Frequently Asked Questions

  • + Do you service overhead cranes only in Alberta or do you also travel throughout Canada?

    Our home base is Edmonton, AB and we primarily work with overhead cranes in Alberta. However, yes, we work with clients all across Canada. Some clients we built relationships with within Alberta and then assisted in relocating their crane to a new facility in another province. Servicing overhead cranes is what we do best and we understand that travelling is a part of our business.

  • + Why choose Team Overhead Crane Services Ltd.?

    With countless hours and numerous years of experience in the crane industry, we have built our business primarily through referrals from return satisfied clients. As we expand our reach throughout Alberta and Canada, we’re striving to provide the best overhead crane services possible to the industrial and commercial sectors. To us that means, always answering our phones, providing prompt and reliable crane services, and ensuring safe overhead crane practices throughout all job sites utilizing heavy-duty lifting equipment. 

  • + Do you service all styles of overhead cranes?

    Yes, we are a full-service overhead crane company. From operator training, preventative maintenance and emergency breakdown repairs to complete turn-key overhead crane installation services. Reach out today to request your overhead crane service.

    Yes, we strictly follow all guidelines, certifications, and regulations, and our team is fully insured. With overhead cranes, safety is the number one priority and at Team Overhead Crane Services Ltd. we stand for nothing less than CRANEWISE solutions.

  • + Do you provide overhead crane operator training?

    Yes, we can train and educate your chosen competent employees to be effective crane operators. Our programs prepare your crane operators for safe crane use and the knowledge of the guidelines and regulations set by the government. Your staff will feel confident and prepared to properly operate overhead crane lifts.

  • + Should I buy a new crane or modernize my existing crane?

    Purchasing, installing and maintaining an overhead crane system is no small investment. Most cranes can be modified and re-engineered for new manufacturing or work processes. Purchasing a used crane instead of buying a new one is another alternative because we can modernize and modify the overhead crane to your required specifications. The best way for us to assist you in selecting the best overhead crane solution for your location is by utilizing our onsite overhead crane consulting services. We complete site measuring and analysis to ensure you get the best overhead crane system.

  • + Can Team Overhead Crane Services relocate my overhead crane to my new location?

    Yes, we’ve relocated overhead cranes across the country for numerous clients. Every business and its overhead crane needs are different. We work efficiently and thoroughly to ensure your team and new location are ready for safe overhead crane service.

  • + We are changing our production processes. Can Team Overhead Crane Services re-engineer our existing crane to better suit our new work process?

    Your business is changing and to keep processes streamlined, modifying your overhead crane is the ideal solution to make that happen. With our overhead crane consultations, we work through the details of your new process and provide educated crane reengineering recommendations. We will then complete the redesign and re-engineer the overhead crane solution and efficiently get your crane installed. 

  • + How often do I need to have my overhead crane inspected?

    Crane inspections are required to keep them compliant with OH&S Part 6, Section 93-95 Overhead Cranes and CSA Standard CAN/CSA-B167-96 (R2007). The timeframe for inspections is dependent on the frequency of use, any modifications or changes that occur, or being put into active service. To ensure you’re still in compliance, reach out today and we’ll help you get your crane on a compliance inspection schedule that’s best for your needs.

  • + Why do I need preventative maintenance for my overhead crane system?

    Preventative maintenance is a crucial component of your overhead crane maintenance and safety. Planned maintenance allows you to get ahead of any repairs and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Preventative overhead crane maintenance can save your company time and money. Those unplanned breakdowns are expensive with time lost, repairs, parts and more.

  • + Can I buy a used crane for my shop instead of a new crane?

    Installing and buying a crane is a big investment. So new or used? We sell used overhead cranes that allow you to save on the cost of a new crane while still getting the same functionality and efficiency as a new crane. We’ll reengineer, modernize and modify the used crane to the specifications of your facility. Feel confident purchasing a used crane from us knowing your used crane will function like new for you.

  • + Are you able to get replacement parts for my overhead crane?

    At Team Overhead Crane Services Ltd., we can source any overhead crane parts you need. We uphold strong relationships with our suppliers and work to provide quick delivery times, all dependent on the stock levels of our suppliers.
