5 Ton Jib Crane

Builds and repairs offshore cargo ships and tugboats.

Bangladesh
A mid-sized shipyard in Chittagong, Bangladesh—specializing in the construction and maintenance of offshore cargo vessels and tugboats—has recently experienced a surge in orders. However, its outdated lifting systems and reliance on manual operations hindered production efficiency. In response, the shipyard reached out to Nucleon to explore a more advanced and robust material handling solution.
Key Specifications:
- Maximum Arm Length: 10 meters
- Load Capacity: 0.25 to 5 tons
- Slewing Range: 180°, 270°, or 360°
- Power Supply: 220–690V, 50/60Hz, 3-phase
- Control Options: Pendant and wireless remote control
Project Implementation
- Site Evaluation: Our engineering team conducted a detailed site survey to finalize installation layout and technical parameters.
- Design and Manufacturing: Tailored designs were developed, and production was initiated following strict quality guidelines.
- Quality and Safety Testing: The crane underwent rigorous inspections, including load testing and verification of compliance with international safety standards.
- Certification & Shipment: After receiving all required certifications, the crane was securely packaged and shipped by sea.
During the initial consultation, Ratan, the client's project manager, emphasized key requirements: “The lifting capacity must not be less than 4 tons. It should be easy to operate, ensure high safety, and be able to withstand the harsh salt-laden air during Bangladesh's monsoon season.”
Taking this into account, Nucleon's Sales Manager Hani immediately arranged a cross-functional team meeting involving technical development, engineering, and after-sales service departments. Through a remote video conference, our technical team performed a detailed assessment of the operating environment, lifting demands, and corrosion challenges specific to the shipyard's coastal location.
Based on our analysis, we proposed a 5 ton jib crane, a step up from the client's original expectations. The customized solution was completed within a week and was designed for superior load performance, intuitive control, and long-term durability in corrosive environments.
Upon arrival at the Bangladeshi port, Nucleon's technical team was dispatched for on-site installation and commissioning. We also delivered hands-on training to the shipyard's operational staff to ensure safe and efficient crane use from day one. The client reported a notable increase in operational efficiency since deployment. They highlighted the crane's stability, ease of use, and Nucleon's responsive service. Ratan expressed strong satisfaction and a willingness to pursue future collaborations with Nucleon.
This successful project demonstrates Nucleon's capability to deliver customized, high-performance crane solutions tailored to challenging environments. From technical consultation to post-installation support, our commitment to quality and professionalism has once again earned customer trust—this time at the busy docks of Chittagong.
