Engineered for real industrial environments. Manufactured for reliability. Installed for long-term performance.
At AC Crane Maintenance, we design, manufacture, install and commission complete overhead crane systems for demanding industrial environments across South Africa.
We do not simply assemble generic kits. Every crane system is engineered around real operating conditions, structural forces, production demands and long-term reliability.
From runway beams and crane girders to electrical control systems, VSD drives, wireless controls and commissioning - we take responsibility for the complete lifting system.
In-house structural manufacturing & fabrication
Overhead crane systems designed for industrial duty cycles
Engineered to applicable OHSA, DMR and SANS requirements
Load testing, certification & commissioning support
Most crane failures are not caused by lifting loads - they are caused by poor engineering, incorrect installation, bad runway alignment and improper load distribution.
A crane lifting 5 tons occasionally is completely different from a crane lifting 5 tons continuously in production.
We engineer cranes according to real operational duty classifications, lifting frequency and industrial production cycles.
Every crane transfers wheel loads and horizontal forces into the building structure and runway system.
Poor calculations lead to rail wear, skewing, wheel failures and structural damage.
Modern cranes require load limiting devices, emergency stop systems, limit switches, braking systems and overload protection.
Safety systems are not optional - they are critical for legal compliance and operator safety.
Incorrect runway alignment is one of the biggest causes of crane wheel wear and gearbox failures.
Precision alignment ensures smooth crane travel, longer component life and reduced maintenance costs.
Most industrial crane breakdowns are electrical - not structural.
We integrate VSD systems, dual-speed controls, wireless remotes and industrial-grade electrical panels.
Cranes should not only work when new - they should remain serviceable for years.
We focus heavily on maintenance accessibility, spare part support and long-term reliability.
Industrial lifting equipment in South Africa is regulated under the Occupational Health & Safety Act, Driven Machinery Regulations and applicable SANS safety standards. Correct crane design, manufacturing, installation, testing and maintenance are essential for safe operation and legal compliance.
SANS 10375 covers the inspection, testing and examination of cranes. This supports safe operation, planned maintenance and proper certification.
Cranes and lifting equipment must be designed, tested, inspected, maintained and operated according to accepted technical standards.
Load testing is required after new installations, major repairs, relocation, structural modifications or changes affecting safe operation.
Cranes, hoists and lifting tackle require planned inspections and documented records to support safe use and compliance audits.
Structural components, wire ropes, chains, shackles, hooks, beams and crane systems must be selected and manufactured to recognised standards.
Inspection reports, load test certificates, service history and crane log books should be kept available for audits, safety reviews and legal files.
Our crane systems are used across manufacturing plants, steel workshops, engineering environments, warehouses, mining projects and industrial facilities.

Nationwide installations & support
If your crane is constantly breaking down, the problem usually starts with poor engineering, poor installation or incorrect system design.
We design crane systems around real industrial conditions - not assumptions.
Serving Johannesburg, Benoni, Boksburg, Springs and all Gauteng areas.
We design, manufacture, supply and install overhead cranes, jib cranes and gantry systems across South Africa and Africa.
