The power industry depends on heavy-duty lifting systems for installing and maintaining critical infrastructure. Cranesmith’s overhead and gantry cranes are built to handle large transformers, generators, and turbines with precision and safety.
Applications and Uses:
- Power Plant Maintenance: Overhead cranes lift and position massive generators and turbines, facilitating installation and routine maintenance in power plants.
- Substation Equipment Handling: Gantry cranes are used to move heavy electrical components like transformers into place during the construction of substations.
- Turbine Assembly and Repairs: Jib cranes provide local control for smaller-scale lifting, ideal for assembly and repairs within power plants.
Possible solutions to Power and Energy Industry in collaboration with STREET HOISTS :
- Street has played an important role in all aspects of materials handling and maintenance for the power generation industry. With more than 70 years of experience, we have proven ability supplying cranes and hoists from 1 tonne to 120 tonne capacity to suit many applications throughout this sector.
- Today the power generation industry is very diverse with handling applications from low duty, heavy-lift turbine hall maintenance cranes to high-duty, continuous operation waste-to-energy process applications. Cranes must be able to work in extremely tough environments with precision and of course safely. Even in low-duty applications reliability is paramount when cranes are called upon at short notice following periods of inactivity, they must be available.
- Globally, Street Crane has hundreds of successful installations in almost every type of power plant, including waste-to-energy, coal, oil and gas-fired power stations as well nuclear power plants where additional safety and/or fail-safe solutions are a requirement. Each situation offers a unique challenge and more recently with the shift towards green energy and renewables, our knowledge and experience has proven invaluable with Street cranes now performing key roles in many wind turbine and blade manufacturing facilities around the world.
