Comparable offers
The same core parameters were used when discussing suppliers, reducing the risk of comparing a low-scope offer with a more complete crane package.

Overhead Crane
Togo Overhead Crane Sourcing Project
This project required a crane proposal organized around the buyer’s lifting task and site conditions so that supplier offers could be compared on a practical basis.

THE PROJECT BRIEF
Start by making the buying requirement clear.
The sourcing work centered on clarifying the lifting capacity, span and operating conditions before moving to supplier comparison. These parameters affect the crane structure, hoist, controls, duty and packing scope, so they were treated as core commercial requirements rather than later details.
WHAT WAS COORDINATED
The details needed for a complete comparison.
- Lifting capacity, span and key site conditions
- Comparable supplier scope and technical questions
- General arrangement and component configuration
- Safety, control and power-supply requirements
- Packing split and international shipment coordination
PROJECT FOCUS
Three areas kept visible throughout the review.
Site compatibility
Span, lifting height, clearances and operating conditions were considered before the order stage so that site interfaces could be discussed early.
Export preparation
Long components, identification, packing and shipment details were included in the coordination rather than left until dispatch.
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY
What this project demonstrates.
The project demonstrates the value of defining the crane and the building interface before selecting a supplier. The buyer receives a clearer technical comparison and a practical list of items to confirm before production and shipment.
