Elite Cranes UK has successfully installed a five-tonne single girder crane and a free-standing gantry in Middlesborough, England, for Valve Asset Solutions (V.A.S).

The installation is set to significantly enhance the hydro-test and repair capabilities for valves and components in the petrochemical sector.

Elite Cranes UK installed a 9.2m top-running crane, paired with a ten-metre gantry, to optimise production across two adjoining workshops.

Valve Asset Solutions is a company specialising in comprehensive valve asset services, ranging from basic testing to full refurbishments.

It offers customised solutions, including the procurement of new valve packages and spares.

V.A.S provides both workshop-based repairs and on-site refurbishments using advanced mobile units, aiming to reduce costs and minimise downtime.

Elite Cranes UK, in a LinkedIn post, said: “Massive thank you to Dave Carter, it was a pleasure working with you and we really appreciate your custom.

“We look forward to seeing you for the commissioning once the buildings mains power is re-instated.”
