Client Background
Motivated by the development needs of cargo transshipment operations at its inland river terminal, an Indonesian international logistics company plans to procure a mobile dock crane with a 30-meter working radius, replacing the existing operational model that relies on lifting equipment onboard inland river vessels. The types of cargo to be transshipped at the terminal include:
- Civil daily necessities;
- Bulk dry cargo: mainly coal, grain, chemical fertilizers, and other core categories;
- Special operation objects: inland river patrol vessels (including hoisting and shifting operations);
- Unitized cargo: small containers, frame containers, etc.
This project needs to address the following core issues and challenges:
Existing pain points: The terminal is not equipped with its own lifting equipment and fully relies on the supporting lifting facilities of inland river vessels, resulting in high external dependence and restricted operational efficiency and autonomy.
- Pre-evaluation dimensions: It is necessary to verify the structural bearing capacity of the terminal, count the annual cargo throughput of the terminal, and quantitatively analyze the terminal's operational benefits after equipment investment.
- Requirements for plan formulation: It is necessary to jointly formulate an implementation plan with multiple parties in a coordinated manner, balancing the cost input and benefit returns.
- Long-term considerations: It is necessary to evaluate the company's overall long-term benefits and business development prospects in conjunction with equipment investment.
Solution: YFMMDC2030 dock crane
We custom-deployed two YFMMDC2030 Dock Cranes for them, which are designed for efficient operations in medium-sized ports:
1. Basic Parameters：
- Model: YFMMDC2030
- Rated Lifting Capacity: 20 ton (at 30 m radius)
- Maximum Working Radius: 30 meters
- Minimum Working Radius: 7 meters
- Lifting Height (Above Rail Level): 25 meters
- Lifting Height (Below Rail Level): 15 meters
- Traveling Speed (Main Gantry): 20m/min (max)
- Hoisting Speed: 40 m/min (empty hook) / 20 m/min (rated load)
- Luffing Speed: 80s
2. Structure & Material
- Main beam material: The mobile dock crane adopted Q355B high-strength structural steel (compliant with GB/T 1591-2018);
- Structural protection: Anti-corrosion coating (epoxy zinc-rich primer + polyurethane topcoat), dry film thickness ≥ 250 μm;
- Operating temperature range: -20℃ ~ +50℃ (customizable to adapt to tropical marine environments).
3. Safety & Certification
- Safety devices: The mobile dock crane used an overload protection system, anti-sway device, emergency stop button, and wind speed monitoring device.
- Certification compliance: customizable per client's port authority requirement
- Safety standards: Meets ISO 4301-1:2022 Crane safety - Part 1: General requirements
4. Adapt to the scene
This dock crane is designed for loading and unloading operations of bulk cargo/containers/general cargo in river terminals. The equipment has low energy consumption and easy maintenance, and is suitable for continuous operation in tropical marine environments with high humidity and high salt spray.
