One such project is the recently completed Emirates Aluminium plant, a multi-million dollar investment, with 15 overhead cranes installed with capacities from three to 50 tonnes and designed for use in a harsh environment.

Dubai Crane, general manager Andy Kay said: “Industrial development in the UAE is such that there will be huge demand for high specification industrial cranes for the foreseeable future. This is especially true of the mid and downstream cluster businesses capitalising on developments at Kalifa Port and the aluminium industry.”

We will provide whole-life support from the initial evaluation of handling requirements, through the design and installation of the crane, to the support and service of the equipment to ensure a long and efficient operational life.”

Local fabrication of major crane elements provides a better service for customers and creates value in the local economy, creating a win-win for all the project partners.”
