Q: What after-sales support do you offer?
A: We provide extensive after-sales support, including spare parts availability, maintenance programs, and technical assistance. Our service team is available to address any operational issues promptly.

Q: Can your cranes be adapted for explosion-proof environments?
A: Absolutely. We offer explosion-proof crane configurations designed for hazardous areas, complying with relevant safety regulations to ensure safe operation in such conditions.

Lifting Requirements by Geothermal Work Stage

A: Geothermal development spans four distinct work stages—geological exploration, drilling, heat exchange station construction, and operations & maintenance—each with significantly different lifting requirements. Geological exploration (geophysical, geochemical, and drilling surveys) typically takes place in remote mountainous terrain. Rig relocation and derrick erection call for crawler cranes with 50–100t lifting capacity, strong off-road capability (ground bearing pressure ≤ 0.08 MPa), and hydraulic outriggers with automatic leveling to handle slopes up to 15°. Drilling sites must also be equipped with anti-drop devices, with safety zones established around wellheads for wells 1,000–3,000m deep. Drilling operations—including derrick assembly, rig installation, casing running, and cementing—represent the heaviest lifting phase in geothermal development. Derrick assemblies weigh 30–80t and require purpose-built petroleum cranes (load level API 8C/8B). The hoisting system must feature dual brakes with a safety factor ≥ 2, and casing runs demand precise shaft alignment at the wellhead (deviation ≤ 5mm). Heat exchange station construction (heat exchangers, heat pump units, circulation pumps, and piping networks) takes place within plant premises, with lifting capacities of 5–32t and spans of 12–24m. Heat exchangers are typically stainless steel and impose no special corrosion requirements on lifting spreaders, but floors and foundations must be rated for heavy equipment transport (floor load capacity ≥ 5t/m²). Operations & maintenance (downhole work, heat exchanger cleaning, and pipeline servicing) primarily involves light to medium loads of 1–10t. KBK suspension systems or electric hoists are recommended for full coverage of heat exchange station machine rooms, with corrosion-resistant electric hoists specified for geothermal water containing corrosive ions such as Cl⁻ and SO₄²⁻. Kelude offers lifting equipment for every stage of geothermal development, including petroleum cranes, stainless steel corrosion-resistant hoists, and KBK systems.
