Gengroup Crane was selected to engineer and deliver a massive fleet of 24 heavy-duty overhead cranes. While the scale of the order is impressive, the real story lies in the relationship behind it and the technical precision required to move from a signed contract to a fully operational facility in record time.
A standard of excellence across the continent
In the industrial world, consistency is a form of risk management. For this particular client, Demag has become the brand of preference for their operations across North America. Having worked together for years, Gengroup has supplied Demag equipment for the customer’s facilities throughout Canada and the United States. This continuity ensures that their maintenance teams, operators and safety managers are working with a familiar, high- performance platform regardless of which side of the border they are on.
As the leading Demag fabrication shop in
the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Gengroup is uniquely positioned to maintain this standard. Deep expertise in the brand allows the team to do more than just supply hardware; it enables them to act as a technical extension of the client’s own engineering department. By staying true to the Demag brand across all their sites, the client benefits from a unified spare parts inventory, standardised operator training and the peace of mind that comes with a proven track record.
Technical depth: The Texas fleet The scope for the Texas facility required a material handling backbone capable of sustained, heavy-duty use. Gengroup is currently fabricating 24 double-girder top-running (DGTR) cranes, designed to meet the rigorous requirements of a permanent industrial site. The fleet consists of:
22 25t (25,000kg) cranes: These units, featuring a 17,475mm (57ft 4in) span, will handle the bulk of the facility’s daily production needs.
Two 40t (40,000kg) cranes: These higher- capacity units share the same 57ft span and provide the specialised lifting power needed for the site’s heaviest components. At the core of these machines are Demag DVR electric wire rope hoists. These are not off-the-shelf components; they are professionally engineered lifting systems rated for CMAA Class C service. This classification is vital for a high- production environment, ensuring the equipment can handle frequent cycles without premature wear or unexpected downtime.
