brazil. The application required a heavy lifting solution that also offers portability – combining a 16 ton electric chain hoist with a matching portable gantry crane, with a lifting height of 6 meters.
Key Technical Specifications
Lifting capacity: 16 tons
Lifting height: 6 meters
Power supply: Single phase 220V / 60Hz (customized for Brazil’s local power grid)
Hoist type: Electric chain hoist, smooth operation with precise control
Structure: Designed to work with a portable gantry crane, suitable for flexible on-site movement
Typical Use Cases
This solution is ideal for:
Outdoor jobs where the workshop has no load-bearing structure
Covering large areas in storage yards or loading zones
Mobile and fast deployment lifting needs
A lower cost alternative to fixed overhead cranes
Custom voltage, span, lifting height or other non-standard requirements
Heavy loads such as steel, molds, concrete components, and equipment installation
1. Common Customer Needs
From serving global customers, we often hear these requirements:
Outdoor use without existing overhead crane rails
Large span coverage for stockyards
Movable lifting system
Budget friendly alternative to bridge cranes
Custom voltage, span, lifting height
Suitable for steel, molds, concrete parts, equipment installation
This 16 ton portable gantry with electric hoist is a real life example that meets all the needs above.
2. Common Problems Buyers Face
Many buyers run into these issues when purchasing gantry cranes:
Not sure whether to choose single girder or double girder
Unsure about rail mounted vs. tyre mounted
Overlooking ground foundation and rail requirements
Focusing only on price, ignoring duty cycle and frequency of use
Not confirming power source, voltage, or site space
Forgetting to budget for shipping and installation
We recommend that customers talk to our technical team early in the project to avoid extra costs or rework later.
3. Common Mistakes When Buying a Gantry Crane
Based on years of experience, these mistakes often lead to poor decisions:
Getting a quote only by tonnage, without confirming span and lifting height
Assuming any gantry crane can be used outdoors for a long time
Ignoring anti-wind devices (especially for outdoor conditions)
Overlooking long term maintenance costs
Not confirming customs clearance, shipping, and installation methods
For every solution we provide, we offer complete selection advice based on the working environment, frequency, and site conditions, and we help customers plan shipping and installation.
