Case Study: Conquering the Elements – Dongqi Crane’s Outdoor MH Gantry Cranes Empower Moroccan Operations

Introduction

In 2025, Dongqi Crane undertook a project that tested not just our engineering prowess but our equipment’s resilience. For a key client in Morocco, we successfully delivered and installed two robust 25-ton MH-type Gantry Cranes, designed explicitly for demanding outdoor operations. This project underscores our capability to provide durable, all-weather lifting solutions backed by unparalleled global support.

Project Overview: A Challenge Under the Open Sky

Our client required reliable and powerful lifting equipment for their outdoor yard operations in Morocco. The challenge was clear: the cranes needed to be more than just powerful; they had to withstand sun, wind, and varying weather conditions while maintaining precise and safe performance. Dongqi Crane answered with a custom-built outdoor solution.

From Factory to Field: Seamless Installation in a Challenging Environment

Dongqi’s commitment extends beyond manufacturing. We dispatched a team of seasoned engineers to Morocco to oversee the entire installation process on the client’s site. Our hands-on support ensured:

• Precise assembly and alignment of the gantry structure on outdoor foundations.
• Secure electrical connections and weatherproofing of all outdoor panels and junctions.
• Comprehensive testing of all functions under simulated outdoor working conditions.
• Operational training for the client’s team, focusing on outdoor-specific safety protocols and routine maintenance in an open-air environment.

Documenting Resilience

Our engineers captured the installation through detailed photos and videos, showcasing the cranes’ formidable structure against the outdoor backdrop. These visuals highlight not only the installation professionalism but also the inherent suitability of the equipment for an exposed, industrial environment.
