Rail & Runway Systems for All Crane Types

Crane runway systems are supplied and refurbished for:

We design to suit:

  • Heavy point loads
  • High-duty cycle operations (FEM A5–A8)
  • Low-headroom buildings
    Check out our recent 20t low headroom crane installation
  • Tight internal spaces
  • High-temperature or corrosive environments

Whether it’s a light workshop crane or a 50-ton industrial lifting system, we ensure your runway stays aligned, safe, compliant, and capable of smooth, vibration-free travel.

Crane Rail Refurbishment & Realignment

If your crane is drifting, juddering, or causing wheel wear, your runway may be out of alignment.

We offer:

  • Laser-assisted rail alignment
  • Re-leveling & shimming
  • Worn rail replacement
  • Replacement of corroded or damaged steelwork
  • Grouting and mechanical fix rework
  • Wheel alignment checks and wear diagnostics

This reduces crane stress, improves travel, and prevents premature hoist or wheel failures.

Crane Servicing & Maintenance

Alongside installation and refurbishment, Granada Cranes provides complete lifecycle support:

Our national team of engineers services all makes, models, and lifting capacities, keeping your crane and runway safe, legal, and reliable.
