City Group Expands E-Crane Fleet to Boost Bulk Handling Operations
As one of Bangladesh’s leading industrial powerhouses, City Group continues to set benchmarks in operational efficiency and innovation through a long-standing partnership with E-Crane. Today, City Group proudly operates 12 high-performance E-Cranes comprising: 3 units of 700 series, 6 units of 1000B series and 3 units of 1500C series E-Cranes – each selected to meet the growing demands of its dynamic operations.
The journey began in 2005, with the installation of the first 700 series E-Crane at City Sugar Industries, a subsidiary of City Group located in Rupshi, Rupganj, Narayanganj. Tasked with unloading various bulk materials such as raw sugar, soya seed, wheat, and mustard seed from ships, the E-Crane demonstrated unmatched speed, precision and efficiency. Inspired by this success, City Group expanded its fleet with additional units in 2008 and 2010.
With the expansion of business operations and growing demand for bulk material handling, City Group installed a 1000B series E-Crane in 2014 at another of its subsidiaries – City Auto Rice Mill. Followed by a major upgrade at City Sugar Industries in 2018, where the 700 series E-Cranes were replaced with state-of-the-art 1000C series models. By 2021, three more 1000C series E-Cranes were installed at the same facility. Recognizing the advantages of E-Crane’s technology, City Group took another major step in 2024 and installed three 1500C series E-Cranes at its newly established UK Bangla Cement Factory.
From sugar to cement, City Group’s trust in E-Crane is built on years of reliable performance, low maintenance costs, and responsive after-sales support. This progressive adoption of E-Crane reflects City Group’s commitment to operational excellence, efficiency and together they continue to redefine possibilities within industrial operations, establishing higher benchmarks for productivity.
