50 Ton Gantry Crane for Tunnel Construction in Russia

In St. Petersburg, addressing complex material-handling challenges in confined underground environments.

Project Overview

The client required a robust crane to manage heavy debris removal and precise component lifting within a high-pressure tunnel environment. Key demands included:

  • 50-ton lifting capacity with compact design for limited space;
  • Resistance to humidity, dust, and continuous operation stress;
  • Compliance with Russian safety and customs regulations.

Engineering & Production

Custom Design

  • Fabricated using S355JR high-strength steel for durability, with corrosion-resistant coating.
  • Modular structure optimized for disassembly, reducing transport costs by 18%.

Smart Features

  • Integrated frequency-controlled hoist for ±5mm positioning accuracy.
  • Dual braking system and overload protection sensors.

Quality Assurance

  • Passed 125% dynamic load testing and ISO 9001-certified inspections.

Efficient Logistics & Installation

  • Transport: Components shipped via sea-rail multimodal routes, with real-time GPS tracking.
  • On-Site Assembly: AICRANE engineers guided local teams to complete assembly in 72 hours.
  • Testing & Training: Conducted rigorous load tests and provided VR simulations for operator certification.

Client Benefits

40% faster debris clearance, enabling round-the-clock operations.

30% lower maintenance costs via IoT remote diagnostics.

Full compliance with EAC/GOST-R standards, streamlining insurance approvals.
