Manchester, Greater Manchester
Choose overhead or gantry layouts across Greater Manchester where floor value, building capacity and urban access vary by site.
Manchester site planning
Building-supported cranes preserve valuable floor routes in large warehouses, while independent structures can solve capacity limits in older units. The trade-off changes by premises. External gantries also need design for weather and intensive vehicle interaction.
A Trafford Park warehouse, an Oldham factory and a Stockport engineering unit can share corporate standards while needing different access, duty and maintenance plans. Records should keep those site identities clear across a regional estate.

Local FAQ
Some systems can be altered or relocated, but foundations, stability, new geometry and compliance require a fresh engineered assessment.
An overhead crane is usually best where suitable runway support is available. A gantry or portal crane can provide independent support where the building cannot carry the loads or where the lift is outdoors.
Yes. We survey the crane, runway or foundations, confirm the new duty and plan removal and installation around the site.
Yes. We cover Trafford Park, Salford and Eccles, Stockport, Oldham and the M60 corridor and surrounding parts of Greater Manchester. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
