We’re more than just bespoke overhead crane manufacturers; we are your problem solvers. Transforming your lifting challenges into safe, reliable and repeatable processes that get the job done, every time.

We Solve Your Lifting Challenges For You

Are you relying on multiple different machines to get items from A to B? Struggling to find a solution for moving an abnormal load? Or do your processes require too much manual handling, risking injury? Then Bramley Engineering are here to help.

Many of our customers come to us after having trouble with frequent lifting operations. They often face expensive repairs on several machines. They are also looking for a better, safer, and more cost-effective way to work.

Let us identify the solution you’ve been waiting for. We’ll design a bespoke crane specifically for your needs to eliminate wasted time, money, and energy within your operations.

Every lifting challenge is unique, that’s why our lifting engineers work with you closely to understand your issues and create a safe, functional and durable crane that fixes them. Whether you require a crane for heavy lifting, tight spaces, or a more specialised application, we have the expertise to deliver the solution you need.

Bespoke Crane Systems That Lift Expectations

Each crane we manufacture is bespoke. Using over four decades of experience in optimising lifting processes, we identify weaknesses in your current operations to provide solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and cash flow.

More Efficient Operations Through Bespoke Crane Manufacture

More Efficient Operations

All our cranes are completely unique and designed to rectify the problem causing a bottleneck in your operations.

With our collaborative approach to understanding your needs, your overhead crane will boost efficiency with continuous operation capabilities and automated production. Choose a bespoke crane and complete projects in less time, with less manpower, and using less machinery.

Cost Savings

Reduced Operational Costs

Fewer machines for one task means less maintenance and repair work and less risk of unexpected downtime through machine faults or breakage. It also means operators can be put to better use elsewhere so funds are spent wisely to maximise output.

We also provide full ongoing support and crane servicing to promote lifespan longevity and minimise costly repairs long-term. 

Enhanced Workplace Safety

With over four decades in crane design and manufacturing, we produce durable, high-quality cranes to LEEA standards giving you the peace of mind that your crane is safe. With a 4-year warranty and LOLER approval, you can be confident that your Bramley Engineering equipment is both safe and legally compliant.

We also offer ongoing LOLER inspections, repairs & maintenance to support you for the long term.

Overhead Cranes We Manufacture

We offer a wide selection of overhead crane models that are designed to tackle any application, from light-duty to heavy-duty, and can be customized to fit any need. Our cranes are manufactured in our factory in Leighton Buzzard and designed with the most hard-wearing composition to guarantee maximum performance and durability.

Our Crane Design & Installation Process

We are your turnkey solution for custom built cranes. Our initial consultation will assess the requirements of your project. We work closely with you to see the project through, from design through to installation. Our initial consultation, design and quote are provided free of charge to ensure that our solution is the most effective for your needs and that we can deliver on budget.

1. Site Visit & Project Needs Assessment

We will meet you at your site to discuss the nature of your lifting challenges. We will learn about your current operations, discuss future plans, and work to find the most cost-effective, safe and reliable solution to suit your needs for the long term.

2. Scan Of The Design Environment For 3D Mapping

For all of our crane design projects, we conduct a 3D scan of the lifting environment to ensure our designs and fabrications are millimetre-perfect. This ensures that upon delivery, every component fits precisely, that no elements in the lifting environment will impede the operation of the crane, and the crane will not collide with anything in the lifting area.

3. 3D Crane Design Using CAD Autodesk Software

Our Design Office makes full use of 3D CAD software to design all types of cranes and lifting accessories, tailored to each need. We also apply Finite Element Analysis (FEA) during the design stage, which allows us to simulate stress, strain, and deflection within the crane structure before manufacture. This ensures that every design is not only fit for purpose but also validated against real-world load conditions.
