Plants move heavy parts all day, and the overhead, gantry and jib cranes that do it are production equipment — when they stop, the line stops. Kranes supplies, installs and services in-plant lifting built to CSA B167, from a single jib over a machine cell to a double-girder overhead crane spanning the bay, plus the hoists, controls and parts that keep them running. Tell us the loads, the span and the duty cycle, and we quote a system matched to how your floor actually works.
Inside a plant the lifting is fixed and repetitive, so the crane is part of the process line rather than a visitor to it. A single jib crane serves one machine cell or weld station; a workstation or monorail system feeds a production line; and a single- or double-girder overhead crane spans the whole bay for the heaviest in-plant moves. The right mix depends on the loads, the bay geometry and how many times an hour the lift repeats.
Kranes supplies, installs and services this in-plant lifting end to end, built to CSA B167 for the duty class your floor actually runs. That covers new overhead and gantry cranes, jib cranes over machine cells, the wire-rope and electric chain hoists that ride them, and the controls and runway that tie it together. When an older crane is sound but slow or hard to control, a hoist and control upgrade modernises it without replacing the structure.
Specifying plant lifting comes down to capacity, span, lift height and duty cycle. Tell Kranes the loads, the bay and how hard the crane works, and we engineer a system matched to the floor — neither under-built for the duty nor over-specified for the budget. Installation is sequenced around production so the new crane goes in with the least possible downtime, and existing runways are checked or upgraded to carry it.
A production crane that stops stops the line, so service and parts are the real value behind it. Kranes runs preventive maintenance, inspection and certification, aligns runways and stocks the hoists, brakes, controls and parts to keep the crane under load. Tell us the loads, the span and the duty cycle, and we quote a system — and the service behind it — matched to how your plant actually works, anywhere in Canada.
