UK-based JF Electrical Engineering (JFEE) has completed the refurbishment of a 500kg jib crane, replacing the control panel and supplying a new pendant control for a client.
The work aimed to restore operational reliability and maintain safe use of the equipment.
The company states that updating the control system extends the crane’s service life and supports continued efficiency in operation.
JF Electrical Engineering stated: “Upgrading the control system not only improves reliability but also ensures the crane can continue operating efficiently for years to come.”

Previously, in December 2025, JF Electrical Engineering completed the installation of a 500kg Liftket chain hoist for an undisclosed client’s customer.
The team integrated the chain hoist onto an existing wall-mounted jib crane arm as part of the project.
Engineers carried out the installation on-site to ensure that the new hoist operated safely and functioned within the existing lifting infrastructure.
Earlier to that in October 2025, the company completed the mechanical assembly and electrical installation of a 6.3t Guralp overhead crane for RGM Cranes.
JF Electrical Engineering prepared, tested, and delivered the equipment according to the operational requirements at RGM Cranes’s customer site.
