Crane Repairs & 24/7 Breakdown Service
Emergency callouts answered in person around the clock, and planned repairs booked around your production. Overhead cranes, gantries, hoists, jibs and lifting gear, every make, from 60+ engineers across the UK.
Granada has repaired cranes across the UK since 1980. We are independent, so we repair every make, whoever supplied it. Engineers carry common spares, diagnose on site and tell you plainly what has failed, what it costs and how long it takes. If a repair is not the right answer, we say so and quote a modernisation instead.
Crane broken down? Call 0800 376 27 27, any hour, any day.
Answered by a person, 365 days a year. We give you an arrival time and get the nearest engineer moving. Most faults are fixed on the first visit.
Load stuck in mid-air? Clear the area, isolate the crane and call. Never try to release it or work beneath it.
Maintenance contract customers get priority response.
Common crane faults we repair.
Most breakdowns come down to a short list: a contactor, a brake, a limit switch, a worn rope or chain, a drive motor. We have seen them all and carry the parts.
A crane that trips once a week will stop for good one day. If yours is doing something new, have it looked at.
Planned repairs and refurbishment, booked around your production.
A worn rope, a tired hoist or an inspection defect can be scheduled for a shutdown, weekend or night shift so the line keeps running.
We quote in full first, bring the parts, and load test at the end. Bigger jobs go to our crane modernisation team.

Why choose us for crane repairs?

Crane repair questions.
Often within hours, depending on where you are. We give you an arrival time when you call. Contract customers get priority.
Yes. Granada is independent and repairs all makes and models of overhead crane, hoist and lifting equipment, whoever supplied or installed them.
It depends on the time of day, your location and whether you have a contract with us. Contract customers get preferential rates. Planned repairs are quoted in full before we start.
Sometimes. A significant repair to the hoist, brakes, ropes or structure may need a thorough examination before the crane returns to service. Our engineer will tell you and can do it on the same visit.
Clear the area beneath it, isolate the crane and call 0800 376 27 27. Do not try to lower the load by hand or work under it. Our engineers are trained to recover suspended loads safely.
Usually repair. The structure lasts for decades; it is the hoist, brakes, controls and electrics that wear, and all can be replaced. If the crane is undersized, damaged or parts cannot be had, we will say so and quote a modernisation or replacement.
Yes. Contactors, relays, limit switches, brake parts and common hoist spares. Other parts are usually sourced within 24 hours.
Planned maintenance. A service every 6 or 12 months catches wear before it stops the crane, and contract customers get priority breakdown response.
