1T Overhead Cranes – Vistry Group Coalville, Leicestershire

1T SWL Overhead Crane Installation

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.

Customer Testimonial 

“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.”

2x 25T Double Girder OHTC FP McCann Littleport

Outdoor overhead crane

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.
