In April 2025, we first connected with a Chilean customer from the water resources development and energy transmission sector during the EXPOMIN 2025 exhibition. At the exhibition booth, the client initially showed strong interest in spider cranes for maintenance and installation tasks in challenging terrains. However, after returning to their headquarters, other members of the client’s technical and procurement teams submitted detailed inquiries through our official website, shifting the project focus toward indoor lifting solutions, specifically the LXN-European overhead crane combined with customized steel structures. This multi-channel engagement reflected the customer’s growing need for reliable, precise, and space-efficient lifting equipment to support both equipment installation and daily maintenance operations within their facilities.
Following in-depth technical discussions, the customer confirmed the purchase of two sets of LXN-European overhead crane systems with different configurations to meet varied lifting requirements within the same project. The first unit was a 1-ton European-type single-suspension overhead crane with a 2.6-meter span and a lifting height of 7.814 meters, while the second unit was a 2.5-ton European-type electric suspension overhead crane with a 2.05-meter span and a lifting height of 8.503 meters. Both cranes were designed to meet FEM European standards with a duty class of A5, ensuring stable performance under frequent operation, while the pendant control and radio remote control provided flexible and safe handling in confined working environments.
To ensure seamless installation and long-term operational reliability, the project scope also included 6mm² seamless conductor rail systems, as well as two complete sets of supporting columns and steel structures. Since the cranes were to be installed in an existing industrial facility, the client specifically requested foundation drawings in advance, allowing their local civil engineering team to complete groundwork preparation before shipment arrival. This forward-planning approach significantly reduced on-site installation time and minimized disruptions to ongoing operations, which was particularly important for facilities involved in water resource management and energy production, where equipment downtime can directly affect operational efficiency and service continuity.
From a commercial and logistical perspective, the project was arranged under CIF terms to San Antonio Port, Chile, with sea freight as the delivery method and a strict delivery schedule of 20 working days, while the latest shipment date was fixed no later than November 10, 2025, in accordance with the letter of credit conditions. The use of L/C as the payment method reflected the customer’s internal financial control procedures and ensured transaction security for both parties. Coordinating production schedules, quality inspections, and shipping arrangements within the limited timeframe required close collaboration between engineering, production, and logistics teams, highlighting the importance of integrated project management when delivering customized lifting solutions.
This cooperation also reflected the unique dynamics of exhibition-originated projects. Although the initial discussion at EXPOMIN focused on spider cranes, the final order centered on the LXN-European overhead crane, demonstrating how professional technical consultation and responsive follow-up can successfully guide customers toward more suitable solutions based on their actual operational scenarios. By providing detailed technical proposals, foundation drawings, and steel structure integration plans, we helped the customer visualize the complete lifting system rather than a standalone piece of equipment, which ultimately strengthened their confidence in the final solution.
Overall, this Chilean project illustrates how the LXN-European overhead crane can serve as a reliable, efficient, and flexible lifting solution for industries such as water resource development and energy production, where precision, safety, and equipment stability are essential. Through professional engineering support, customized configuration, and reliable international delivery under CIF terms, the project not only met the customer’s technical requirements but also established a solid foundation for long-term cooperation in future facility upgrades and expansion plans.
