Whatever your plant lifts, we’ve built the crane for it.

Workshops, fabrication bays, warehouses, assembly lines and maintenance floors all run on overhead lifting. LOADMATE engineers the EOT and jib cranes, gantries and hoists that move material safely and keep your day moving — sized to your bay, your loads and your duty cycle, built to IS 3177 & IS 807.

We know your floor

Every plant, the same backbone.

Receiving, stores, the workshop, the assembly line, the maintenance bay, dispatch — almost every plant shares the same handling backbone, whatever it makes. Each area has its own loads, its own headroom, and its own way of testing a crane that wasn’t engineered for it.

LOADMATE engineers EOT cranes, jib cranes, gantries and hoists for every one of those areas — standard or fully custom, built to IS 3177 and IS 807, and load-tested at 125% before dispatch. Supplied from our works to manufacturers across India and 30+ countries.

Where we lift

Walk your plant with us — six areas, one floor. Each has its own loads, its own headroom, and its own way of testing a crane. Tap an area to jump to it.

Goods-in & receiving

Where the day’s work arrives

Raw stock, components and bought-out parts land at the dock on the transporter’s schedule — often heavy, often awkward, often all at once. The unloading crane sets the pace for everything downstream; when it’s slow or down, trucks wait and the floor starves.

What hangs from the hookRaw bar and plate, casting and forging blanks, palletised components, machinery on inbound trucks.
When the crane failsUnloading backs up — trucks hold, demurrage builds, and the line waits for material it hasn’t received.
The LOADMATE answerEOT and gantry cranes sized for the receiving bay, with VFD soft controls for safe, single-operator unloading.

Stores & warehouse

Heavy stock, stacked and found fast

A store only earns its keep when material moves in and out without drama. Stacking heavy stock high, retrieving the right item without disturbing the rest, and feeding it to the floor on time is daily, repetitive duty — exactly where a crane sized for a brochure starts to age.

What hangs from the hookBar and plate racks, die and mould stock, spare assemblies, bulk components.
When the crane failsMaterial can’t be reached or staged — and a line waiting on a part is the most expensive kind of idle.
The LOADMATE answerUnderslung and EOT cranes for tight bays, plus wire rope hoists for continuous stacking and retrieval.

Workshop & fabrication

Between every machine, a lift

On a fabrication or machining floor, work moves from saw to mill to weld bay to inspection — every move a lift. The crane here isn’t a backdrop; it’s the conveyor your people actually use, dozens of times a shift, for everything from raw billets to half-finished assemblies.

What hangs from the hookBillets and plate, weldments and sub-assemblies, fixtures, finished machined parts.
When the crane failsThe whole cell stalls — operators stand idle and the bottleneck moves to wherever the crane isn’t.
The LOADMATE answerSingle-girder EOT and jib cranes with precise VFD controls, sized for workshop spans and headroom.

Assembly & production line

Precision, repeated all shift

On an assembly line, the crane places parts where hands can’t — motors into frames, housings onto bases, panels onto structures — gently, accurately, hundreds of times a day. Here lifting is about control, not tonnage: soft starts, exact positioning, and zero swing over people and product.

What hangs from the hookSub-assemblies, motors and gearboxes, panels and housings, jigs and tooling.
When the crane failsThe line stops at the station that needs the lift — and a stopped line is counted in units, not minutes.
The LOADMATE answerJib and underslung cranes with chain hoists and VFD micro-speed for placement you can trust over people.

Maintenance & MRO

Where the plant fixes the plant

Every facility has the bay where machines come to be opened up — gearboxes split, dies changed, motors pulled, pumps rebuilt. The work is unpredictable, the loads vary wildly, and the crane has to be ready the moment a breakdown lands, because the rest of the plant is waiting on it.

What hangs from the hookGearboxes and motors, dies and moulds, pump and machine assemblies, spare components.
When the crane failsThe repair everyone is waiting on can’t even begin — one idle crane multiplies into many.
The LOADMATE answerWire rope and chain hoists on EOT or jib cranes, sized for the bay and easy to service themselves.

Dispatch & loading

The last lift before the invoice

Finished goods leave on the customer’s promise date, not yours — and the loading crane is the handshake that keeps it. Trucks queue at the gate, often at night, often in weather. Reliability here isn’t a maintenance line item; it’s a delivery commitment.

What hangs from the hookCrated machines, bundled stock, palletised goods and finished assemblies onto trucks and rakes.
When the crane failsTrucks wait, demurrage accrues and committed deliveries slip — the one failure your customers see directly.
The LOADMATE answerGoliath gantries and EOTs sized for the loading bay, outdoor-protected and engineered for dependable availability.

FAQs

General industry — common questions.

What duty class do you build for general industry?

M3–M6 class cranes cover most workshop, assembly and warehouse duty, with M7 where cycles are high — chosen to your cycle count and load spectrum.

What capacities do you cover?

From 0.5 T chain hoists up to 250 T EOT and goliath cranes, with the everyday sweet spot in the 1–40 T band — engineered to your bay and span.

Can you supply standard cranes, or only custom?

Both — standard configurations for typical bays, and fully custom designs where your span, headroom or duty needs it.

Which standards do you build to?

IS 3177 and IS 807 for cranes and IS 2062 for structural steel, with ISO 9001:2015 and ZED Gold certification.

Do you install and service across India?

Yes — erection, commissioning, spares and a responsive service team across India, plus 30+ export markets.
