Street Cranes in Nigeria

Street Crane is celebrating orders from Wedge Galvanizing and Doman Long Enigneering with a combined value of £300,000.

Wedge Galvanizing has purchased two special 10 tonne double girder cranes for their Worksop plant where they are modernising to increase crane lifting capability and improve material throughput.

The new cranes, each double girder with hoists of 10 tonnes safe working load, will be used in the pre-treatment bay for sequential de-greasing, rinsing and fluxing of components and large structures prior to hot-dip galvanizing.

The new cranes at Worksop join two existing Street units in the pre-treatment workshops. Pendulum crane control has been selected, but provision is included for the installation of radio control in the future.

Commenting on the particular technical requirements in galvanizing operations, Street Crane's sales manager Gus Zona explained, ‘The cranes need to withstand continuous heavy usage in a demanding environment and yet provide flexibility. Hoist mechanisms are therefore rated heavy duty M6/M7.’
