SFDQ: Powering Foton Daimler’s Steel Structure Project for 60,000 Annual Heavy-Duty Truck Capacity​

In the fast-paced world of heavy-duty truck manufacturing, having a robust, efficient production base is crucial for meeting market demands. As a leading industrial engineering service provider, SFDQ has a proven track record of delivering tailored solutions for automakers. Our collaboration on the Futian Daimler Steel Structure Project stands out as a benchmark—we combined structural expertise with system integration to create a workshop that drives both capacity and operational excellence.​

Project Core Design: Built for Heavy-Duty Production​

At the heart of this project is a steel structure in the form of gantry columns and beams—a design chosen for its ability to handle the unique demands of heavy-duty truck assembly. This structure offers exceptional strength, supporting the weight of large assembly equipment and heavy components like truck frames and engines. Its large-span layout (up to 28 meters) eliminates unnecessary internal columns, creating an open floor plan that allows flexible arrangement of production lines, material storage, and logistics paths—key for streamlining workflow in a high-volume facility.​

To ensure the workshop operates seamlessly, SFDQ integrated four critical supporting systems, including the essential cable tray:​

Cable Tray System: As the “nerve network” of the workshop, galvanized steel cable trays organize power and data cables separately. This separation prevents electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable transmission for automated equipment (like welding robots) and production monitoring systems. The trays are fitted with protective covers to shield cables from oil, dust, and mechanical damage, while easy-access hatches simplify maintenance—reducing downtime from cable issues by over 90%.​

Fan Lighting System: Industrial fans with adjustable speeds maintain consistent airflow, keeping the workshop cool during summer and well-ventilated year-round. High-brightness LED lighting (average illuminance 320 lux) ensures clear visibility for precise tasks, such as component alignment and quality checks, cutting eye-fatigue-related errors by 20%.​

Tool Trolleys: Custom-designed for heavy-duty truck assembly, these trolleys have dedicated slots for torque wrenches, lifting tools, and measuring devices. Equipped with heavy-duty casters and locking brakes, they allow workers to access tools quickly without compromising safety, slashing tool-retrieval time by 30%.​

KBK Tracks: Suspended from the gantry steel structure, these flexible tracks handle loads from 500kg to 8,000kg. They enable smooth, precise movement of components (e.g., engines, transmissions) between workstations, replacing manual lifting and reducing workplace injuries by 45%.​

Project Outcome: 60,000 Units Annual Capacity & Beyond​

After months of meticulous planning and execution, the project was completed on schedule. Today, the workshop achieves its core target: an annual production capacity of 60,000 high-end heavy-duty trucks with double shifts (8 hours per shift, 5 days a week). This represents a 40% increase in Futian Daimler’s high-end truck output, helping the brand capture more market share in the competitive heavy-duty segment.​

Beyond capacity, the project delivers tangible operational gains:​

Efficiency: The combination of KBK tracks and tool trolleys cuts per-truck assembly time by 18%, reducing order lead times from 5 weeks to 3.5 weeks.​

Reliability: The cable tray system ensures 99.8% uptime for electrical and data systems, while the gantry steel structure’s durability minimizes maintenance costs.​

Safety: Automated lifting (KBK tracks) and protected cables (cable trays) have made the workshop one of Futian Daimler’s safest facilities, with a 60% drop in safety incidents.​
