We install, service, and certify 5-Tonne gantry cranes across the UK—keeping your lifting equipment safe, compliant, and operational with fast response times and expert engineering support.
5-Tonne gantry cranes are commonly used in manufacturing, logistics, and engineering sectors for efficient, safe mid-weight lifting.
We install, repair, and certify 5t cranes of all types—offering bespoke builds, breakdown response, and full LOLER compliance documentation nationwide.
Our engineers maintain and repair every common 5-Tonne gantry configuration, whether fixed, mobile, or suspended. These lighter cranes are popular in workshops, warehouses, and logistics hubs—often using single-girder systems with chain hoists or rope hoists.
We carry parts for most 5t systems on our vehicles, helping us fix issues quickly on the first visit.
Whether it’s a worn contactor, failing brake, or broken buzz bar, we’ll identify the fault, fit the replacement, and issue your compliance documents.
Our engineers respond fast, carry parts, and issue full LOLER paperwork.
Whether you need a routine inspection or urgent breakdown repair, we’re ready.
From part sourcing to certification, here are the most common questions we get from facilities managers and engineers working with 5t lifting systems.
Yes, absolutely. We work on both modern and legacy 5-Tonne systems, including those installed decades ago or supplied by manufacturers no longer in business. Our engineers are trained to identify worn or failing components and source either OEM replacements or safe, compatible alternatives. Whether it’s an outdated pendant, ageing control panel, or worn load rope, we’ll find the right fix. We’ve helped clients extend the life of older cranes with targeted upgrades instead of full replacements—often saving them thousands in the process.
A typical service includes a full visual inspection of structural and mechanical components, lubrication of moving parts, checking for signs of wear (especially on chains, ropes, and brake systems), and testing all electrical and safety controls. We also review the hoist alignment, trolley travel, pendant operation, and end stops. If required, we can carry out LOLER inspections and load testing during the same visit. You’ll receive a comprehensive service report documenting any defects, future risks, and a record for your compliance and insurance needs.
Yes—if the part affects the safe operation or lifting capability of the crane. This includes components like load chains, brakes, limit switches, or control systems. Even a minor part replacement can legally trigger a requirement for re-certification under LOLER, especially if it alters the lifting performance or safety profile of the equipment. We always include LOLER inspections where required and issue the proper documentation to ensure you remain fully compliant. It’s not just a box-ticking exercise—it protects your operators and your business.
Absolutely. We regularly service and repair cranes installed by third parties. It doesn’t matter who installed it—if it’s a 5-Tonne gantry crane, we can support it. Many of our clients come to us because the original supplier no longer offers service support or has gone out of business. We can step in to provide regular servicing, ad-hoc repairs, and full LOLER compliance—even if we’ve never seen the crane before. We’re also happy to advise on maintenance schedules and safety upgrades tailored to your crane’s age and usage.
5-Tonne cranes are widely used across the UK industry—particularly in manufacturing, fabrication, warehousing, engineering workshops, and transport hubs. They’re popular because they offer strong lifting power in a compact footprint. We often see them used to move machinery, raw materials, engine blocks, pallets, and steel sections. If your operation involves regular, repeatable mid-weight lifting, a 5-Tonne gantry crane is an efficient and safe choice—especially when serviced by a team that understands your industry and equipment.
