Shah Cement Ltd. Bangladesh: not just a pioneer in Cement Industry! (Click here for printer friendly version) Dhaka, September 5th, 2011: Shah Cement Ltd., already a pioneer in the Cement Industry as Shah also just recently has installed one of the first 1000-Series E-Cranes in Bangladesh. At E-Crane we have the greatest respect for all our visionary customers. This is certainly the case for Shah Cement Ltd., one of the larger cement producing companies in Bangladesh. Recently a 1000 B-Series E-Crane, model 7264, was successfully installed and put into service. Replacing older cable cranes with poor availability and high maintenance cost, Shah has clearly recognized the importance of having state-of-the-art equipment on the dock. With this investment Shah shows confidence in the future of the cement industry and their strong will to be an industry leader in Bangladesh. Despite limited space, bad weather, tough working conditions, poor support equipment...with a 'can-do' attitude great results can be achieved! The visit of the Mr. Hafiz Sikander, Director Operations & Chief Executive Officer of Shah Cement, to our Belgian assembly plant (see also: http://www.ecrane-usa.com/news/2010/pdf/2010-12-19eng-print.pdf)  is proof of the genuine interest by Shah in buying top quality products and service from first-class, world renowned equipment manufacturers. Despite bad weather and tough work conditions, our senior erection supervisors Guido Van Hoecke, Klaas De Brabander and Jean-Marie Verschoorewere very pleased with the support and can-do attitude of the on-site erection crew. Also the training for the maintenance people as well as the crane operators was successfully completed by Jean-Marie Verschoore. During the training the operators were immediately capable of unloading 200 tons per hour ‘through ship’. Now, after another 150 hours of continuous operation more than 25.000 tons of cement clinker has been offloaded… Impressive start-up ! Congratulations to Shah management and to all who contributed in the success of this project. Before... ... and after. About Shah Cement Ltd.

Products : Ordinary Portland Cement , Composite Cement, Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) About E-Crane Worldwide E-Crane Worldwide is a modern, state-of-the-art engineering and heavy equipment construction company, based in Adegem, Belgium and with subsidiary companies for sales management, technical support and service in The Netherlands (E-Crane International Europe) and Ohio, USA (E-Crane International USA). E-Crane Worldwide develops turnkey material handling solutions with engineering services, equipment manufacturing, erection, operator/maintenance training and custom tailored on-going service programs for our clients. The “E” in E-Crane® (Equilibrium or balance crane) stands for Equilibrium. The E-Crane design is based on an ingenious parallelogram style boom that provides a direct mechanical connection between the counterweight and the load. This unique system ensures that the E-Crane® remains in near perfect balance throughout its working range. Compared to conventional cranes that require as much as 80% of their available energy just to move the boom, stick, and grab, the E-Crane® makes gravity work for you instead of against you, reducing horsepower requirements and power consumption by up to 50% and significantly reducing maintenance and operating costs. The E-Crane series offers models with up to 50 tons duty cycle capacity due to their movable counterweight and fixed parallelogram linkage as well as up to 15Oft/50m of horizontal and up to 100ft/30m reach below grade. Its modular design allows each E-Crane® to be tailor made to the client’s specific requirements.
