Indian power plant constructor opts for Demag process cranes
■ Rising demand for high-performance cranes in the Indian market
■ Successful implementation of production and sales strategy
Wetter, Germany 28 October 2013. Leading Indian manufacturers of generators and turbines rely on Demag crane technology. Most
recently, Terex Material Handling supplied TD Power Systems Ltd. with
two Demag process cranes that have lifting capacities of 300 t and 60 t.
Dr Lars
Brzoska, Vice President and Managing Director of Terex Material
Handling, says: “This order for high-performance crane installations,
which are planned and produced by our specialist teams in India, are a
confirmation of our sustained growth strategy. Thanks to our investments
in the expansion of our production structures in India, we have no
difficulty in serving the growing demand there for crane systems with
enhanced performance features.”

TD
Power Systems, one of the leading manufacturers of AC generators, has
extended its production in Bangalore in the south of India. With the aim
of producing larger and heavier generators, a second plant has been
built with greater crane capacities. The handling of bulky components,
e.g. stators and casings, as well as the transport of the completely
assembled generators is handled by a Demag ZKKW double-girder overhead
travelling crane. This crane, which has a span of 32 m, is fitted with a
winch unit with a lifting capacity of 300 t. It travels on a 120 m
crane runway which was also part of the order. A second crane hoist with
faster lifting and lowering speeds supports the personnel in the
precise assembly of components weighing up to 10 t. A second Demag
process crane, which has a lifting capacity of 60 t and a 10 t auxiliary
hoist unit, was installed in the new plant at the same time.
Manojit Acharya, Executive Director of Terex Material Handling India, adds. “Our
customers for power generating machines need reliable crane systems
which, with high performance and high availability, guarantee that their
production processes run smoothly. That is why they put their trust in
Demag crane technology. With the local engineering supplied by our
Indian engineers, we offer technology based on extensive international
experience and proven high standards. And with the comprehensive system
support provided by our trained service technicians, we guarantee our
customers maximum crane installation availability for smooth production
processes.”
