Granada Cranes provides professional crane maintenance contracts for industrial sites across the UK. Our planned maintenance agreements help keep overhead cranes, hoists and lifting equipment operating safely, reliably and efficiently throughout the year.
Planned, scheduled servicing
Fewer unplanned breakdowns
LOLER & compliance support
Priority breakdown response
A well-structured maintenance contract reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, supports compliance, extends the working life of your equipment and gives your team access to experienced crane engineers when support is needed. Whether you operate a single overhead crane or a large site with multiple lifting systems, we can provide a maintenance package suited to your equipment, usage levels and operational requirements.
01 · Planned Maintenance
Planned crane maintenance for industrial sites.
Overhead cranes are critical to production, movement and site efficiency. When a crane fails, the impact can be immediate. Planned crane maintenance helps identify wear, faults and safety issues before they become costly breakdowns.
Granada Cranes provides maintenance contracts for a wide range of industrial environments, including manufacturing sites, warehouses, workshops, steelworks, engineering facilities, logistics operations, aerospace sites and heavy-duty production environments.
Equipment we maintain
- Overhead cranes
- Gantry cranes
- Goliath & semi-goliath cranes
- Swing jib cranes
- Lightweight crane systems
- Hoists & monorails
- Crane runway systems
- Electric chain hoists
- Wire rope hoists
- Below-the-hook lifting equipment

02 · Contract Scope
What can be included in a maintenance contract?
Every site is different, so every maintenance contract should be built around the cranes, lifting equipment and operational demands of that site. A Granada Cranes contract can include:
- Scheduled crane servicing
- Preventative maintenance visits
- Mechanical inspections
- Electrical checks
- Hoist inspection & maintenance
- Brake checks & adjustments
- Wire rope & chain inspections
- Limit switch checks
- Crane control system checks
- Runway & rail observations
- Fault reporting
- Repair recommendations
- LOLER inspection support
- Testing & certification support
- Priority breakdown response
- Ongoing technical advice
The aim is simple: keep your cranes working safely, reduce downtime and give you a clear maintenance record. View Preventative Maintenance →
03 · Uptime
Reduce breakdowns and unplanned downtime.
Crane breakdowns can stop production, delay dispatch, restrict access to materials and create wider operational disruption. A planned maintenance contract helps reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures by checking key components at regular intervals.
Where problems are found, Granada Cranes can advise on the next steps and support any required repairs, replacement parts or further inspection — keeping small issues from becoming major failures.
What our engineers check for
- Worn or failing brakes
- Damaged wire ropes
- Faulty limit switches
- Electrical faults
- Control problems
- Abnormal noise or vibration
- Poor travel movement
- Early signs of component wear
04 · Compliance
Supporting safety and compliance.
Crane maintenance and a LOLER thorough examination are different things — but together they keep your lifting equipment safe and compliant. Granada Cranes can support both, helping you keep clear records and maintain safe lifting operations across your site.
Maintenance
Planned crane maintenance
Keeps your crane in good working condition through regular servicing and preventative checks — catching wear and faults early, before they cause downtime.
Compliance
LOLER thorough examination
A formal, statutory examination of lifting equipment at required intervals, carried out to confirm it remains safe to use.
Our team can advise on
- Service frequency
- LOLER inspection requirements
- Defect reporting
- Repair priorities
- Maintenance records
- Equipment condition
- Long-term crane reliability
- Upgrade or replacement advice
05 · Scalable Support
For single cranes and multi-crane sites.
Granada Cranes can support businesses with one crane, several cranes or complex multi-site lifting operations. For smaller sites, a contract provides confidence that key equipment is being checked by experienced engineers. For larger operations, a structured agreement helps organise schedules, reduce downtime and manage records across the site.
Single crane maintenance contracts
Multi-crane site maintenance
Hoist maintenance agreements

Planned preventative maintenance programmes
Maintenance across multiple UK sites
06 · Why Granada Cranes
Why choose us for crane maintenance?
Your maintenance provider should understand the equipment, the site environment and the cost of downtime. Granada Cranes combines engineering experience, national support and practical crane knowledge to deliver reliable maintenance for industrial customers.

Repair & breakdown support
If a defect or fault is found, we can support repairs, replacement parts and emergency breakdown response.
Long-term crane care
We support your cranes beyond routine servicing — including modernisation, upgrades, testing, certification and replacement advice.
07 · Which Is Right?
Maintenance contract or one-off service?
A one-off service can be useful for an individual inspection or visit. But a maintenance contract gives you a more structured approach to crane care. A contract is usually the better fit if:
- Your crane is used regularly
- Downtime would affect production
- You operate multiple cranes or hoists
- You need better maintenance records
- You want planned visits scheduled in advance
- You need ongoing support from engineers
- You want to reduce unexpected repair costs
- You want maintenance & LOLER aligned
For many industrial sites, a maintenance contract is the most practical way to keep lifting equipment safe, reliable and properly supported.
08 · Lifecycle Support
Maintenance after installation or modernisation.
If Granada Cranes has installed, relocated or modernised your crane, we can also provide a maintenance contract to support the equipment after handover. This helps ensure your crane is serviced correctly from the start and gives your team a clear support route for future inspections, adjustments, repairs and advice.
Maintenance contracts can also be reviewed over time as your equipment ages, your site changes or crane usage increases.

FAQs
Crane maintenance contract questions.
What is a crane maintenance contract?
A crane maintenance contract is an agreement for planned servicing and maintenance of your crane or lifting equipment. It usually includes scheduled visits, inspection of key components, fault reporting and recommendations for repair or further action.
Is crane maintenance the same as LOLER inspection?
No. Maintenance is focused on keeping equipment in good working condition. LOLER inspection is a formal thorough examination of lifting equipment. Many sites use both together.
How often should an overhead crane be maintained?
The right frequency depends on the crane type, usage, duty cycle, environment and condition. A crane used heavily every day may need more frequent maintenance than a crane used occasionally.
Can Granada Cranes maintain cranes from different manufacturers?
Yes. Granada Cranes is an independent crane specialist and can support a wide range of crane systems, hoists and lifting equipment from different manufacturers.
Can a maintenance contract include hoists?
Yes. Hoists can be included as part of a crane maintenance contract. This may include electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists and associated lifting equipment.
Do maintenance contracts include repairs?
A contract will usually identify and report issues during planned visits. Repairs may be carried out separately depending on the issue, the parts required and the terms of the agreement.
Can you provide emergency breakdown support as part of a contract?
Yes. Granada Cranes can support breakdown repairs and emergency callouts. Priority support may be available depending on the agreed maintenance package.
Can you maintain multiple cranes across one site?
Yes. Granada Cranes can support single-crane sites, multi-crane sites and larger industrial operations with multiple pieces of lifting equipment.
