What Is an European Crane?
An "European crane" generally refers to a crane that is manufactured or designed in Europe, often with a focus on meeting European safety, regulatory, and design standards. European-designed cranes are typically built to adhere to strict European Union (EU) standards and FEM standards and often bear the CE marking, indicating compliance with relevant EU directives and regulations.
The price of European design cranes varies widely based on factors such as type, capacity, features, brand, and regional market conditions. Prices can range from thousands of dollars for smaller, basic models to several million dollars for large, specialized cranes. It's essential to contact crane manufacturers or distributors for specific pricing information based on your requirements.
Keep in mind that the price may also include installation, training, and maintenance services, so it's crucial to consider the complete package when assessing the cost of a European design crane.
Features of Eurocrane
- Efficiency: European crane designs often emphasize efficiency, both in terms of energy usage and operational performance. This is in line with EU initiatives to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption. Eurocrane is low in height and light in deadweight, saving construction resources. European cranes reduce their own weight by 15%~30%, wheel pressure by 15%~30%, and their own height by 20%~30%.
- Precise Control: These cranes often feature advanced control systems for precise and safe load handling. They may include features like variable speed control, anti-sway technology, and load monitoring.
- Customization: Manufacturers often offer customization options to tailor cranes to the specific needs and requirements of individual customers and industries.
- Versatility: European crane manufacturers produce a wide range of crane types and models to suit various industries and applications, such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, and ports.
- Innovation: The European crane industry is known for innovation in crane technology, including advanced control systems, automation, and safety features.
- Environmental Considerations: European design cranes may incorporate features aimed at reducing environmental impact, such as efficient electric motors and eco-friendly materials.
- Safety Standards: European-designed cranes are built with a strong emphasis on safety. They must meet rigorous safety standards to protect workers and ensure the safety of operations.
- CE Marking: Cranes that meet European safety and environmental requirements are typically marked with the CE symbol, indicating compliance with EU directives and standards.

Advantages of European Design Cranes
- Cost-effective：Reduce customer investment, make full use of plant space, and improve production efficiency. European crane products have the characteristics of light weight, small wheel pressure, low equipment height, compact structure and small space occupation. It adopts international advanced technology. From the trolley, the end beam to the main beam, it adopts a special and reasonable structure, and the weight is much lighter than the traditional crane. Therefore, while meeting the same requirements, the height of the workshop can be reduced, the section size of the rail beam can be reduced, the bearing capacity of the corbel and the pile foundation can be reduced, the requirements for the track can be reduced, and the power slide wire can be reduced, so that the user can use the workshop and hoist. Overall investment in equipment has decreased.
- High Efficiency：Good combination, many specifications and complete product series, which can cover most customer needs. FEM series European cranes adopt standardized and modular design, with complete product series, which can be quickly designed according to customer needs. The lifting capacity covers 1-550t, the working level is A3-A7, and there are 5 lifting speeds to choose from. The running speed of the trolley is adjustable by frequency conversion, and the lifting height covers 9m-60m, which can meet the needs of various special working conditions of customers.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Reliable performance, low failure rate, reduce use and follow-up maintenance costs. Since FEW series European cranes have the characteristics of light weight, high quality and high performance, they will also provide customers with good solutions according to their actual needs. Compared with the traditional lifting equipment with the same lifting capacity, the same span and the same working level, the energy consumption of the lifting equipment can be reduced by more than 30% during the operation process, which can save the customer's operating costs and conform to the national industrial policy of energy conservation and emission reduction.
At the same time, due to the modular design of the crane and excellent key components, the trouble-free working time of the crane is greatly increased, the replacement cycle of wearing parts is increased, and the maintenance cost of the crane is greatly reduced. The mechanism runs smoothly, with small impact and low noise, which greatly improves the comfort of customers during operation.
- Intelligent：The equipment is intelligent, multiple functional interfaces are reserved, and the function expansion is simpler. FEM European cranes can integrate intelligent monitoring, electronic anti-sway, remote monitoring and other options to ensure equipment performance and monitoring and maintenance. At the same time, the equipment provides reservation of various functional interfaces, and customers can add various functions through the reserved interfaces according to their needs, so as to meet the needs of working conditions conveniently and quickly.
Applications of European cranes
- Construction: Tower cranes and mobile cranes are used in the construction of buildings and infrastructure projects.
- Manufacturing: Overhead cranes are used in manufacturing facilities for material handling and assembly processes.
- Ports and Shipping: Container cranes and ship-to-shore cranes are used for loading and unloading cargo ships at ports.
- Logistics and Warehousing: Cranes are used in logistics centers and warehouses for efficient material handling and storage.
- Renewable Energy: Cranes are used in wind turbine installation and maintenance.
- Mining and Heavy Industry: Cranes are used for heavy-duty lifting and material handling in mining and industrial settings.
Why Custom a Crane Solution?
At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.
So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：
- Improve efficiency: Cranes can use automatic controls, and special accessories to improve efficiency.
- Break space constraints: In limited spaces, standard cranes may not fit due to their size. Custom cranes can be designed as compact or lightweight cranes.
- Cost savings: Customized cranes can lead to long-term cost savings. Customized crane solutions ensure crane's performance is all necessary for your business.
