At Granada Cranes, we pride ourselves on fast and efficient turnaround times.
Chain hoists from trusted brands like Stahl and Liftket are typically available within 24 hours, thanks to UK-based stock.
For wire rope hoists, including SWF and Omis, standard models are usually delivered in 6 to 8 weeks, with longer lead times for bespoke configurations.
Full crane systems currently follow a standard turnaround of approximately 12 weeks from order to installation.
When it comes to spares, we can often source key components within 24 hours, although older or specialist parts may take longer depending on availability.
