Granada Cranes provides professional overhead crane repairs for industrial sites across the UK. From mechanical faults and electrical issues to hoist problems, brake repairs, wire rope defects and control system faults, our experienced crane engineers can inspect, diagnose and repair a wide range of overhead crane systems.
A faulty overhead crane can affect production, safety, material handling and site efficiency. Whether the issue has been found during routine maintenance, a LOLER inspection, daily operation or a breakdown, Granada Cranes can help identify the cause and recommend the right repair solution. We support overhead cranes, gantry cranes, bridge cranes, hoists, monorails, jib cranes and associated lifting equipment across a wide range of industrial environments.
Overhead cranes are relied on every day in manufacturing, engineering, warehousing, logistics, steelwork, aerospace and heavy-duty industrial environments. When a crane develops a fault, it is important to act quickly before the issue becomes more serious.
Granada Cranes provides overhead crane repair services for both planned and reactive requirements. This may include repairing known defects, responding to operational faults, rectifying inspection issues or carrying out repairs as part of a wider maintenance programme.
Crane faults can develop for many reasons, including wear, age, heavy use, poor alignment, damaged components, electrical failure, lack of servicing or harsh operating conditions. Granada Cranes can inspect and repair a wide range of common overhead crane faults, including:
If a repair is not the most suitable long-term option, our team can also advise on replacement parts, upgrades, modernisation or full crane replacement.
Not every crane repair is an emergency. Some issues are identified during planned maintenance, operator checks, inspections or routine servicing. Others appear suddenly and need a faster response. Granada Cranes can support both.
Useful when a fault has been identified but the crane can still be managed safely until repair work is scheduled — helping reduce disruption and avoid unnecessary downtime. This may include brake replacement, wire rope replacement, component replacement, control upgrades, runway adjustments or defect rectification following inspection.
Required when a crane develops a fault unexpectedly or can no longer operate safely. Granada Cranes can help diagnose the issue, advise on safe next steps and carry out the required repair work where possible.
Mechanical faults can affect the safety, reliability and performance of an overhead crane. Worn or damaged components can lead to poor operation, abnormal noise, reduced lifting performance or unsafe movement. Granada Cranes can support mechanical crane repairs involving:
Where appropriate, we can also advise whether replacement parts, refurbishment or modernisation would provide a better long-term solution.
Electrical and control faults can be difficult to diagnose without specialist crane knowledge. A crane may fail to respond, move intermittently, stop unexpectedly or behave inconsistently due to issues within the control system, power supply, cabling, pendant, radio control or safety circuits. We can support electrical crane repairs involving:
If the crane control system is outdated or unreliable, we can also advise on suitable upgrades as part of a wider crane modernisation project.
Many overhead crane faults are linked to the hoist. If the hoist is not lifting correctly, lowering smoothly or responding as expected, the crane may not be safe or practical to use.
Granada Cranes can repair and service hoists used on overhead crane systems, including electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists, open barrel hoists and travelling hoists.
If defects are identified during a LOLER inspection or thorough examination, they should be dealt with properly before the equipment is returned to normal service.
Granada Cranes can support repair work following inspection defects. Our engineers can help you understand the issue, the level of risk and the most appropriate repair route — so your lifting equipment can be brought back into safe working condition.
In some cases, a repair is the most practical and cost-effective option. In others, repeated faults may be a sign that the crane or hoist is becoming unreliable, difficult to maintain or no longer suitable for the way the site operates. Granada Cranes can advise on the right route. This may be relevant if:
Where modernisation is more suitable, we can advise on control upgrades, hoist replacement, radio remote conversion, braking systems, load monitoring, safety improvements and wider crane refurbishment.
Choosing the right crane repair company is important. Repairs need to be handled by engineers who understand the full crane system, not just the individual fault.
We can support a wide range of crane systems, hoists, controls and components from different manufacturers.
Our engineers can help diagnose and repair both mechanical and electrical crane faults.
We can assess the wider lifting system, including the crane, hoist, runway, controls, brakes and safety devices.
Following repair work, we can provide ongoing servicing and maintenance to help reduce the risk of repeat faults.
We support industrial customers across the UK with crane repairs, servicing, maintenance, inspections and breakdown support.
If your overhead crane is not operating correctly, has failed an inspection or needs repair work, Granada Cranes can help. To provide the most useful advice, it helps to know:
Even if you do not have all of this information, our team can help identify the next steps.

Yes. This page is for broader overhead crane repair work, including planned and reactive repairs. For urgent breakdowns, Granada Cranes also provides breakdown repair support.
Yes. Hoists are often central to crane repair work. We can support electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists, open barrel hoists and travelling hoists.
Yes. If defects are found during a LOLER inspection, Granada Cranes can advise on the repair work required and help bring the equipment back into safe working condition.
Yes. Granada Cranes is an independent crane specialist and can support a wide range of overhead crane systems, hoists and components from different manufacturers.
If repair is not practical or cost-effective, Granada Cranes can advise on modernisation, replacement parts, hoist replacement or a new crane system.
Repair work is usually handled separately from planned maintenance, but maintenance contracts can help identify faults earlier and reduce the risk of unexpected repair work.
