If you need an EOT crane quotation, the fastest way to a correct price is to send the right details the first time. This page explains how to request an EOT crane quotation from Timeskrane, which information our engineers need, what you receive in return and how to compare our offer with others. It is written for plant heads, maintenance managers, project engineers and purchase teams in India who want a clear, priced specification and not a vague estimate.
An electric overhead travelling crane is built to order. Two cranes that both lift 10 tonnes can differ greatly in girder design, hoist, motors, drives, controls and safety devices, depending on the span, the lift height and how hard the crane will work. That is why a price given only from capacity is a guess. A good quotation is based on a specification, and a specification starts with your answers to a few simple questions.
If you only want to understand what drives cost before you enquire, read our guide to EOT crane price in India. If you are ready to move forward, the checklist below will make your enquiry complete.
You do not need a perfect drawing. Even a few lines and a photograph are enough to begin. The more complete your details, the more accurate the first quotation.
State the heaviest load the crane must lift and the weight of a normal lift. Include the weight of lifting beams, magnets or other attachments, because these count towards the load.
Span is the distance between the centres of the two runway rails. Lift height is the distance the hook must travel from its highest to its lowest point. If you are not sure, send the width of the bay and the height from the floor to the underside of the roof truss or the runway beam.
Tell us how many lifts the crane makes per hour, how often it lifts close to full load and how many shifts it works each day. These answers decide the duty class, which affects the gearbox, motors, brakes and wheels.
Mention whether the crane will be indoors or outdoors, and whether the bay is hot, dusty, damp or corrosive. A foundry, a chemical plant and a clean assembly shop need different designs.
Say whether you prefer a pendant push button, a radio remote or a cabin, and tell us the power supply available at the bay.
Send a drawing or photographs showing column positions, roof height and any existing runway. If a runway already exists, share the rail size, and the beam section if you have it.
The crane we recommend depends on your answers. These are the main options.
If you are still deciding between a single and a double girder, our guide to single girder vs double girder EOT cranes helps you choose before you enquire. For a full list of crane families, see EOT crane types.
A serious quotation should let you compare offers line by line. Ours includes the following.
When you collect two or three offers, compare on equal terms. Check that every supplier has quoted the same capacity, span, lift height and duty class. Compare the hoist, motor and brake ratings, the control type and the safety devices. A very low price often reflects a lighter duty class, a smaller hoist, missing limit switches or no installation. Ask what is not included. A fair quotation names exclusions clearly.
Also compare what happens after delivery: installation, load testing, spare parts, response time and service support. Our EOT crane maintenance page explains our service support, and the EOT crane safety compliance in India article explains the rules your crane and records should meet.
Most price surprises come from a few avoidable gaps in the brief.
If you are not sure about any item, say so in your enquiry. Our team would rather ask a question now than change the design later.
A crane is a long-term asset, so the purchase price is only part of the cost. Think about the cost of the runway and building work, installation, power supply, operator training, spare parts and yearly maintenance. A crane that is slightly cheaper to buy but harder to service can cost more over its life. If you want to understand yearly service costs, read about EOT crane AMC cost and what is included, and use the preventive maintenance checklist for EOT cranes to plan inspections.
After your first enquiry we may ask a few follow-up questions so the specification is right. These often include whether the load is balanced or uneven, whether the crane must lift two loads at once, how accurately the load must be positioned, whether future expansion of the bay is planned, and whether the crane will share a runway with another crane. Answering these early keeps the design simple and prevents rework.
If you already have a crane, tell us its age, capacity, make and the problem you face, such as slow speed, frequent breakdowns, rope or brake wear, or lack of spare parts. In many cases a new hoist, drive, controls or safety devices can restore performance at a lower cost than a new crane. We will tell you honestly whether repair, upgrade or replacement makes more sense.
We supply cranes for fabrication shops, machine shops, steel and heavy industry, auto components, electrical equipment, chemicals, warehouses and many other plants. For heavy metal industries, see our page on EOT cranes for steel plants. For city-specific supply and service, see EOT crane manufacturers in Kanpur, EOT crane manufacturers in Bhopal and EOT crane manufacturer in Delhi NCR.
