Crane Modernisations & Retrofits
Crane modernisations and retrofits can improve the reliability, safety, performance and serviceability of existing crane systems. National Crane Solutions can assist with crane upgrades, electrical improvements, control system upgrades, hoist replacement, runway structures, supporting steel, decommissioning and replacement advice.
Modernising an existing crane can often be a practical alternative to complete replacement, especially where the structure remains suitable but components, controls or hoists are becoming outdated, unreliable or difficult to maintain.
Crane Modernisations for Existing Crane Systems
A full crane replacement is not always the only option. National Crane Solutions can assess existing crane systems and provide practical advice on whether repair, upgrade, retrofit, modernisation or replacement is the most suitable solution.
Crane modernisations can help improve operator control, safety systems, parts availability, service access, reliability and long-term performance.
Crane Retrofits
Crane retrofits involve upgrading or modifying an existing crane system so it can better suit current site requirements. This may include adding new control systems, replacing outdated electrical components, upgrading hoists, improving safety systems or modifying runway structures.
National Crane Solutions can inspect the existing crane, review the application and recommend practical retrofit options based on equipment condition, downtime risk, spare parts availability and future site requirements.

Runway Structures and Supporting Steel
National Crane Solutions can design, engineer, manufacture, install and commission runway structures and supporting steel to suit modernisation and retrofit projects.
This is useful for clients adding new cranes, replacing existing systems, improving site lifting capability or adapting a facility for new operational requirements. Our team can assist with structural drawings, engineering support, fabrication, installation and commissioning.
Electrical and Crane Control Upgrades
Modern electrical and crane control upgrades can improve usability, safety and reliability. National Crane Solutions can assist with practical upgrade options including pendant controls, radio remote controls, control panels, drive systems, electrical components, anti-collision systems and related crane equipment.
Where existing equipment is becoming unreliable or difficult to maintain, an upgrade may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Decommissioning and Replacement Support
National Crane Solutions can assist with decommissioning and removal of old crane systems where required.
If the existing crane is no longer suitable for the application, our team can also design, manufacture and install a replacement crane system that better suits the site, lifting capacity, workflow and operating environment.
