Lifting Equipment for EV Manufacturing
At a glance: Kelude Heavy Industry provides crane configuration solutions for new-energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturers, covering all four production shops — stamping, body-in-white (BIW), painting, and final assembly. Solutions accommodate lifting capacities from 2 to 50 t and spans from 12 to 36 m, with a complete-plant hoisting equipment investment of approximately $89,000 to $890,000. The stamping shop is equipped with double-girder overhead cranes (20–50 t); the BIW shop uses a KBK system with aluminum-body-specific spreaders (1–3 t); the painting shop employs explosion-proof stainless steel cranes (2–5 t); and the final assembly shop features KBK and electric hoist systems with battery-pack-specific lifting spreaders (0.5–5 t) — all engineered to meet the special process requirements of NEV battery pack hoisting, aluminum body loading, and electric motor assembly.
Crane Solutions for NEV Manufacturing Plants
Stamping Shop | BIW Shop | Painting Shop | Final Assembly Shop
Each of the four production shops in an NEV plant places distinct demands on overhead lifting equipment: the stamping shop requires high-frequency inching for die changes; the BIW shop needs reliable handling of body assemblies; the painting shop demands explosion-proof and clean-room-compatible operation; and the final assembly shop calls for precision handling of power batteries.
Scenario 1 — Stamping Shop
• Lifting capacity: 5–16 t, LD-type / electric hoist
• Die change / blanking
• Coil / sheet handling
• High-frequency / inching operation
Die change | Coil handling | High frequency
Scenario 2 — BIW Shop
• Lifting capacity: 5–10 t, LH-type hoist overhead crane
• Welding line / fixture change
• Body assembly lifting and transport
• Multi-point / multi-line coverage
Welding line | Body handling | Multi-line coverage
Scenario 3 — Painting Shop
• Lifting capacity: 3–10 t, explosion-proof electric hoist
• Explosion-proof coating area (Ex tb)
• Paint / solvent explosion protection
• Clean / dustproof design
Ex tb protection | Clean | Solvent-safe
Scenario 4 — Final Assembly Shop
• Lifting capacity: 10–32 t, QD/LH-type overhead crane
• Power battery / motor hoisting
• VFD inching / anti-sway control
• Precision alignment / assembly
Battery hoisting | VFD inching | Precision assembly

Stamping & Body Shop Crane Solutions
Stamping presses require frequent die changes—typically every 2 to 4 hours—demanding high-frequency hoisting cycles. Kelude's LD Type cranes are equipped with an inching upgrade module that delivers a jog response time of under 50 ms. In the body shop, LH-type under-running cranes handle body-in-white and sub-assembly lifting across multiple welding lines.
Painting & Final Assembly Cranes
Solvent evaporation zones in the painting workshop require Ex tb explosion-proof electric hoists. In the final assembly line for new-energy vehicles, battery pack lifting (300–800 kg) demands variable frequency inching control (0.3–1.0 m/min) and an anti-sway system for precise, safe positioning.
