A Turkish manufacturing client ordered one unit of Dafang CD 3-ton Electric Wire Rope Hoist with a lifting height of 9.5 meters, intended for installation in a light industrial workshop handling equipment maintenance and component handling.
Project Background
This export order covers one unit of Dafang's CD-type electric wire rope hoist — 3t-9.5m — destined for a Turkish industrial client. The CD series is Dafang's standard workshop hoist, manufactured under ISO, CE certification. It can mount on a single-girder overhead crane runway beam or a monorail system, providing cost-effective lifting for light to moderate duty workshop operations.
The Turkish industrial equipment market has grown steadily in recent years, driven by manufacturing capacity expansion in the automotive, logistics, and general fabrication sectors. Buyers in this market increasingly specify CE certification alongside local TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) acceptance, making CE-documented Chinese manufacturers a competitive option versus European alternatives.
Client's Specification Needs
The client's application required a hoist matching a 3-ton capacity at 9.5 m lifting height — a common combination for mid-bay workshop cranes where the hook must clear stacked materials on a mezzanine level while remaining within a standard building eave height.
- European market compliance — The client required CE marking documentation and test certificates
- Custom lifting height — Non-standard 9.5m specification required special production
- Corrosion protection — Customer requested enhanced surface treatment for humid workshop conditions
- Compact crating — Export packaging needed to fit 20ft container while protecting the 600kg unit
The client evaluated several hoist types before selecting an electric wire rope hoist over chain hoist alternatives, based on the 3-ton capacity requirement and 9.5m lifting height — a combination where wire rope construction offers better fatigue life and smoother long-travel performance.
Dafang Electric Hoist Solution
Based on all this Turkish customer's requirements, Dafang recommend the CD1-type electric wire rope hoist. This set of automated hoist can fill this specification precisely:
- ✅ 3-ton rated capacity — covers the majority of light-to-medium component handling in general fabrication and assembly.
- ✅ 9.5 m lifting height — standard for workshops with floor-to-eave heights of 11–12 m, where the hoist travel distance must account for the hoist body depth and hook approach.
- ✅ Single-speed 8 m/min lifting — sufficient for general materials handling; dual-speed option available where precise lowering is required.
- ✅ Pendant push-button control — the simplest, most serviceable control method for floor-level operated single-crane bays.
- ✅ Anti-corrosion upgrade — Applied industrial-grade primer + topcoat painting (≥120μm DFT) before shipment
- ✅ Custom production run — Factory adjusted wire rope length and brake calibration to match 9.5m specification
- ✅ Export-grade crating — Full wooden crate with moisture barrier, desiccant packs, and ISPM 15 heat treatment mark
- ✅ Documentation package — Provided CE Declaration of Conformity, material certificates, and factory test reports.

Packaging and Export Process
✅ Dafang packages all hoist exports in custom-built plywood crates on hardwood pallets, heat-treated and stamped to ISPM 15 phytosanitary standard — a requirement for wood packaging entering Turkey and all EU-adjacent markets. Green polypropylene banding with corner protectors secures the crate against movement during sea freight handling.
✅ The crate face carries the Dafang logo, electric wire rope hoist model designation (CD3t-9.5m), serial number (253101219), and item reference (AL-521), alongside standard handling symbols for fragile cargo, keep-upright instruction, and sling attachment points. This labelling format complies with ISO 780 pictorial marking standards for transport packages.
✅ Sea freight routing for Turkish-bound orders typically follows Qingdao or Tianjin port to İskenderun or İstanbul, with transit times of 18–25 days. CE documentation, factory test certificate, operation and maintenance manual, and packing list ship with the crate as a complete delivery package.
Why Choose Dafang CD1 Electric Wire Rope Hoists
The CD1 electric wire rope hoist uses a dual-speed hoisting motor (fast/slow), making it ideal for precision positioning in assembly and maintenance workflows. Compared to local Turkish suppliers and European electric wire rope hoist brands, Dafang CD1 units offer:
- ✅ CE certification as standard — the CE mark under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC ships with every unit, satisfying Turkish customs import requirements and buyer quality audits without additional testing or re-certification.
- ✅ Configurable hoist specification — lifting height, power supply voltage, rope reeving, and control type are set at order stage rather than selected from fixed catalogue options, allowing precise matching to the buyer's runway beam and building geometry.
- ✅ 30% lower price at equivalent quality — factory-direct pricing combined with established sea freight routing to Turkish ports delivers CE-quality equipment at total costs that European hoist brands typically cannot match on equivalent specification.
- ✅ Shorter lead time —— Dafang Crane needs only 25 days Vs. 45+ days that domestic other brands takes. Projects can not wait such 45 days because clients urge to put the equipment into operation as soon as possible.
- ✅ Spare parts availability through regional distributor network —— If equipment maintenance and spare parts replacement needed, it is very convenient for Turkish clients to give feedbacks to our local distributors and complete this task.
Summary
This Turkish export order demonstrates Dafang's ability to deliver precisely engineered lifting solutions to international industrial clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What lifting capacities does the Dafang CD1 Electric Wire Rope Hoist support?
A: The CD1 series covers standard capacities of 1t-16t. For applications outside this range, custom configurations are available — contact our engineering team with your load requirements and we will advise on the appropriate model and reeving arrangement.
Q2: Is the CD1 Electric Wire Rope Hoist CE certified? Will it pass Turkish customs inspection?
A: Yes. Every Dafang CD1 Electric Wire Rope Hoist with a CE Declaration of Conformity issued under EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, accompanied by factory test reports and material certificates. This documentation package satisfies Turkish customs import requirements and is accepted by TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) audits without additional re-certification. Copies of all certificates are provided in digital and hard-copy format with each shipment.
Q3: Can Dafang produce non-standard lifting heights? How is the 9.5m height achieved?
A: Standard CD1 lifting heights run from 6m to 24m in fixed increments. Non-standard heights — such as the 9.5m specified in this Turkish order — are produced by adjusting the wire rope length and recalibrating the brake travel limit during the factory production run. There is no surcharge for non-standard heights within the 3m–30m range; lead time remains 25 days.
Q4: What anti-corrosion protection options are available?
A: The standard CD1 finish is two-coat industrial paint (primer + topcoat) achieving ≥80μm DFT. For humid workshops, coastal environments, or chemical-adjacent facilities, an enhanced specification is available: industrial-grade epoxy primer + polyurethane topcoat at ≥120μm DFT, applied before crating. Hot-dip galvanising on structural components is available on request for highly corrosive environments.
Q5: Can the hoist be used with my existing runway beam or overhead crane?
A: In most cases, yes. The CD1 motorised trolley is compatible with standard I-beam and box-section runway beams in the 100–500mm flange width range. Send us your beam flange width, beam span, and hook approach requirement and our team will confirm compatibility or recommend a trolley adjustment at no extra cost.
