Leading the industry since 1946
From One Man Building Cranes in Sheffield to a Global Brand.
Founded in 1946, Street Crane Company has grown from a small engineering firm into one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of overhead cranes and hoists. Our journey began with a vision to provide innovative lifting solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Over the decades, we have expanded our product range and capabilities, always staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the lifting industry.
Born in Sheffield in 1921 Peter Street was destined to be an engineer. The youngest of four brothers, in a family that had connections to the steel industry, Peter grew up with a fascination for things mechanical.
Peter served his country as a WWII Spitfire pilot and played an active role in many wartime events including campaigns in North Africa and Italy. Within a week of returning to civilian life on leaving the RAF, Peter took his £88 gratuity and started a business in the “steel town” of Sheffield servicing and repairing the neglected cranes in the local workshops.
The company grew by reputation and by the late 50s the firm was seeking larger premises.
Today, Street Crane Company is synonymous with excellence and reliability. As a family-owned business, we take immense pride in our heritage and the values that have been passed down through generations.
We are proud to be associated with prestigious projects across various sectors, including automotive, construction, precast concrete, and rail. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and dedicated team of experts ensure that every product we deliver meets the stringent requirements of our clients. The personal touch and commitment to quality that come from being family-owned are evident in everything we do.
We hold accreditations with leading industry bodies including Constructionline, Builders Profile, and JOSCAR along with certifications to BSI ISO9001 for quality management and BSI ISO45001 for occupational health and safety that reflect our deep-rooted commitment to excellence. These recognitions underscore our dedication to quality, compliance, and the highest standards of health, safety, wellbeing, and sustainability in everything we do.
As we look to the future, Street Crane Company remains dedicated to innovation and sustainability. We are investing in cutting-edge technologies to develop even more efficient and environmentally friendly lifting solutions. Our focus on research and development ensures that we stay ahead of industry trends and continue to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
