The SWF NOVA2 is the next generation of electric wire rope hoist — designed for precision, efficiency, and modernisation. Built on decades of innovation, NOVA2 brings together cutting-edge engineering, intelligent control systems, and a modular design that makes it ideal for both new installations and crane modernisation projects.

At Granada Cranes, we recommend the SWF NOVA2 not because it’s the only option — but because for many applications, it’s the right one. As the UK’s largest independent crane company, we select products based on your needs, not brand loyalty. And when it comes to hoist technology, NOVA2 sets a new benchmark.

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.
