When designing a 40 ton gantry crane, one of the important considerations is whether to include a cantilever structure. The cantilever, essentially an extension of the crane girder beyond the supporting legs, may seem like a small structural detail, but it significantly affects the crane’s functionality, installation layout, and operational flexibility. This article explores the … Read more
Efficient on-site crushing is a critical factor for construction, mining, and infrastructure projects. Delays in material processing can slow down project timelines and increase operational costs. A mobile jaw crusher machine provides the flexibility, mobility, and efficiency needed to optimize crushing workflows directly on-site. By integrating a mobile crusher plant into project operations, contractors can … Read more
Electro-hydraulic hybrid control systems are transforming mobile concrete equipment by combining precise electronic control with hydraulic power. When applied to the self-loading concrete mixer, these systems optimize every stage of production—from loading aggregates to mixing and transporting concrete—reducing cycle time, improving dosing accuracy, lowering operator fatigue, and extending machine life. Contractors using hybrid-controlled self-loading concrete … Read more
When undertaking a large construction project with several work sites, planning the use of concrete boom pumps effectively can lead to significant cost savings. Concrete pumping is a critical part of many construction projects, particularly those involving high-rise buildings, infrastructure works, and large commercial developments. The ability to optimize the use of concrete pumps across … Read more
In the competitive landscape of asphalt production, optimizing profits is a priority for many operators, especially in the Philippines where logistics costs can be prohibitive.

The United Arab Emirates’ construction sector continues to defy conventional engineering limits, with record-breaking skyscrapers and ambitious underground networks pushing concrete pumping technology to new extremes. Across the Emirates’ varied topography – from Dubai’s dense urban canyons to Abu Dhabi’s sprawling developments – specialized pumping equipment has become the unsung hero enabling these structural marvels. … Read more
The construction industry generates 1.3 billion tons of waste annually—a staggering figure that would bury Manhattan under 14 feet of debris. Yet beneath this alarming statistic lies an overlooked truth: up to 90% of this material could be diverted from landfills with proper processing. The key lies not in revolutionary new methods, but in deploying … Read more
Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes are integral to modern container terminals, intermodal yards, and industrial facilities where efficient, high-capacity lifting and handling are required. As the size and lifting capacity of RTG cranes increase, structural integrity and weight optimization become critical. One innovative solution gaining attention in recent years is the use of space frame … Read more
Gantry cranes are essential pieces of equipment used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, logistics, and even port operations. These cranes come in various configurations to meet specific lifting needs, with the single and double girder designs being the most common. When considering a 20-ton gantry crane, one of the key decisions … Read more
If you ask a contractor in the construction space whether they would like to have an option where they can have the concrete mixing and pumping functions in a single piece of equipment, there would be an overwhelming yes. After all, different pieces of machinery take a lot of time to set up on a … Read more
