Crane solutions for warehousing

Every warehouse is unique, with distinct capacity, layout and environmental demands. Our engineers work closely with procurement and operations teams to design lifting systems that align with productivity goals, energy targets and long-term maintenance strategies.

Key design considerations include lifting capacity and duty cycle, working conditions to chilled (-10°C) or outdoor environments, available headroom and hook approach, and the appropriate control method, whether pendant or radio, manual or programmable. Safety and compliance underpin every specification, with zoning, anti-collision and overload protection integrated where required.

This collaborative approach ensures every system is tailored not only to technical performance but also to operational reliability, cost control and safety compliance, supporting smooth integration within your wider facility infrastructure.

Overhead cranes for warehouse operations

When performance, precision and uptime are critical, Street Crane overhead systems set the benchmark. Designed and built in the UK, each model reflects the depth of our engineering heritage and commitment to reliable, everyday operation.

Warehouse Overhead Crane Solutions

ZX Single and Double Girder Cranes

The standard-bearer for general warehouse applications. Single girder cranes handle up to 25 tonnes, while double girder variants extend that capacity to 80 tonnes. Each system uses our advanced control or variable frequency drives for exceptionally smooth acceleration and accurate load positioning, while the enclosed braked gearbox design eliminates external gearing to minimise noise and maintenance. Inside, oil-immersed gears deliver long, quiet and dependable service, a hallmark of British mechanical engineering that reduces lifetime ownership costs and improves equipment availability.

ZX Underslung Cranes

Where floor space is limited, provide full-span coverage without the need for runway columns, operating on roof-mounted tracks that free valuable ground area for racking or conveyors. Optional cantilever extensions can project beyond the runway line, optimising reach and workflow flexibility.

Portal and Semi-Portal Cranes

For open yards or buildings without roof support, deliver robust lifting power and adaptability. Available in single or double girder designs, they handle loads from 1 to 200 tonnes and spans exceeding 40 metres. Options such as rail-less semi-portals, polyurethane-tyred wheels and cantilever beams ensure seamless handling across varied loading and unloading areas.

LCS Light Crane Systems

Ergonomic and modular lifting solutions for assembly, packing and workstation zones. With capacities up to 1.5 tonnes for single beams and 2 tonnes for double beams, they offer smooth, effortless control, whether operated manually or motorised, and can be easily extended or reconfigured as workflows evolve.

Slewing & Wall-Travelling Jib Cranes

Deliver agile, localised lifting around machinery, packing lines and loading bays. Offering between 270° and 360° coverage, they are available for wall or floor mounting, with capacities up to 20 tonnes for slewing jibs and up to 12.5 tonnes for wall-travelling variants. Both systems are fully compatible with Street LX chain or ZX wire rope hoists, ensuring performance consistency across your facility.

Making next generation warehousing practical

We make advanced crane technology simple, safe and sustainable to operate.

Our advanced control or variable frequency drives enable programmable speeds and motion profiles for predictable, efficient handling, an essential feature for automated and high-throughput warehouses.

Component protection ensures reliability across ambient, chilled (-10°C) and outdoor zones, while efficient hoist gearing, advance controls and modernisation packages extend asset life, reduce energy consumption and support your sustainability objectives.

Working as part of your warehouse

Street Crane works collaboratively with systems integrators, consultants and operators to ensure cranes complement material flow, from buffer storage to goods-to-person automation. Early design integration simplifies commissioning, while diagnostics and motion profiling support efficient maintenance planning.

For peak periods or high-frequency tasks, local LCS or jib systems relieve main bridges and enhance overall equipment effectiveness.
