Know Where to Focus…
Areas We Assess:
01 - Operation
Overhead cranes are designed for a specific application/environment and usage. Design constraints and crane limitations are determined by the Safe Working Load (SWL), cycles & hours in operation.
02 - Maintenance
Design, classification, installation, environment, operation as well as maintenance all effects the overall “Useful Life” of a crane. Having the correct approach in terms of risk prioritisation, tactics, skills, contractor- and spares management can prevent unintended failures.
03 - Systems & Supervision
Systems, procedures, and effective leadership is what prevents deterioration and incidents on cranes. If a crane owner has ineffective, outdated and impractical systems/procedures combined with poor leadership, risk increases. Crane owners are responsible for compliance in terms of standards and local regulations.
04 - Design
Cranes are designed for a specific duty (classification) based on fatigue life. Using cranes outside their design envelope means increased risk and rate of deterioration. Understanding and quantifying the actual vs. theoretical design parameters of a crane (i.e. if the crane is being used as intended) is crucial for a crane owner.

We Help Clients To “Close The Loop” - Effectively.
CrEng is a team of professional engineers, engineers (mechanical & electrical), technicians, LMI’s & specialists focussing on the inspection, assessment, design, and legal compliance of lifting machinery (overhead traveling cranes, hoists, tower cranes etc.) including all associated structures and equipment. The team has more than 4 decades combined experience with 300+ cranes/hoists inspected and reported on by means of a holistic, risk-bases approach encompassing structural, mechanical, electrical systemic and legal aspects.
Through the years, CrEng has formed relationships with the industry’s OEM’s and service providers, giving us the edge in the service we provide. However, CrEng is an independent with no intent of selling or marketing of cranes, parts, components or maintenance services. CrEng specialises in identifying, prioritising and reducing risk in a cost-effective and safe manner by providing clients with an accurate and holistic perspective on the condition of their assets.
