We install industrial cranes safely and reliably, and our goal is to make sure you feel confident throughout the entire process. Whether you need an overhead crane, gantry crane, jib crane, or hoist system, we take time to plan every stage carefully so the installation fits your space, workflow, and safety requirements. Our team evaluates your site, checks structural conditions, and prepares the right setup so your crane operates smoothly and meets compliance standards. We test every component and verify all safety functions before handover because we want you to start using your crane without worry. Once installation is complete, we walk you through the operating steps and safety practices, so you or your operators understand how to use the system correctly and maintain productivity. We also offer spare parts and ongoing support, giving you long-term confidence and peace of mind as you use your crane.
Why choose Yuantai for crane installation
At Yuantai, we design and install complete lifting systems based on what you need and how your facility works. Our product and service range covers everything from compact hoists used for light lifting to large fully engineered bridge cranes built for heavy industrial use, and you can choose from standard models or fully customized solutions depending on your space, capacity, and workflow. Our team has hands-on experience in real installation environments, so we handle the details that many people overlook, such as coordinating civil foundations, mechanical assembly, and electrical control integration to make sure everything works as one system without delays or safety concerns. We document every step clearly so you always know what stage your project is in, and once installation is complete, we provide operator training so your team feels confident using the equipment safely and efficiently. After handover, we continue to support you with spare parts, on-site servicing, and long-term maintenance plans so your crane stays reliable. These steps create a smooth experience and help build trust because you always know you’re supported—not only during installation, but long after your crane is running.
Our installation services
We provide full installation packages. Each package includes planning, site preparation, mechanical installation, electrical wiring, testing, training, and handover. Our goal is to make the process smooth and reliable, so your crane is ready to operate safely and efficiently from day one. We focus on every detail, from the first survey to the final handover, helping you avoid delays and unexpected costs. You can trust that our team ensures your crane works exactly as designed, while providing clear guidance so you know how to operate and maintain it.
1. Site survey and layout planning
We visit your site to gather all essential measurements. This includes the crane span, headroom, and the available floor or foundation space. We inspect load paths and the structure of your building. We record power availability, cable routing, and other infrastructure details. Using this information, we create a detailed installation plan and a risk assessment. A thorough survey ensures there are no surprises during installation and sets the foundation for a safe and efficient crane setup.
2. Civil and foundation works
We advise on foundation size, reinforcement, and concrete quality. For column-mounted or pillar cranes, we verify anchor bolt patterns and concrete strength. For runway beams, we check foundation stability and allowable settlement. Proper civil work is crucial. It prevents misalignment, reduces premature wear, and ensures your crane remains safe and reliable over time.
3. Runway and rail installation
We align the runway rails and support brackets to tight tolerances, shimming and bolting them as required. We measure both horizontal and vertical straightness to ensure perfect alignment. Correct runway installation reduces wear on wheels and rails. It improves the lifespan of your crane and ensures smooth, safe operation.
4. Bridge, girder, and trolley fitting
We lift and accurately position bridge girders and trolleys, securing end trucks and verifying wheel loads. We check hoist alignment and trolley travel, torquing all fasteners properly. Ensuring correct clearances and precise installation guarantees smooth operation and reduces maintenance needs.
5. Hoist and electrical fit-up
We mount hoists, connect control panels, and install power supply systems. Cable festoons or busbar systems are installed according to your site layout. We clearly label circuits and provide wiring diagrams for easy reference. Proper electrical installation is key for safe, trouble-free crane operation.
6. Control and safety devices
We fit limit switches, pendant or radio controls, overload protection, and emergency stops. Travel and height limiters are installed and tested. Interlocks and safety circuits are verified. These steps ensure your crane operates safely for both operators and nearby staff.
7. Testing and commissioning
We perform no-load, light-load, and full-load tests. Speed, braking, positioning, and endurance cycles are carefully checked. Current draw is measured and compared with design specifications. All test results are documented, and settings adjusted if needed. Thorough testing guarantees reliability and confirms the crane meets all safety and performance standards.
8. Training and handover
We train operators and maintenance staff to ensure confident, safe usage. Operating manuals, wiring diagrams, and maintenance checklists are provided. Commissioning data is recorded, and a labeled parts list is handed over. You leave with a fully operational crane, clear instructions, and the confidence to operate it safely.
Safety and compliance
We install according to both local and international safety practices, making sure each step meets recognized standards. On site, we strictly follow safe lifting procedures, using certified lifting gear that we test thoroughly before every use. All risk assessments and permit requirements are carefully documented, so you have clear records and peace of mind. During design and commissioning, we recommend meeting all local regulations and industry standards to prevent issues down the line. We also guide you on required inspections and periodic statutory exams, so your crane remains safe and fully compliant throughout its service life. Safety is non-negotiable, and by following these measures, you can confidently operate your crane knowing both your people and your equipment are protected.
Quality assurance and warranty
We inspect all critical parts carefully before installation to make sure every component meets the highest standards. Our team uses calibrated measuring tools to ensure precision at every stage. We supply only genuine spare parts and strongly recommend scheduled inspections to keep your crane running safely and efficiently. If you need additional support, we offer flexible service contracts tailored to your needs. We stand behind every installation with a documented handover and ongoing support, giving you peace of mind and confidence that your equipment is protected.
Case studies and references
We have completed installations across manufacturing, warehousing, and heavy-industry sites. Our experience covers a wide range of projects, from small workshops needing lightweight jib cranes to large industrial facilities requiring custom gantry cranes or heavy-duty overhead systems. Each installation is tailored to the specific needs of the site, ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

You can see how different industries rely on our solutions for lifting heavy loads safely and efficiently.
Documentation we provide
When you buy a crane, having complete and clear documentation is crucial. It helps you understand your crane, operate it safely, and maintain it efficiently. We provide a detailed site survey report that shows exactly how your crane will fit and work in your space. You’ll also get mechanical and electrical installation drawings, which guide your team through correct setup and prevent costly mistakes. Commissioning and test reports are included so you can see that your crane has been thoroughly inspected and is ready to perform. The operation manual and maintenance checklist explain how to run your crane safely and keep it in top condition. Finally, we give you a parts list with recommended spares, making it easy to replace worn items and minimize downtime. Make sure you provide all these documents to your maintenance team and keep them close to the crane for quick reference whenever you need guidance.
