Dunlop Oil Marine<\/h1>\r\n
\r\n Bespoke Overhead Cranes to Maximise Space and Efficiency <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

Serving the worldwide oil and gas industry, Dunlop Oil & Marine produces specialist hoses for every stage of oil and gas field development. The company required bespoke overhead cranes<\/a> to significantly improve order turnaround, so turned to Street Crane for the solution.<\/p>\n

The company needed overhead cranes to assist with its processing requirements while fitting within an existing, height-restricted structure. The cranes<\/a> had to quickly and efficiently switch production from one hose type to another, including loading mandrels onto hose fabrication machines and offloading the completed product.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

The Solution<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

Due to the limited height, the beam of a conventional crane would have been too deep, so Street engineered special cranes<\/a> to overcome this. In the main production area, six single girder cranes have been configured as two triple girder cranes using rigid link beams. These cranes have a lifting capacity of 9.6 tonnes, and each beam features a 3.2 tonne hoist to support the long hose lengths.<\/p>\n

Street\u2019s ZX 64 LH \u2013 low headroom hoists<\/a> were also installed and configured to operate without intruding into the space below the beam.<\/p>\n

In a second workshop, where heavy-duty and higher diameter hoses of shorter length are produced, a double girder crane with a 15 tonne safe working load has been installed.<\/p>\n

In the test and warehousing area, a double girder crane with a 20-tonne capacity, featuring twin 10 tonne hoists, has been installed for cable and drum handling.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Improved efficiency<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n

Custom-made cranes minimise space and maximise efficiency.<\/p>\n

The cranes can be operated singly or electronically synchronised to move together when double-length hoses are produced.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Minimal, easy maintenance:<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n

Street Crane\u2019s ZX hoist<\/a> technology is used throughout \u2013 based on an open chassis, components run cooler and are easy to access for service.<\/p>\n

Gears, which run in an oil-filled gearbox, are easily inspected via an access plate without the need to dismantle.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Enhanced safety:<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n

The hoists include unique safety features such as an easily accessible brake, which is located away from the motor to avoid heat transfer.<\/p>\n

Digital load displays, audible approach alarms, anti-collision protection and HBC radio controls ensure safe and reliable crane operation throughout the plant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
