Overhead Cranes for Indonesia: Reliable Manufacturer Solutions from Dafang Crane

Indonesia’s industry is developing rapidly, with growing demand for efficient and reliable lifting equipment in sectors such as steel, manufacturing, mining, and ports. The number of local overhead crane suppliers in Indonesia is limited, making imported overhead cranes the primary choice. With its strong manufacturing capabilities, advanced technology, and cost-effective solutions, China has become the largest source of imported overhead cranes for Indonesia.

Considering factors such as production scale, sales, tax contributions, and brand recognition, Dafang Crane ranks among the top 3 in China's overhead crane industry in terms of overall strength. This article will analyze the main industries and commonly used cranes in Indonesia, and introduce the products and services that Dafang Crane provides to Indonesian customers.

Main Industry and Overhead Crane Solutions in Indonesia

The steel, manufacturing, and mining industries are the backbone of Indonesia's economic development, making significant contributions to the country's industrialization and infrastructure construction. In 2024, Indonesia's steel market is valued at approximately USD 12.59 billion, while manufacturing accounts for about 20% of the country's GDP, serving as a key driver of economic growth. The mining sector represents around 8.99% of GDP, with Indonesia holding a global competitive edge in nickel, coal, and other mineral resources. These major industries have strong demand for efficient, safe, and reliable material handling and heavy lifting equipment. Next, we will provide a detailed overview of the types of overhead cranes primarily used in these industries in Indonesia and their specific application scenarios.

Overhead Cranes in the Steelmaking Industry

Ladle Overhead Crane

The ladle overhead crane, also known as the casting bridge crane, is mainly divided into double-girder and four-girder types, with a load capacity of up to 320 tons and an operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.

It is a core piece of equipment in the continuous casting process of steelmaking, primarily used to lift molten iron from the converter to the ladle, or to transfer the ladle to the refining furnace during the refining process. During molten steel handling and continuous casting, the ladle crane efficiently performs tasks such as ladle charging, transportation, and discharging, making it an indispensable heavy lifting device in steel production.

Grab Overhead Cranes

Grab overhead crane is a type of lifting equipment fitted with a grab bucket, which can be either a clamshell grab bucket or a mechanical grab bucket.

In the steel production industry, multi-petal grab cranes are commonly used in scrap yards for handling scrap steel, while grab overhead cranes equipped with clamshell grab buckets are typically employed for slag removal.

Electromagnetic Overhead Cranes

Electromagnetic overhead cranes are generally divided into electromagnetic overhead cranes with chuck and electromagnetic hanging beam overhead cranes.

The electromagnetic overhead crane with chuck is mainly used for handling iron blocks, scrap iron, and scrap steel. In the steelmaking industry, it is commonly applied in scrap yards to grab and transport scrap steel.

The electromagnetic hanging beam overhead crane is suitable for lifting and transporting magnetic materials such as profiles, bars, steel plates, billets, and pipes. In the steelmaking industry, it is primarily used to transfer finished steel plates, billets, and profiles from the roller table to the storage yard.

Coil Handling Overhead Cranes

The overhead crane is specifically designed for the safe lifting, transportation, and positioning of heavy coils. They are equipped with specialized gripping mechanisms, such as C-hooks or coil tongs, which securely hold and maneuver the coils throughout the handling process. Coil handling cranes can also be fitted with intelligent features like load positioning, sway control, and overload protection to ensure efficient and safe movement of the coils. In the steel industry, this overhead crane is primarily used for the loading, unloading, and stacking of steel coils.

Overhead Cranes in the Manufacturing Industry

Single Girder Overhead Crane

Single girder overhead cranes typically use an electric hoist as the lifting mechanism, with a lifting capacity of 1 to 20 tons, and are widely used in the manufacturing industry.

For example, in machinery parts processing plants, single-girder overhead cranes are often used to handle steel plates, bars, and semi-finished components, enabling fast transfer of raw materials to processing stations within the workshop. In assembly workshops, these cranes can accurately lift medium- and small-sized components such as motors, gearboxes, and control cabinets onto the assembly line, significantly reducing manual labor and improving assembly precision. Additionally, they can be integrated with storage and logistics systems for the transfer and stacking of finished and semi-finished products, ensuring efficient internal material flow within the factory.

Double Girder Overhead Crane

Compared with single-girder cranes, double-girder overhead cranes are better suited for heavy-duty operations, with a lifting capacity ranging from 5 to 800 tons.

Double-girder cranes are widely used in machinery manufacturing, for handling machine tool beds, heavy welding fixtures, stamping dies, and assembly components, ensuring efficient continuity of production processes. In steel structure and metal processing plants, they can lift large batches of steel plates, profiles, or welded frames for transfer between cutting, assembly, welding, and coating operations. In the automotive and home appliance industries, double-girder cranes are commonly used for mold changes, handling stamped parts, and transporting large components, meeting the demands of frequent production line changes.

In warehousing and logistics, double-girder cranes can handle large packaged items and heavy pallets, enabling seamless material turnover between production and storage. They can be equipped with features such as main and auxiliary hooks, variable frequency drives, and anti-sway control, making them ideal for workshops that require high precision, efficiency, and safety in lifting operations.

Overhead Cranes in the Mining Industry

Explosion-proof Overhead Crane

Mines that involve hazardous environments such as coal dust, gas, sulfide gases, and combustible dust like coal mines require explosion proof overhead cranes. The motors and electrical components of these cranes are explosion proof, effectively preventing sparks or high temperatures from triggering explosions. They have a lifting capacity of 5 to 100 tons and can be configured as either single girder or double girder cranes.

In coal mines, explosion proof overhead cranes can be used in both underground and surface areas with flammable or explosive conditions such as equipment maintenance workshops, coal preparation plants, compressed air stations, and electrical rooms. They are used for lifting and installing large motors, hydraulic supports, scraper conveyors, crushers, and various spare parts, ensuring safe equipment maintenance and uninterrupted production.
