Because we’re independent, we’re not tied to one brand or way of doing things. That means your 20-ton crane can be built using the best parts for the job — whether that’s a hoist from SWF, drives from OMIS, or control systems from Stahl or Liftket. We hand-pick components based on what’s right for your site, not what’s sitting on our shelf.
All of our cranes are built to meet current UK safety standards including LOLER, PUWER, and BS EN 15011. We can include extras like electronic overload protection, travel alarms, end-stop limiters, and both pendant and radio remote options. Need operator training? No problem — we’ll handle that too.
Serious Strength for Demanding Lifts
When your operation involves shifting heavy materials or large equipment on a daily basis, a 20 ton overhead gantry crane gives you the muscle and control you need. Whether you’re moving structural steel, large concrete forms, or heavy plant machinery, these cranes are built for jobs where reliability and lifting power can’t be compromised.
At Granada Cranes, we don’t offer off-the-shelf crane systems. We work closely with your team to design and supply 20-ton overhead cranes that fit your workspace, your workflow, and your lifting challenges. From extended spans and higher hook paths to advanced controls and built-in safety systems — every crane is tailored to do exactly what you need.
As an independent supplier, we’re not tied to any single brand or fixed product line. That means we can build your 20-ton overhead gantry crane using the best components available, from trusted manufacturers like SWF, OMIS, Stahl, and more. The result? A system that’s tailored to your site, not just pulled from a catalogue.
Need higher lifting speeds, greater hook travel, or seamless integration with an existing runway or control setup? No problem. We design around your workflow, facility layout, and lifting demands, ensuring your crane performs exactly how you need it to, day in and day out.
Every 20-ton system we deliver is engineered for strength, safety, and long-term reliability in heavy-duty applications.
