Mechanical and industrial engineering company JK Lifting Equipment has confirmed installation of a new 12.5t overhead crane at its facility.
Details regarding the exact facility location has not been provided by the company, however JK Lifting operates in Newcastle and Port of Blyth, UK.
The crane was supplied by Street Crane to replace an existing unit that was not repairable.
The team removed the out-of-service crane before completing the installation and commissioning of the new system.
Through a LinkedIn post, JK Lifting Equipment sales representative said: “New Street 12.5 tonne overhead crane supplied, installed and tested by our team here at JK Lifting Equipment.
“We firstly removed an existing overhead crane that was beyond repair ready for this new install. Well done to the team involved!”
The company supports customers with services that include on-site rigging, lifting equipment supply from stock, vessel mobilisation, testing and bespoke manufacture.
JK Lifting also manages contract lifts, inspection and testing, machine moves, as well as product supply in various industrial sectors.
In February this year, JK Lifting disclosed an investment of £150,000 at its new location, Lift Point House, which opened last year. The investment included the installation of a 10t overhead crane at the site.
Recently, Thor Atkinson Steel Fabrications installed a new gantry crane in its workshop facility.
The crane was provided by Street Crane and includes four hoists, each with a 5t capacity, resulting in a total lifting capacity of 20t across the main workshop area.
