Case Study

Heat Treatment Case Study

Testimonial: Alloy Heat

“We’ve been using Crane Services for over 30 years. Their technical expertise is second to none whilst their service and technical ability is excellent.

Moving materials around our factory is a critical part of our business. We commissioned Crane Services to design and install an overhead travelling crane which, after 22 years of service, is still actively used today.

Not only does Crane Services look after our overhead lifting equipment, they also offer advice and assistance, providing us with valuable consultancy whenever we need it.

We’ve found the Flex Radio Control system particularly useful in our metal processing and continue to deliver improved efficiencies across the board.

With rapid response key to our business success, response times are great and we can call upon Crane Services 24 hours a day.

I  rarely give suppliers 10 out of 10 but I do make an exception for Crane Services, they are fantastic.”

Adrian Church, Alloy Heat

Case Study: Essar Steel

As the largest independently owned rolled steel processor in the UK and unique in being able to offer a “one stop shop” service for SCS, Pickling and Oiling in coil form together with Slitting and Decoiling, the necessity to be able to move materials safely and efficiently around the site is critical.

Since 2008, Essar have used Crane Services for the supply of crane spare parts, having already installed Flex Radio control systems throughout their production facility, which has assisted their processes and helped to create a lean production environment.

“The simplicity of their Flex Radio control system, coupled with the price and availability of spares were both important elements in our decision to use Crane Services”.

Testimonial: Essar Steel

“Their staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional and, unlike competitors radio control systems that are fragile and unreliable, we have found Flex Radio to be a perfect addition to our lifting and moving solutions. We now have Flex Radio Controls systems on all of our cranes.”

Martin Skidmore, Essar Steel
