1. Project Background

Client Positioning
The client is KRISHNAPING ALLOYS LTD., located in Chitravara, Madhya Pradesh, India. The company operates in the manganese mining and alloy processing industry, focusing on manganese alloy production and mineral resource development. Its core business covers manganese mining, alloy smelting, and heavy equipment support. The client has the capability to integrate equipment for small and medium-sized industrial projects and provides lifting and material handling solutions for factory production lines and mine material conveying systems.

Core Needs
During the upgrade of its manganese mining and alloy processing production lines, the client faced two major challenges: first, the existing lifting equipment was aging and could not meet the safety and efficiency requirements for ore material transport, with insufficient load capacity and poor operational stability; second, the local supply chain in India had long delivery cycles and low equipment adaptability. There was an urgent need to procure electric wire rope hoists from China with high adaptability and short delivery times for material lifting in production line hoppers and mining equipment maintenance.

Products Procured
The products procured are two 3T electric wire rope hoists (model adapted to standard mining workshop conditions) and one 2T electric wire rope hoist. The key product parameters comply with industrial lifting standards, suitable for material lifting and small equipment maintenance in manganese processing workshops. The rated lifting capacities are 3 tons and 2 tons respectively, meeting the transport needs for different weight classes of materials.

2. Technical Solution

Customized Design
Based on the characteristics of the client's manganese mining conditions (dusty environment, humid workshop, medium lifting frequency), we implemented targeted optimizations in product design:

• Applied anti-corrosion and wear-resistant coating to the hoist wire rope to adapt to India's humid tropical climate and prevent rust and wear caused by mineral dust adhesion.

• Upgraded the motor protection rating to IP54 to effectively block dust from entering the motor and ensure stable operation under harsh conditions.

• Customized the hoist mounting brackets and connection interfaces based on the installation dimensions of the client's workshop lifting points, achieving seamless adaptation to the client's existing crane runway without additional structural modifications.

Process Upgrades
To ensure product delivery quality, we upgraded the production process for this export order:

• Adopted high-precision wire rope winding technology to ensure neat rope arrangement and avoid rope jamming or tangling during lifting.

• Applied quenching and strengthening treatment to the hoist transmission gears to improve wear resistance and adapt to the high-frequency lifting demands of ore material transport.

• Added a special export quality inspection process, including comprehensive testing of each hoist's lifting speed, braking performance, and noise levels, in compliance with Indian industrial equipment safety standards (IS 14411).

Quality Control

• Process Control: Implemented a "three-inspection system" (self-inspection, mutual inspection, and specialized inspection) during production, with strict control over key processes such as wire rope fastening, motor wiring, and brake system installation. Inspection data was recorded for each process, ensuring full traceability.

• Testing Standards: According to China's GB/T 3811 "Design Specifications for Cranes" and Indian import equipment safety standards, products underwent rated load testing, no-load operation testing, and braking distance testing, ensuring a safety factor of ≥4 for the 3T hoist and ≥5 for the 2T hoist under rated load.

• Traceability: Each hoist was assigned a unique factory serial number, with production batch, inspector information, and test data recorded. Inspection reports were included with the shipment to facilitate future maintenance and traceability.

3. International Transport and Logistics Solution

Transport Challenges

• Product Characteristics: Electric wire rope hoists are heavy lifting equipment, with a gross weight of 866kg for each 3T hoist and 326kg for the 2T hoist. The overall volume is large, and components such as motors and wire ropes are susceptible to impact and moisture, requiring special protection during transport.

• Cross-Border Route: Shipment from Xinxiang, Henan, China to Nhava Sheva Port, India, involved long-distance sea freight. India's port customs clearance process is complex, requiring compliant documentation in advance to ensure clearance efficiency.

Loading and Securing Solution

• Loading Plan: Customized solid wooden pallets were used for loading, with each hoist placed on a separate pallet. Pallet dimensions were adapted to the container's interior space to prevent product movement during loading.

• Securing Method: High-strength industrial strapping with steel buckles was used to secure the hoists to the pallets, with extra reinforcement for the motor body and wire rope drum. Anti-collision wooden strips were added around the pallets to prevent damage during container handling.

• Moisture Protection: Waterproof plastic film was laid on the bottom of the pallets, and the hoist surfaces were wrapped in moisture-proof bubble film. Desiccants were placed inside the container to cope with the humid environment during sea freight.

Loading Simulation and Center of Gravity Planning

• Center of Gravity Planning: The center of gravity of each hoist was aligned with the pallet's center. Forklifts were used to load from both sides simultaneously to avoid pallet tilting due to uneven force.

• Loading Simulation: Before loading, a container loading simulation was conducted to confirm pallet placement angles and quantities, ensuring that the three hoists were arranged reasonably inside a 20-foot container, with space left for handling and to prevent product-to-product contact.

Risk Control

• Customs Clearance Risk: Shipping documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, HS code documents, etc.) was prepared in advance. Cooperation with a local Indian customs broker was arranged, and the client's GST number was pre-coordinated to ensure customs clearance within 2 working days of arrival.

• Transport Risk: Full-journey cargo insurance was purchased, covering sea and land transport, with claims plans for risks such as collision, moisture damage, and loss.

• Timeline Risk: A direct sea freight route was selected, with a total transport time controlled within 25 days, plus a 3-day buffer period for unexpected situations such as port congestion in India

4. Project Results

Delivery Status
The order was manufactured in September 2025, with the commercial invoice issued on October 24. Shipment departed from Qingdao Port, China in early November and arrived at Nhava Sheva Port, India in late November. On-time delivery was achieved without any delays, precisely matching the client's production line upgrade schedule.

Quality Performance
Upon arrival, the client commissioned a third-party inspection agency for unpacking inspection. All three electric wire rope hoists were intact with complete accessories. On-site no-load trial operation showed smooth lifting and responsive braking. All performance parameters complied with the contract specifications and Indian industrial standards, achieving a 100% acceptance rate.

Cost Optimization
The customized packaging solution reduced transport-related damage costs. Leveraging our established China-India sea freight logistics channels, total logistics costs were reduced by 8% compared to the industry average, providing the client with a cost-effective equipment procurement solution.

Customer Feedback
The client highly recognized the product's adaptability to working conditions, delivery timeliness, and after-sales response speed. They explicitly indicated that they would prioritize our company for future lifting equipment procurement for their manganese processing lines and plan to expand cooperation in 2026 for 5T-10T large-capacity electric wire rope hoists. Both parties have reached a long-term supply chain cooperation intention.
