In 2018, Shunfa Crane delivered a QDO 160/32t general overhead crane for Taishan Ping’an Hardware. The crane was installed inside a steel-structured workshop to support heavy material handling and daily industrial production.
With a 24m span, 14m lifting height, and A5 duty class, this project demonstrates Shunfa Crane’s capability in heavy-duty overhead crane design, manufacturing, and workshop installation.

Project Background
Heavy manufacturing workshops require lifting equipment that can move large and dense materials safely across the production bay. For a 160/32t lifting requirement, the bridge structure, hoisting system, runway alignment, and electrical control system must be designed for stable long-term operation.
Taishan Ping’an Hardware needed a reliable overhead crane solution for heavy material handling in its workshop. The crane had to provide enough lifting capacity, span coverage, and operating reliability for regular industrial production.
Shunfa Crane Solution
Shunfa provided a QDO general overhead crane with a 160/32t lifting configuration. The crane uses a 160t main hook for heavy lifting and a 32t auxiliary hook for secondary lifting tasks.
The installed crane covers a 24m workshop span and provides a 14m lifting height. Its A5 duty class makes it suitable for regular industrial handling in a demanding production environment.

Additional buyer notes before requesting a quote
A practical 160 ton overhead crane project decision should start from the real work area, not from a model name alone. The load path, available headroom, nearby equipment, operator position and maintenance access all shape whether the crane will feel efficient after installation.
Before publishing this guide, the content was expanded to make the article more useful for buyers who are comparing options and preparing project information. The points below are the details that often decide whether a quotation is accurate or only a rough guess.
Design details to review
- The 160 ton main hook and 32 ton auxiliary hook should match the real turning and positioning process.
- A 24 m span and 14 m lifting height require careful review of runway strength, rail alignment and installation access.
- A5 duty class means the crane is expected to support regular industrial production, not occasional lifting only.
Information to prepare
If you want a supplier to respond with a useful proposal, prepare the following details before asking for price. Even simple photos and marked-up drawings can reduce back-and-forth.
- main and auxiliary hook capacity
- span, lifting height and runway length
- workshop drawings and installation access
- duty class and expected cycles per shift
Common mistakes to avoid
- treating a heavy crane as a catalogue item
- discussing auxiliary hook needs too late
- underestimating installation planning

FAQ
Is this crane type suitable for every workshop?
No. The right choice depends on load weight, span, lifting height, duty cycle, building structure and how the material moves through the site.
What should be checked before a final quotation?
Capacity, load size, hook height, runway or support condition, operating frequency, control method and safety requirements should all be confirmed before price is finalized.
Can SUNFACRANE customize the design?
Yes. When the standard arrangement does not fit the building or process, SUNFACRANE can review the project conditions and suggest a customized crane solution.
Final note
A crane article should help buyers make a clearer decision. For that reason, this post focuses on practical site checks, project information and selection risks rather than repeating generic product claims.
A practical project review path
When reviewing 160 ton overhead crane project, it helps to slow the decision down into a few visible steps. In a heavy workshop planning a crane around main and auxiliary hook work, the first proposal is often based on capacity and span, but the final design should also reflect the workflow, the building and the people who operate the equipment.
- Confirm the job: define the normal load, the heaviest load, the load size and the lifting accessories used with it.
- Map the movement: mark the pickup points, drop-off points, travel route, blind spots and any place where the load must slow down.
- Check the structure: review runway beams, floor condition, roof steel, rail foundation or supporting columns before the crane layout is frozen.
- Review operation: decide whether pendant, cabin, radio remote control or a mixed method gives the operator the safest view.
- Plan service access: make sure brakes, hoists, drives, wheels, ropes, electrical panels and safety devices can be inspected without awkward shutdowns.
How to compare supplier proposals
For 160 ton overhead crane project, comparing only the headline price can hide important differences. One offer may include better duty class, safer controls, stronger drives or more complete installation support, while another may be cheaper because it leaves those items unclear.
A practical comparison should look at capacity, duty class, motor and brake selection, hook approach, wheel load, control method, safety devices, documentation, spare parts and after-sales support. Installation access, auxiliary hook use and runway strength decide whether the project runs smoothly, so these details should be visible in the proposal instead of discussed only after the order is placed.
Questions to ask internally
- Which loads are lifted every day, and which loads happen only occasionally?
- Where does the operator stand during the most difficult lift?
- What equipment, racks, doors, pits or walkways could interfere with the crane path?
- Who will inspect and maintain the crane after installation?
- What future production change could make the current crane choice too small or too limited?
When custom engineering is worth discussing
Standard crane models work well when the building, load and route are straightforward. Custom engineering becomes more useful when the workshop has limited headroom, unusual load shapes, high duty cycles, special safety requirements, outdoor exposure or a process that cannot be served by a simple catalogue crane.
Sharing drawings, photos, videos and a short description of the lifting routine helps SUNFACRANE judge whether a standard solution is enough or whether a customized crane design would be more reliable in the long run.
