Construction Cranes | Hydraulic Cranes

For the past few days have I have been working on inquiries for used self erecting tower cranes, tower cranes and other construction related machinery. But yesterday morning got an email from a buyer with whom I was in contact with from the past few weeks in order to participate in a Bangladesh Navy tender. Although a large amount of details were provided to this buyer regarding our company and the crane we were offering to him but still he some query that needed our immediate attention.

The mail was regarding the authorization letter which we emailed him earlier, but this time he asked us to print the authorization letter content mentioning that our company has authorized his company in Bangladesh to participate in this tender on our behalf. He wanted this letter to be printed on our company letter head duly signed and stamped. For fulfillment of this need of his all the details in this regards have been forwarded to the concerned authority and just waiting for a reply from their side so the details can be forwarded to the company in Bangladesh. Other than this query of his he has some serious requirements for used mobile tower crane as well.

Yesterday I was going through different B2B portals looking for tower crane buyers and used self erecting tower cranes buyers. At that particular moment a buyer from Tajikistan landed on my Web DHS, my messenger started popping, I immediately responded by greeting the Tajikistani buyer and asking if he has any particular requirements for tower crane or used mobile tower cranes or any other type of crane. But unfortunately the buyer wasn’t replying, again and again different pops started to blink in front of my screen and I can see that the buyer was going through the different products of my member’s website. He was going through QTZ7030, QTZ5616 and QTZ 125.  I replied on almost all of those pop ups but not a single reply came from any one of them. I was a bit disappointed because Tajikistani buyers are one whom which my member value a lot and I really wanted to get in touch with this buyer and take down his specifications for tower crane. Because with the frequency he was going through the different products of my company I could sense that he seemed a potential buyer and one could yield some positive results for my company.

I left the office at around 10:00 pm mid night till then there was no inquiry in my inbox. I have one habit that every day when I come to the office I usually go through my member’s inbox. And today when I was going through my member’s inbox I saw the same buyer inquiry placed in my member’s inbox.  The inquiry landed in my inbox because of the efforts of the SEO team who has increased the ranking of my member’s Web DHS on Google.

Today had a conversation with an Indian buyer regarding one of his inquiries regarding tower crane that he has placed online. At first the details that he provided online seemed like an inquiry for used self erecting tower cranes but what actually he was looking for was luffing crane, external tower crane and internal tower crane.  He asked for around 3 quotations at the same time, 5 for external tower crane, 5 for internal tower crane and one for luffing crane.  Once we have received the detailed specification of the tower cranes he was requiring we forwarded the details to our factory to see whether we possess the manufacturing ability of that particular specification.

After talking to our representatives at our factory we came to knew that we can full fill all the specifications except the desired height of the buyer. The solution he proposed in this regard was by adding mass sections to the tower crane through which the desired height mentioned by the buyer could be achieved.  The buyer also had a requirement for used mobile tower cranes, but as we do not deal in that particular category so we did not took much interest in that particular query of his. 

Yesterday decided to give a follow up call to one of the dealers in Malaysia, talks with this dealer is currently in progress regarding our tower cranes model QTZ 7030. Although different companies manufacturing used self erecting tower cranes also approached this buyer/ dealer but didn’t have a positive response from her because she was interested in tower cranes specifically. She said that she was just about contact me if I hadn’t contacted her in the first place. It was regarding the technicality of the tower crane that we have quoted her the price for. One of her customers was having a query that as he is currently building a 20 story building but doesn’t has any area near by the construction site where he can install the tower crane, so he was actually asking our dealer that can he install the tower crane away from the construction site of the building? Or he has to go for some other type of cranes such as the used mobile tower cranes. The answer that was provided by us to the dealer was that the tower crane for which we have quoted her the price needs to be installed within the construction site area. Because as the number of stories of the building increases length of the tower crane also increases with it, and it is necessary to have a support area for installing that particular tower crane.   

There are different types of cranes that are used in the construction of different types of projects. Other than the used mobile tower cranes there are other cranes and load lifting machines that are used in the construction of projects, buildings etc. One of the types of these load lifters are Side Lifters, the unique feature associated with this particular lifter is that it has the ability to place one container over the other. It has the ability to load and unload containers from anywhere for example: Dock, trucks, railway cars etc.  In order to complete all these task it is necessary that it should be placed along with a hydraulic crane.

Secondly we can use terrain cranes for all sorts of industrial or off road construction jobs. The best feature about this tower crane is that it is very easy to drive on the roads. Another type of crane that is used very commonly is the used self erecting tower cranes. Another type of machine that is used for lifting heavy loads within a particular defined area with stability is the crawler. The best feature about this product is that it can move within a particular defined area with a lot of mobility.  

A speedy construction was completed of a three story health centre project in Ohio for a university project. It was done by excluding the use of used self erecting tower cranes and using the conventional tower crane for the construction of the project. At first the contractor was using two self erecting potain cranes which were causing delay in the construction of the project. When the head engineer of the project realized that using the self erecting cranes will cause much more delay in the project he decide to go for the conventional crane which helped in speeding up the construction of the project.

The conventional tower crane that was used in the construction of the project was having a maximum load of 6.6ton. The project total cost was around USD 16.5 million for the housing and pharmacy programs that were to be conducted at the university. With this much of maximum load the engineer could have also used a used mobile tower cranes.  The two self erecting cranes were rented by the contractor which turned out to be not so good a decision because in the end the engineer has to turn up to the traditional tower crane which increased the cost of the project.

Qatar is the next potential market for a number of used self erecting tower cranes, because the current construction projects that are being lined up for Qatar worth about US$ 250 billion. Out of this heavy investment, infrastructure share 34% of the total investment. Because of the FIFA world cup that is going to be held in Qatar in 2022, a lot of resources and funds are planned to be invested on development projects. Since after the time when Qatar won the bid for FIFA World Cup 2022 there has been a 92% increase in the supply of high rise commercial office towers.

Qatar construction industry is growing at a rapid rate because of the number of construction projects lined up. Providing used mobile tower cranes and other construction related equipment manufacturers to boost up their businesses. Because of the infrastructure development in the country demand for green and environmental technologies along with sustainable practices are increasing at a rapid rate. This is not only it, country is expected to get more new contracts worth of USD 22 billion by the end of 2012. This current situation is attracting a large number of companies which are waiting to benefit from this current development situation of Qatar.

Saudi government has a very uphill a head of them; it is regarding the housing issue currently faced by a lot of people in the country. The government has a set amount of target for building more houses that it has to achieve by 2014. This mass housing project provides a great opportunity for construction companies, construction equipment companies and used self erecting tower cranes etc.  Saudi real estate market is also forecasted to increase by 2013, leading because of the massive growth in the real estate sector and different housing projects taken up by the Saudi Government.

Because of all the current housing and development projects in Saudi Arabia it has attracted the attention of companies that provide used machinery related to construction. For companies providing used construction equipments and for used mobile tower cranes it has been the centre of attraction. The Saudi Mortgage law is also expected to be approved till July. The increasing number of population of the country would require more and more houses till 2020. The Saudi mortgage law would have a great effect on the Saudi real estate market over the short and medium term, which would be allowing approximately 80% or even more Saudi nationals to become first time homeowners.
