Solar Farm - Mobile Gantry Crane for Maintenance
Renewable Energy - Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand
Challenge
A large solar farm needed mobile cranes for lifting heavy equipment such as inverters, transformers, and large solar panel assemblies during maintenance and replacements. The vast area required easily relocatable cranes.
Solution
D2 Cranes supplied mobile gantry cranes with a modular design and rolling wheels for on-site relocation. Setup at a new location could be completed within 30 minutes.
Scope of Work
- 2 mobile gantry cranes (5 and 10 ton capacity)
- Modular disassembly design
- Rolling wheels for on-site relocation
- Electric chain hoist with pendant remote
- Operation and assembly/disassembly training
Result
Heavy equipment maintenance time was reduced by 60% compared to renting external mobile cranes. The investment was recouped within 8 months.
