Overhead Cranes for Truck & Trailer Manufacturing
In short: Kelude Heavy Industry provides crane configuration solutions for commercial vehicle and specialty vehicle manufacturers, covering tankers, dump trucks, box vans, and trailers. With lifting capacities from 3 to 32 tons and spans from 10 to 30 meters, complete-plant lifting equipment investments typically range from approximately $30,000 to $267,000. The tanker bay is equipped with explosion-proof overhead cranes (5–16 t), the dump truck frame area uses heavy-load double-girder bridge cranes (10–32 t), the box van assembly area is fitted with LD single-girder electric cranes (5–10 t), and the trailer bay utilizes KBK flexible systems (1–5 t)—covering the full-process lifting needs of specialty vehicle manufacturing, from material cutting and frame welding to final assembly and painting.
Crane Solutions for Specialty & Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing
Tankers | Dump Trucks | Box Vans | Trailers
Specialty vehicle manufacturing—tankers, dump trucks, box vans, and trailers—presents lifting demands that differ significantly from passenger car production. The focus is on tank shell rotation, chassis assembly, box panel welding, and frame beam fabrication.
Scenario 1 — Tankers
• Lifting capacity: 16–50 t, QD type / gantry type
• Tank shell rotation / welding
• Large-span / heavy-component handling
• Twin trolley / tandem lifting
Tank shell / large span | Twin trolley | Rotation & welding
Scenario 2 — Dump Trucks
• Lifting capacity: 10–32 t, LH / LD type
• Body / sub-frame hoisting
• Chassis turnover / assembly
• Variable frequency inching / anti-sway
Body / chassis | VFD | Anti-sway
Scenario 3 — Box Vans
• Lifting capacity: 5–16 t, LD type / hoist
• Box panel welding / hoisting
• Insulation panels / refrigerated materials
• Lightweight / flexible coverage
Box body | Lightweight | Flexible coverage
Scenario 4 — Trailers
• Lifting capacity: 5–20 t, LD type / jib crane
• Frame beam / suspension welding
• Chassis frame assembly hoisting
• Long components / large span
Frame / long components | Large span | Jib crane

Lifting Requirements by Specialty Vehicle Type
Tank trailer manufacturing requires 16t–50t cranes with long spans, paired with tank tipping devices. Dump trucks primarily involve hoisting the cargo box and sub-frame. Van bodies use lightweight materials (insulation panels, aluminum), which place lower demands on crane capacity. Trailer frame welding and chassis assembly call for long-load lifting solutions.
