Features of Thailand valve plant overhead crane project

There are some special requirements of the overhead crane: lifting speed, painting.

1. on lifting speed

The valve is a kind of precision products, so it requires double speed to ensure smooth lifting. The double speed hoist can meet the requirements and  is very cost-effective.

2. on crane painting

It is tropical monsoon climate in Thailand and the weather is wet in several months. So we use epoxy zinc-rich primer to protect it from rusting and corrosion.
