Whether runway beams or rails exist
Any access restrictions on site
Occasional, daily or heavy-duty use
Even if you don't have all of this information yet, our team can help you work through the requirements.
FAQs
Overhead crane installation questions.
What is involved in overhead crane installation?
Overhead crane installation usually involves a site survey, crane specification, runway or support structure assessment, crane supply, installation, testing, certification and handover. The exact process depends on the type of crane, the building structure and the lifting requirements of the site.
Do you install cranes in existing buildings?
Yes. We support crane installations in both new and existing industrial buildings. Existing sites may require additional checks around building structure, access, runway beams, power supply and available headroom.
Can you install crane rails and runway systems?
Yes. Where required, Granada Cranes can support crane rail and runway system installation as part of a wider overhead crane installation project.
Do you provide testing and certification after installation?
Yes. Once the crane has been installed, we can support testing, certification and handover so the equipment is ready for safe use.
Can you help specify the right crane before installation?
Yes. If you're unsure which crane system is right for your operation, our team can advise on crane type, lifting capacity, span, duty cycle, hoist options and installation requirements.
Do you provide maintenance after installation?
Yes. We provide ongoing crane servicing, preventative maintenance, LOLER inspection support, repairs and modernisation services after installation.
