HSCRANE Heavy-duty Gantry Crane Helps Heavy Equipment Lifting in Qatar

As an emerging industrial country in the Middle East, Qatar has rapidly developed its heavy industry sector in recent years. The Doha Industrial Area serves as the country’s core heavy industrial base, gathering numerous petrochemical and heavy equipment manufacturing enterprises. Demand for lifting and transferring heavy materials and equipment is consistently strong. A large petrochemical equipment manufacturer established a new production base in this industrial zone and required a large-span heavy-duty gantry crane for lifting heavy equipment components, transferring finished products, and handling raw materials. The crane needed to provide high strength, high stability, and precise control, while adapting to the region’s windy and sandy environment. It also had to comply with Qatar’s industrial safety standards.

After extensive evaluation and comparison, the client selected HSCRANE’s customized large-span heavy-duty gantry crane solution to provide comprehensive lifting support for the new production base.

Core Project Requirements and Operational Challenges

The company mainly manufactures large-scale petrochemical equipment, with individual components weighing up to 70 tons. The gantry crane was required to perform three primary tasks:

●Precise lifting and positioning of heavy equipment components

●Transfer and loading/unloading of finished equipment

●Batch handling of raw materials

Client Core Requirements

●Equipment specifications: Span not less than 40 m; rated lifting capacity not less than 70 t; maximum lifting height of 16 m to meet heavy component and finished product lifting needs.

●Performance requirements: Stable operation and precise control, with positioning accuracy ≤ 2 mm to ensure correct installation and avoid affecting product quality.

●Environmental adaptability: Suitable for frequent sandstorms and gusty winds, with strong wind resistance, dust protection, and corrosion resistance. Low failure rate and convenient maintenance were required.

●Safety requirements: Comprehensive safety protection system compliant with Qatar industrial safety standards to ensure operator and equipment safety.

●Timeline requirements: Controlled production, transportation, and installation schedule to avoid delaying construction of the production base and ensure rapid commissioning.

Project Challenges

The industrial area experiences frequent sandstorms and gusts, with wind speeds reaching up to 25 m/s. This imposed extremely high requirements on structural stability and wind resistance. Ordinary gantry cranes may suffer from swaying and displacement under such conditions.

High precision was required for lifting and positioning heavy equipment components. Even slight positioning errors could cause installation failure and production delays.

The crane featured a large span and heavy weight, increasing transportation and installation complexity. Modular design optimization and coordination of international logistics and on-site assembly were essential.

Heavy-Duty Gantry Crane Specifications

Based on the client’s requirements and project challenges, HSCRANE customized a large-span heavy-duty gantry crane featuring a double box-girder structure. Wind resistance, dust protection, and precision control performance were specifically optimized.

Project Implementation Results

During implementation, HSCRANE strictly followed the client’s requirements and Qatar industrial standards throughout production, testing, transportation, and installation.

After manufacturing was completed, multiple rounds of rigorous inspections ensured that all parameters met standards and quality requirements. During transportation, the equipment was transshipped via Port of Doha and delivered precisely to the Doha Industrial Area. Transportation progress was closely monitored to prevent damage.

During installation and commissioning, engineers provided full on-site support, cooperating with the local construction team to efficiently complete installation, testing, and operator training—without delaying the construction schedule of the production base.
