Installing your Lifting Equipment

Jib crane installation Some types of lifting gear can be difficult or impossible to install yourselves. For certain items of lifting equipment, especially the ones that are   going to handle heavy loads it is imperative that they are installed correctly, according to the manufacturer’s instructions; If they are not then there could be a possible catastrophe.


Jib cranes are usually a type of fixed crane and whether they are to be fitted to a wall, column or floor, the correct materials must be used and   procedures must be followed. Our own team of installation engineers are highly experienced in this area and will ensure your crane is installed   with   care and tested for safety and stability. The highest quality, correct, tried and tested fittings are always used whether they are special   chemical   compounds or nuts and bolts; so you can rest assured the crane will remain in place for a seriously long time.

As well as our crane systems, we can also offer hoist installations. Powered hoisting systems like electric hoists or air hoists can be heavy and   awkward to fit; they will also need to be wired in by a qualified electrician to ensure they will operate safely. Our engineers are also experienced   electricians and will be happy to install your chosen hoist where it is required, and ensure it is working correctly before leaving site.
