Since 2012, EEE has been GJJ’s sole distributor in India, and the company has grown from strength to strength, with many new customers and repeat buyers. We have supplied over 200 hoists in India, says P V Ramdev, Managing Director, Everest Engineering Equipment Pvt. Ltd.

The demand for mast-climbing work platforms

Currently, the demand for Mast climbers/platforms is at a relatively nascent stage in India, with only the leading contractors showing awareness of its usage. However, there is a growing consciousness even among retail and upcoming contractors on utilising this product, owing to aspects viz.

• Safer and easier erection than conventional scaffolding.
• Reduced labour costs and no labour casualties.
• Working spans and carrying capacities vary;

Therefore, this results in savings in moving material at different heights and expediting work execution compared to conventional techniques.Presently, in the Indian construction sector, the market size of Mast Climbing Platforms is expected to be around 50 units. And with the abovementioned growth in awareness, this demand will keep increasing in the coming years.

Innovations to speed up construction projects

Passenger Hoists: Our new passenger hoist has a cage length of 3.6m to 4m and can transport 24 people or 2 tonnes of the load simultaneously with a speed of 63m/min. This length is in high demand in India since developers want to transport façades and door/window frames through the hoists.

CNC high-speed stirrup bender: Our high-speed rebar processing machine is a CNC high-speed stirrup bender. We have two types available: one for up to 12 mm rebar and the other for up to 16 mm rebar. In India, mostly 12mm rebars are made; hence the former is more popular. But the 16mm rebar can process 2 rods simultaneously if the bars are 12 mm or below.

These machines are unsuitable for feeding straight-type rebars since one rod will be processed within 15 seconds. Coil-type rebar needs to be provided to the machines, and using coils is the best way because it helps reduce the wastage while feeding a single bar with 2500m to 3000m coils can be fed.

Significance of Everest’s GJJ Mast Climbing Work Platforms

Everest Engineering Equipment offers GJJ’s Mast Climbing Work Platforms-SCP230/9D on single masts up to 10.5m Spans and on twin mast platforms up to 24m Spans, with a speed of 6 mts/min. Our supplied Mast climbers are reputed for their low maintenance and little breakdowns, as vouched by our customers.

Everest Engineering Equipment is also offering GJJ’s Passenger and Material Hoist in Single Cage and Twin Cage with speeds ranging from 46 mts/min up to 120 mts/min. Everest has supplied over 200 hoists in India, including a few for high-height applications of up to 280 metres, with a capability of going up to 500 metres.

Unique features of GJJ Hoists

GJJ Hoists are not new to India, with customers like L&T and LANCO having bought these hoists almost 18–20 years ago, and they are still working. Since 2012, EEE has been GJJ’s sole distributor in India, and the company has grown from strength to strength, with many new customers and repeat buyers. This is primarily due to EEE’s feature-rich products and matching after-sales services. From a market size of around 750 units per year, we expect the market to grow to about 1500 units by 2027.

Below mentioned are some of the unique selling points of our GJJ passenger hosts:

• Material structure: ST52-3 (High sustenance to Tensile stresses)
• Fully galvanised (highly corrosion resistant), which enables an average equipment life of up to 20–25 years.
• Mast dimensions: 650x650x1508 mm (capable of reaching a height of 500 meters).
• Drive mechanism: -From SEW/NORD Germany (known for their considerable savings in power consumption)
• Foolproof safety from all aspects.
• Worldwide acceptability.

Business expansion plans and exports

These days, buildings are being made up to 400m high, but locally manufactured equipment can go up to 150m. Our standard passenger hoists will be able to reach 500 m, and they will have a life of 20 years. At our R&D centre, we will make products as per international quality standards. We will develop, document, and do stringent quality control since we also plan to target the export market.

We intend to export only after establishing a solid brand in the Indian market. We surveyed to investigate the needs gap in the Indian market and the export opportunities. We are currently working on producing products that meet European standards, and we will begin exporting in a few years.

Our sales team is present all over India. We have recently expanded our dealer network to include Haryana, Punjab, and the Northeast. We can provide service to any machine in any part of India within 24 hours, and this service efficiency has been the sole reason behind our spectacular growth.

Furthermore, we conduct training camps every month for our customers and engineers. We are an ISO 9001: 2015 certified company by TUV. Our customers are expected to not only maintain the equipment but also maintain its documentation. Our engineers check this periodic maintenance documentation and cross-check it with the equipment at work. We ongoingly train our staff and customers to impact effective maintenance. We also maintain the highest safety standards on our equipment and services as per ISO-45000.
