Project Background: Egyptian Port’s Urgent Demand for Heavy-Duty Handling Equipment

The client is a leading port operation enterprise in Egypt, responsible for the operation and management of multiple terminal berths in Egyptian ports. With the rapid growth of import and export trade in the region, the port’s existing handling equipment could no longer meet the efficient loading and unloading needs of heavy cargo such as containers, bulkgoederen, and large-scale mechanical equipment. The client urgently needed to purchase high-performance, stabiel, and durable heavy-duty portal cranes to improve handling efficiency, reduce operational costs, and ensure the safe and smooth operation of port logistics.

After in-depth market research and comparison, the client focused on Weihua Group, a global leader in lifting equipment manufacturing, especially on Weihua’s 60 tons single boom portal crane. This type of crane is widely used in ports, dokken, en opslagplaatsen, with the advantages of simple structure, light weight, large working amplitude, and high operational efficiency, which perfectly matches the client’s actual operational needs in Egyptian ports.

On-Site Inspection: The Key to Gaining Client Trust

As a major investment in port equipment, the client attached great importance to the quality, prestatie, and actual operation effect of the cranes. Before making a final decision, the client organized a professional technical team to conduct an on-site inspection of Weihua’s production base and the actual operation sites of 60 tons single boom portal cranes.

During the inspection, the client team carefully observed the entire production process of Weihua’s portal cranes, including the selection of high-quality steel plates (sourced from renowned steel mills such as Baosteel and Wuhan Steel), precision cutting by German Messer CNC plasma cutting machines, and intelligent welding by advanced welding robots—all of which ensured the structural stability and durability of the cranes. More importantly, the client team visited multiple domestic port sites where Weihua’s 60 tons single boom portal cranes have been put into operation, witnessing the cranes’ stable operation, efficient handling, and reliable safety performance firsthand.

Weihua’s technical team provided detailed explanations to the client on the crane’s core technologies, including full digital AC frequency conversion and PLC speed regulation control, intelligent safety protection systems (such as strong wind alarm and overload protection), and convenient maintenance design. The client was deeply impressed by Weihua’s strict quality control system, mature manufacturing technology, and the excellent performance of the equipment in actual operation. After a comprehensive evaluation, the client finally decided to place an order for 3 sets of 60 tons single boom portal cranes from Weihua Group.
