Cranes & Hoists Workshop Services
Our Cranes & Hoists workshop page; provide expert inspection, repair, maintenance, and modernization services for all major types of industrial lifting equipment — overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, hoists (electric, chain and wire-rope), and trolley systems. Our goal is safe, compliant, and reliable lifting operations that minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
What we do at New Tonne

– Repairs & Replacements: Fast, on-site or in-shop repairs for structural damage, worn gearing, motor failures, electrical faults, brake and clutch replacement, and component refurbishment.
– Overhauls & Refurbishment: Complete tear-down rebuilds, load path alignment, repainting, corrosion protection, and re-certification to restore older equipment to like-new condition.
– Modernization & Upgrades: Retrofit controls (VFDs, PLCs), safety systems (anti-collision, anti-sway), wireless controls, remote monitoring, custom pendant or radio control solutions, and energy-efficient motor replacements.

Quick tips for operators
– Keep daily pre-use checklists and logbooks.
– Report unusual noises, drifting, or brake issues immediately.
– Schedule preventive maintenance based on usage intensity, not just calendar time.
– Replace wire rope or load chain at the first sign of severe wear, kinking, or corrosion.
