Hydropower cranes

Hydropower plants use dams to produce hydroelectricity by impounding a reservoir of water and then releasing it through water turbines. Deep within the powerhouse cavern, the turbines and generators work to generate electricity from the falling water. Overhead cranes are essential for the installation and maintenance of this heavy equipment.

The compact design of our cranes makes them ideal for the tight, confined cavern spaces. We understand the unique challenges of underground installations and have the expertise to deliver safe, efficient crane systems tailored to fit seamlessly within the limited space.

We have cranes for all kinds of other applications within a hydropower station and they're built to withstand humid, wet and corrosive environments. Spillway gate cranes can be used for different tasks such as cleaning debris in front of the gate or for maintaining equipment on the dam. We can also provide lifting equipment for the draft tube, intake gate, wind mill or maintenance shop.
