*Granada Cranes Latest Install*

Been quiet with the LinkedIn posts recently showcasing our finished product, but that’s from lack of being busy I assure you!

This 10T underslung single girder crane installed to go with 3 other cranes of the same spec previously installed for one of our loyal customers in the Birmingham area.

Great effort from all involved from fabrication in the workshop, to installation with Liam Rodgers, and special mention to Chris from Walkers transport, top job as always!

Excited to announce the successful installation of a brand-new, 10,000kg Granada Cranes single girder box beam crane for a valued repeat customer. This project was not just about replacing the existing 3,200kg crane but represented a significant upgrade to the entire gantry system. With the addition of extra legs and uprated gantry beams, we’ve enhanced forklift access, ensuring a smoother workflow for our client. The installation also included the integration of new cross bracings to the now uprated gantry, reinforcing the structure’s integrity and safety.

Being involved in every stage of this crane’s journey, from fabrication and welding of the new crane, installation of the extra gantry columns, to the final installation and commissioning, has been a profoundly rewarding experience. It’s projects like these that showcase the depth of our team’s expertise and our commitment to delivering excellence.

I’m incredibly proud of the effort and dedication demonstrated by everyone at Granada Cranes. From the initial survey to the final handover, the project was executed seamlessly, despite the challenges posed by the tight space and limited access. This achievement is a testament to our team’s problem-solving skills and their unwavering focus on client satisfaction.

A huge thank you to our team and to our repeat client for trusting us once again with your needs. Here’s to many more successful projects!

Out with the old. In with the new ⚡️

More brilliant work by our engineers over the weekend.

A replacement C Rail system
A new 30m Colton Busbar System installed by Brad Francis & colleagues for our customer in Hereford.

One from last week for one if our customers in Hereford. The report came in that the top hat bush from the top of the jib arm had worn away. On further inspection it was discovered that the shaft and top boss cap had worn significantly

Jib arm loaded onto a wagon and sent back to our yard for repair by our fabricators.

Repairs made, shaft replaced, jib arm reinstalled and put back in service within a few days, along with a replacement load chain too

Well its a first for me, snapped shaft inside a hoist motor! As well as a wedge sheared off the shaft alongside the coupling keyway. No wonder the crane wouldn’t hoist

New temporary end stops fitted to two cranes for one of our customers in Hereford. New bus bar system has been installed and required the cross travel to be shortened so it doesn’t foul the new down chops.

Measurements taken yesterday morning, temporary stops fitted this morning. One day turn around to accommodate the 48 hour shutdown of the bay. Fabricated in the yard by one if our service engineers Liam Rodgers, awesome job! Even manufactured a Lindap system to prevent any welding or drilling!

Painted on site due to them being piping hot leaving the workshop to suit the customers time frame!

Long travel brake unit replacement on this 15T Wellaman crane for one of our customers in Hereford.

After a long standing issue with the old thruster brake unit, it was time for an upgrade and a bit of modernisation. With the help of the on site machine shop modifying the new drum, making it like for like with the old one, so it marries up perfectly with the same motor shaft coupling and gearbox drive shaft.

Completed by myself, Flo Williams and Barry Steer, great job
