Description
In a region known for ambitious infrastructure projects, precast concrete manufacturers demand
precision, reliability, and speed. Al Waha Cranes was
selected to deliver a robust crane system tailored for 24/7 high-speed operations in Abu Dhabi’s extreme environment.
Project Scope
Crane Type: Overhead EOT Cranes
Load Capacity: 25 Tons
Operation: Heavy-duty, continuous operation across multiple bays
Key Features:
All-motion VVFD (Variable Voltage Frequency Drives)
Air-conditioned electrical panels
Climate-ready construction (dust-proof, UV-resistant, heat resilient)
Load control systems for uneven/offset precast elements
Crane-to-crane communication for synchronized bay operations
Phased Execution Timeline
Al Waha Cranes ensured uninterrupted factory operations with a strategic 3-phase approach:
Phase 1: 8 Cranes
Phase 2: 4 Cranes
Phase 3: 4 Cranes
Scope: Installation, testing, commissioning, and site handover
Built for Precast — Engineered for the Middle East
Precast plants demand durability and efficiency under extreme conditions. These cranes were tailored specifically for:
High-Speed Handling:
VVFD on all travel and hoisting axes
Faster lifting cycles = increased productivity
Smooth acceleration/deceleration for mold precision
Load Control Excellence:
Precision for irregular/offset load shapes
Anti-sway programming for safety and accuracy
Outdoor-Ready Construction:
Dust-sealed electricals
UV-protected coatings
Air-conditioned panels
IP65-rated controls and cables
Why This Project Stands Out
One of UAE’s largest crane deployments in precast
Operates in ambient conditions above 55°C
Fully integrated with Street Crane’s UK-built crane kit.
Delivered on time, in full
Integrated global tech with local service support
Client Testimonial
“Al Waha Cranes delivered cranes that are not just high-performing, but purpose-built for our production environment. From airflow-controlled electrical cabinets to their understanding of precast production sequences — they nailed it.”
