This case study features a 10-ton LD single girder overhead crane manufactured by Nucleon and exported to Vietnam, installed in a textile factory warehouse for daily material handling, yarn and fabric roll lifting, and finished-goods transfer.

Предыстория проекта

The end user operates a textile manufacturing facility in Vietnam, handling raw cotton bales, yarn rolls, and finished fabric within a multi-bay factory and warehouse. Materials were previously moved with a combination of manual trolleys and forklifts, which created bottlenecks during high-volume production periods and posed handling risks around fragile, bagged, and rolled textile goods.

The customer required a single girder overhead crane capable of:

  • Lifting 10-ton loads across the full width of the workshop bay
  • Operating safely above production lines without disrupting floor-level workflow
  • Handling irregular loads (bagged cotton, rolled fabric, palletized goods) with a standard hook
  • Meeting Vietnam's import and installation timelines for a new production season

Challenges

1. Mixed load types in one workshop. The crane needed to handle everything from soft bagged cotton to rigid palletized cargo without damaging goods, calling for a wire rope hoist with smooth lifting speed control rather than a single-speed unit.

2. Overhead clearance constraints. Textile workshops typically have lower usable headroom than heavy-industry plants because of overhead conveyor and cabling systems already installed. The LD single girder design was selected specifically for its lower headroom requirement compared to double girder alternatives at the same 10-ton capacity.

3. Export logistics and delivery timing. As shown in the shipment photos, the crane's main girder, end trucks, and hoist were disassembled, crated, and containerized for road and sea transport, requiring careful packing to protect painted surfaces and electrical components during the Vietnam export process.

Решение

Nucleon supplied a 10-ton LD type single girder overhead crane paired with an electric wire rope hoist, sized to the customer's workshop span and column layout. The single girder structure kept the crane's overall headroom low while still meeting the 10-ton capacity requirement, allowing installation without modifying the existing workshop steelwork.

Key equipment features:

  • Single girder box-type main beam for reduced dead weight and lower headroom versus double girder cranes of equal capacity
  • Electric wire rope hoist with smooth variable lifting speed, suited to mixed textile loads
  • End trucks and travel mechanism matched to the specified workshop rail gauge and span
  • Standard hook lifting for bagged, rolled, and palletized textile materials

After factory testing in China, the crane was disassembled into shippable sections, crated, and loaded onto flatbed trailers for export to Vietnam, where it was reassembled and installed above the customer's warehouse aisle.

Results

Since installation, the crane has been in daily use for moving raw cotton and finished fabric between the receiving area, production floor, and warehouse storage, replacing manual and forklift-based handling for overhead loads and improving material flow through the workshop.

Why LD Single Girder Overhead Cranes Suit Textile Factories

Textile warehouses commonly choose LD type single girder overhead cranes over double girder designs for a few practical reasons:

  • Lower headroom — important in workshops with existing overhead conveyors, lighting, or ducting
  • Lighter structure — reduces load on existing workshop columns and runway beams, useful for retrofits
  • Lower cost per ton of capacity at spans and duty classes typical of light-to-medium manufacturing
  • Sufficient duty class (A4–A5) for the intermittent, non-continuous lifting cycles typical of textile material handling, versus the higher duty classes needed in steel or foundry plants

For Vietnam textile factories in particular, this combination of lower installation cost and headroom-friendly design has made the 10-ton LD single girder overhead crane a common choice for warehouse and production-floor material handling.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What is the difference between an LD single girder overhead crane and a double girder crane? 

An LD single girder overhead crane uses one main beam with the hoist trolley running along its lower flange, giving a lower headroom and lighter structure than a double girder crane of the same capacity. Double girder cranes are generally used for higher capacities, longer spans, or where a larger hook approach on both sides of the beam is required.

Can a 10-ton overhead crane be customized for a specific workshop span? 

Yes. Span, lifting height, and rail gauge are engineered to match the customer's building structure and column spacing before manufacturing.

How long does it take to export and install a crane like this to Vietnam? 

Timelines vary by order volume and shipping method, but typically include manufacturing and factory testing in China, disassembly and export packing, sea or road freight to Vietnam, and on-site reassembly and commissioning. Contact Nucleon for a project-specific schedule.

What load types can this crane handle? 

With a standard hook, the crane is suited to bagged materials, rolled fabric or yarn, palletized goods, and other loads common in textile manufacturing and warehousing.
