Our Gantry Steelwork Services

5 Ton Crane Installation - Cosentino

New Gantry Steelwork Installations

  • Purpose-built steelwork for overhead cranes
  • Free-standing systems (no reliance on building columns)
  • Indoor and outdoor applications
  • Suitable for concrete, steel, and multi-bay layouts

This is ideal for facilities where:

  • The existing building has no structural support for crane runways
  • The infrastructure is old or unsuitable
  • Production lines need reconfiguring without major building work

Crane Runway Rail Installation

We install precision-aligned crane runway rails for smooth, safe long-travel movement, using:

  • Steel runway beams
  • Fall-arrest rails and access walkways
  • Precision rail alignment technology
  • High-strength rail clips and bolts
  • Grouting and bedding for long-term durability

Runway Refurbishment & Realignment

Over time, crane runways can suffer:

  • Rail wear
  • Concrete deterioration
  • Beam distortion
  • Alignment drift
  • Corrosion and bolt fatigue

We provide:

  • Rail replacement or machining
  • Structural repairs and reinforcement
  • New conductor systems
  • Realignment to restore smooth crane travel
  • Load testing & certification
