Our team recently manufactured and installed a new 1T capacity Swing Jib Crane after a total in-house fabrication. The crane has a height of 4.5m from the underside of the beam to the finished floor level. The radius of the arm is 4.25m, with a manual slew, an electric hoist, and an electric travelling trolley. This Swing Jib Crane was installed for a customer in Hertfordshire.

We recently completed an installation of a 12.5T Safe Working Load (SWL) Goliath crane with a 30 metre span at JRL Trent Precast in Skelmersdale. The crane was installed with travel beacons, storm anchors, wireless remote controls, and anti-collision sensors to prevent unwanted collision with long travel and cross travel buffers.
In the images below you can see the main beam leaving our workshop in Mansfield.

We have installed 4x 5T Safe Working Load (SWL) Single Girder Overhead Gantry Cranes. These are new cranes, where we have designed a solution to allow for additional lifting height by stooling the cranes up, as seen in the images. The cranes have been fitted with our latest technology, including: anti-collision sensors, slow down stops at the end of the gantry, remote controlled movement of the cranes and hoist, and the new load monitor hoist which displays the weight lifted digitally on the hoist. The load monitor hoist will also alert the operators if they have exceeded the recommended maximum load, reinforcing operator safety .
Our team have done a great job from the design & manufacturing through to the upgrades and installation on these Overhead Gantry Cranes.

We recently installed a 3.2T Safe Working Load (SWL) Overhead Crane into the workshop at Aburnets in Ilkeston. We used the existing building structured and designed the rails, and full system to suit the existing building. The crane will be used for the lifting of beams and the manufacturing of hair nets.
“We have used Harold Potter for years. We have a long-standing relationship as they have always offered a reliable friendly service. Harold Potter are great at problem-solving, are very contactable, and easy to work with. It’s a collaborative two-way working approach, and they work with you to give you the knowledge on what you need. Harold Potter supplied us with a 3200kg SWL gantry crane that was installed and adapted to the existing building structure.”

Installation of two Overhead Cranes for Garmendale Engineering in Ilkeston. This project included the design and manufacturing so the cranes we supplied would fit into two existing but separate workshops. Harold Potter installed one 7.5T Safe Working Load (SWL) Overhead Crane in one building, and a second crane was a 8.5T SWL Overhead Crane. These cranes are used in assistance of moving and constructing engineering solutions for theme park rides and carriages.
“Harold Potter are our one stop Overhead Crane supplier and will be for years to come. They are always there for us in terms of contact and are reactive problem solvers. They offer an incredibly quick turnaround to meet our ever-demanding schedules. We have had a 7500kg SWL Overhead Crane and an 8000kg SWL Overhead Crane installed. Harold Potter don’t only supply the crane, they engineer a solution to fit in existing building structures and properties. Harold Potter worked with us to design the rails, the track, and the system. They offered great advice on which crane we needed and explained the pros and cons of the options we had. They even assisted us with whether to use pendant controls or remote controls for our crane. We have an existing service contract, and our cranes have been ultra reliable since installation. We would be lost without them.”

Installation and modification of multiple Overhead Cranes at the Vistry Group factory in Coalville. We installed two Overhead Cranes with two chain hoists that have a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1T. We also installed another crane that was a tandem system to an existing crane so we changed the hoist on the existing crane. Finally, we did a gantry extension with a buzz bar installation.
The cranes are used in the Vistry Group factory for lifting and handling of large timber frames and panels that are used for the housing industry.
“We (The Vistry Group) were initially recommended by another crane company near Nottingham who couldn’t provide the service we were after. So they recommended Harold Potter. Harold Potter has supplied us with multiple new cranes, modifications to existing cranes that weren’t originally supplied by them, breakdown callouts and more. We have completed a variety of projects with Harold Potter that we are very pleased with. We are currently working together through their service contract offer. They have always been there when we have asked, and we can really feel the benefit of a local company that we can rely on. We are always appreciative of the direct contact with the Harold Potter team. They always find a solution to any issue we come across. Our work consists of lifting timber frames and panels. Harold Potter have been perfect in supplying the correct crane for our operations. We look forward to calling upon Harold Potter for new cranes when the time comes for a new project.”

A previously used double girder electric overhead travelling crane was modified, overheauled, delivered & installed. This was for our Orkney based client, Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd. The aim of the crane was to assist with the outfitting of their unique Tidal Turbine.
Special measures had to be taken to coordinate the transportation of the crane components, plant & materials to site due to the remote location. At Harold Potter Ltd, we relish the thought of a challenge. We stepped up to the mark to deliver the crane on time and precisely to the client’s specification.
The crane (as seen in photo) is a 10 tonne Safe Working Load Demag overhead travelling crane with a span of 10mtr, 5mtr Height of Lift and has a 12mtr length free standing gantry. The cross travel motors were fitted with inverter drives to allow for precise positioning of the hook for delicate operations.

A previously used 25 tonne SWL double girder Demag overhead travelling crane was overhauled, supplied & installed for our Nottingham based client. This was to accommodate their expansion requirements.
The crane bridge length was modified to suit the existing gantry then cleaned and painted. The cross travel electrics were replaced for new equipment as is the standard of all our previously used cranes. All long travel and cross travel motors including the wire rope hoist were serviced and underwent a Report of Thorough Examination before leaving our workshop. A new control panel was made by our electricians to incorporate inverter driven cross and long travel motions. This enabled soft start and stop to allow for precision handling of loads. A radio remote control system was fitted to the crane to enable safe operation of the crane, from any location within the facility. Due to the size of the crane and restrictions within the facility, a mobile crane was required to lift the overhead crane into position. This was done by temporarily removing panels from the roof.

Installation of 2×25 tonne SWL Overhead Travelling Cranes, for our friends at FP McCann, at their Littleport depot. These cranes were double girder cranes.
The new cranes were installed complete with safety functions such as anti collision sensors, and slow down limits, to prevent any collision with either crane or end stop. The inverter control on the bridge travel was installed to have precise control over travel speeds, acceleration and deceleration. The Magnetek flex wave wireless remote control was installed, for ease of use.
The 25T crab units were supplied with the crane to meet customer lift speed specification. It also included slow down limit switches to prevent and collision with end of bridge beam. The cranes will be used for the production of concrete slabs for use in pre built housing. As well as various other concrete applications.
We also installed a further 10×25 tonne Gurulp Overhead Travelling Cranes, at the same site in Littleport, which you can see below.
