Frequently asked questions

01.
Do you offer training services for overhead crane operators?
No, for now, Groupe Industriel Premium does not offer training for overhead crane operators. However, they recommend a partner company, SP Services-Conseils Prévention, for their expertise in this field. To learn more about training requirements, you can check out the article here: Is overhead crane operator training mandatory?
02.
When is it best to install an overhead crane in a new building?
On most construction sites, it is recommended to proceed with the installation of the overhead crane once the building is enclosed, the floor is completed, and electricity is available. This allows the installation to be done in a single mobilization, which is more efficient and reduces costs. However, it is necessary to ensure that a clear area on the floor is available to allow for the safe maneuvering of the overhead crane during installation.
03.
Can the lifting capacity of an existing overhead crane be increased?

Yes, it’s sometimes possible, but it’s not guaranteed.

Increasing the capacity of an overhead crane involves more than just replacing the hoist. The entire system must be evaluated to ensure that every component can handle the increased load. Here are the main elements to check:

  • Is the main girder designed for the intended load?
  • Are the end trucks (wheels and gear motors) compatible with a higher capacity?
  • Can the runway, rails, and supporting structure withstand the additional stress?

In some cases, a well-planned modification can eliminate the need to purchase a new crane. In others, the costs or risks associated with the upgrade may be too high. An inspection can sometimes help determine whether an upgrade is feasible or if replacement is the better option.

Our recommendation: Before making any decisions, have your system (crane and runway) evaluated by a qualified engineer.
