Gantry crane helps a Saudi pipe yard load trucks faster

Client: Arabian Oilfield Supply, Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Industry: Oil and gas equipment storage

Background
This company stores long steel pipes (12 meters long, up to 8 tons each). They used a mobile crane to load trucks. But the mobile crane was slow – only two trucks per hour. Also, the crane operator needed a spotter to guide every lift.

The problem

Mobile crane rental cost was $4,000 per month

Loading time: 30 minutes per truck

Pipes often rolled or shifted during lifting – dangerous

The solution from Henan Mine
We built a single‑girder gantry crane specially for long pipes:

Capacity: 20 tons

Span: 20 meters (covers two truck lanes and the storage yard)

Two electric hoists that work together – one holds each end of the pipe

Wireless remote with a simple joystick – one man operation

Anti‑wind locking device for dusty desert conditions

The crane runs on a flat concrete track – no rails buried in sand.


The results

Loading time cut to 8 minutes per truck (-73%)

Now they load 7–8 trucks per hour

Mobile crane rental cost eliminated – saved $4,000/month

No more pipe rolling accidents

The crane paid for itself in 10 months
