Case Study

Moving Equipment to a Small Factory

Tasks of moving

  • Many required man-hours and labor due to carry in and setup by several workers
  • Difficult to complete the work in short delivery time due to holidays and other reasons

Introduce short boom cranes and reduce the number of days of work and costs by half!

Generally the carry-in opening is small and the ceilings are low in a factory, while the passages are narrow and the equipment setup location is also small. Thus rough terrain cranes cannot run in the factory, and labor is required from many workers and many days are needed for carrying in and setting up heavy equipment.

Sun Engineering introduced short boom cranes with low vehicle height and a small operating radius, and thus these cranes can approach the area near the machine installation location. This method reduces labor and required man-hours significantly at the time of carry in and setup and it even halves the number of days of work and costs. It enables work during consecutive holidays and also contributes to reducing the accident rate by reducing the workload, the number of workers and improving safety.

Key Points for Moving

When carrying in a machine

A short boom crane can approach the area near the machine installation location due to its compact size. Because it can also be setup on a small scale, it can drastically reduce the required work time and labor needed for delivery. By utilizing the winch incorporated in the crane, it is possible to reduce time for roller moving.

When installing

Short boom cranes can approach the place near the machine installation location. When the machine is installed on the stand with a different elevation, it can be lifted and dropped in the pit quickly with the crane. Therefore, this can reduce the required work time and labor drastically compared to the method of adjusting the height with a jack.
