Crane installation
Installation, load testing and commissioning for bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes and hoists, including cranes you've bought elsewhere.
What installation covers
- Site check of columns, slab and power before delivery
- Runway beams, rails, end stops and conductor or festoon systems
- Lifting the bridge into place, fitting the hoist and trolley
- Electrical connection of the crane by a licensed electrician
- Setting limits, brakes and speeds
- Static and dynamic load testing
- Commissioning, operator walk-through and documentation
Working around your site
Most installs happen in a working factory. We plan lifts, exclusion zones and access with you so production can keep running, and we can work weekends or shutdowns where needed.
Documentation at handover
You receive a documentation pack for your plant register: load test certificate, commissioning records, operating and maintenance manuals, and the design registration details where your state requires them.
Relocations and upgrades
We also dismantle and relocate cranes, replace hoists, convert pendants to radio control, and upgrade old cranes with new drives and controls.
Common questions
Will you install a crane I bought from someone else?
Yes, provided it comes with its design documentation and is suitable for the building. We'll check it before quoting the installation.
How long does a crane installation take?
A jib crane is often a single day. A single girder bridge crane with a new runway is typically a few days on site, depending on size and access.
Tell us what you need to lift.
Send the load, span and lift height if you know them. If you don't, we'll come and measure.
