Tanzanian Clients Visit MAXTECH Factory: Custom Spreader Production Wins Recognition

July 23th, a delegation of Tanzanian clients paid a two-day visit to MAXTECH's factory for inspection. The core purposes of this visit were clear: first, to conduct an on-site inspection of the production progress and quality control of the container spreaders custom-made for them; second, to conduct in-depth discussions on a new batch of marine crane procurement projects, laying the foundation for large-scale cooperation between the two parties in the future. From the production workshop to the assembly site, from custom products to a full range of solutions, every stop and question of the clients reflected their attention to and expectation for the cooperation.

Custom Container Spreaders: Quality in Every Detail​

Guided by MAXTECH’s production team, the delegation first toured the steel structure workshop, where 20-foot and 40-foot custom spreaders were in welding. “These use Q3550 high-strength steel, with 30% higher yield strength than standard models, handling 28-ton full containers effortlessly,” explained technicians, presenting material test reports verifying compliance with strict standards.

​

In the assembly workshop, workers installed anti-sway cylinders on spreader frames. Special modifications for Tanzania’s dusty ports were highlighted: thicker chrome plating (0.08mm) on piston rods for wear resistance and dust covers on locking mechanisms. Clients inspected welds and measured dimensions, praising, “Your precision exceeds our expectations.”

​

Outside the painting booth, two nearly finished spreaders in the client-specified orange stood out. “Our three-layer coating (sandblasting + epoxy primer + polyurethane topcoat) resists salt spray for over 1,500 hours—ideal for Tanzania’s humidity,” said staff, demonstrating quick 0.5-second locking on a test bench, impressing the delegation.

Showcasing Full-Chain Production Capabilities​

The visit covered the entire manufacturing process, highlighting MAXTECH’s expertise:

​

The assembly areafeatured cranes in various stages. Clients focused on a Port Crane bound for Africa, learning its imported slewing bearings undergo 3 precision checks (perpendicularity ≤0.5mm/m). “This meets our high-intensity needs,” they noted, photographing details.

​

At the testing zone, a spreader lifted a 28-ton simulated container, completing 360° rotations and translations flawlessly. When clients requested anti-drop alarms, technicians promised swift adjustments, reinforcing confidence.

Expanding Horizons with Additional Products​

Beyond spreaders, clients explored other offerings:​

• Multifunctional grabs: Hydraulic models for coal/grain, with wear-resistant steel bodies lasting 1.5x longer.​

• Eco-hoppers: Dust-reducing designs cutting unloading emissions by 80%, aligning with Tanzania’s green port goals.​

• Diverse spreaders: From standard to explosion-proof models for hazardous goods, surprising clients: “Such a comprehensive range simplifies future procurement.”

Negotiations: Paving the Way for Future Partnerships​

Post-tour talks centered on crane procurement. Clients plan to buy port and ship cranes for two new Tanzanian ports, citing trust in MAXTECH’s quality.

​

“We value after-sales support,” emphasized the client lead. MAXTECH’s international director responded, “Our African service center offers 72-hour on-site support, plus free operator training.”

​

The delegation concluded, “This visit confirms your professionalism. We’re eager for long-term cooperation，with more projects ahead.”​

As the sun set, the team departed, their visit marking a shift from single-product collaboration to a full industrial chain partnership. Backed by the Belt and Road Initiative, MAXTECH continues empowering African port development with quality solutions.
