In industries where heavy loads are the norm, having the right lifting solution is critical to maintaining efficiency, safety, and productivity. Large capacity cranes, capable of handling loads of 10 tonnes or more, are designed to meet these rigorous demands. At Granada Cranes, we specialise in designing and installing large capacity cranes equipped with cutting-edge features like Open Barrel Hoists and precision-machined trolleys, tailored to suit the unique requirements of industrial operations.

What Are Large Capacity Cranes?
Large capacity cranes are robust lifting systems built to manage extreme weights across a variety of industrial applications. Designed in single and double girder configurations, these cranes are engineered for reliability and performance in the most demanding environments.
Our team of crane specialists have helped install large capacity cranes of various lifting weights such as:
- 50 ton Overhead Crane (500kg)
- 70 ton Overhead Crane (700kg)
- 100 ton Overhead Crane (10,000kg)
- 150 ton Overhead Crane (150,000kg)
Key Features of Granada’s Large Capacity Cranes
- Open Barrel Hoists: Generously designed hoists with strain-gauge load limiting devices to ensure safe lifting operations and protect the crane and load from overloading.
- Precision Trolleys: CNC-machined trolleys ensure the perfect alignment of mechanisms, enabling smooth and accurate movement.
- Custom Configurations: Each crane is tailored to meet specific operational requirements, whether for a manufacturing plant, power station, or steelworks.
Industries That Rely on Large Capacity Cranes
Granada’s large capacity cranes are designed to serve a wide range of industries, including:
1. Steelworks
Steel production involves handling massive quantities of raw materials and finished products. Large capacity cranes are essential for lifting steel coils, slabs, and beams with precision and ease.
2. Power Stations
Power stations often require heavy-duty cranes to lift and position large equipment, such as turbines and generators, during maintenance or installation.
3. Forging Plants
Forging plants utilise large capacity cranes to handle heavy dies, molds, and raw materials during the forging process. The durability and strength of these cranes are crucial in such high-demand environments.
4. Generator Production
Manufacturers of large-scale generators need cranes capable of lifting and maneuvering bulky components during assembly and testing.
5. Plastic Molding
In plastic molding operations, large capacity cranes are used to handle heavy molds and transfer them between workstations with precision and care.
6. Construction and Infrastructure
Heavy-duty cranes are indispensable for lifting large structural components like girders, bridge sections, and prefabricated units in construction projects.
