Case Study: Conquering the Elements – Dongqi Crane’s Outdoor MH Gantry Cranes Empower Moroccan Operations

Introduction

In 2025, Dongqi Crane undertook a project that tested not just our engineering prowess but our ability to deliver resilience. For a client in Morocco, we supplied and installed two robust MH-type 25-ton Gantry Cranes, designed from the ground up for demanding outdoor operation. This case study goes beyond the specs, highlighting how we provide solutions that stand firm against the challenges of open-air environments.

Project Overview: The Outdoor Challenge

Our client required reliable and powerful lifting equipment for their outdoor yard or storage facility. The cranes needed to be more than just powerful; they had to be durable, weather-resistant, and safe for continuous use under the open sky. Dongqi Crane responded with a customized outdoor-grade solution.

Key Crane Specifications & Outdoor Adaptations:

• Type: MH Type Single Girder Gantry Crane (Outdoor Grade)
• Capacity: 25 Tons
• Span: 20 Meters
• Lifting Height: 6 Meters
• Power Supply: 380V, 50Hz, 3-Phase
• Critical Outdoor Features:
  • Weatherproofing: Electrical components housed in IP54 or higher rated enclosures to protect against dust and rain.
  • Corrosion Protection: Enhanced paint system with primer and anti-corrosion topcoats to withstand outdoor exposure.
  • Wind Resistance: Structural design and optional anti-sway systems to ensure stability in windy conditions.
  • Outdoor Travel: Robust wheels and track system designed for stable operation on outdoor rails or ground surfaces.

From Design to Reality: On-Site Installation in Morocco

Understanding that outdoor installation presents unique challenges, Dongqi Crane deployed a team of expert engineers to Morocco. Our hands-on support was crucial for:

• Precise Ground Assembly: Ensuring the gantry structure was perfectly aligned on its outdoor runway tracks, a critical factor for smooth long-term operation.
• Weather-Sealed Integration: Meticulously installing and sealing all electrical panels and cable connections to meet outdoor environmental standards.
• Rigorous Field Testing: Conducting comprehensive load and functional tests in the actual outdoor environment to guarantee performance and safety under real conditions.
• Knowledge Transfer: Training the client’s operators on the specific features and maintenance routines essential for outdoor crane care.

Documenting the Build: A Testament to Durability

Our engineers captured detailed photos and videos throughout the installation. These visuals powerfully showcase the crane’s substantial outdoor construction and the professional execution of the assembly process against the backdrop of the client’s facility—serving as authentic proof of capability for future clients facing similar outdoor challenges.

Conclusion: Delivering More Than a Crane

The successful deployment of these two outdoor MH gantry cranes in Morocco underscores Dongqi Crane’s commitment to providing complete environmental solutions. We don’t just sell cranes; we engineer partners for productivity that are built to endure. This project exemplifies our capacity to support global industries with equipment that performs reliably, whether inside a workshop or under the vast open sky.
