Cranes

At McCallum Engineering we have many years experience building, repairing and servicing cranes. From our Christchurch workshop we service cranes and undertake projects for some of the largest companies in New Zealand.

We are the South Island agents for Demag Cranes and the New Zealand agents for Hydromech Cranes. Both companies produce a range of top quality wire-rope hoists with Demag also supplying state of the art chain-hoists up to 5 tonne.

In addition to Demag chain-hoists we can supply several alternative brands, both electric and pneumatic, to cover a range of hoisting speed, duty-cycle and price options.

At McCallum Engineering we build cranes for almost any application using Demag and Hydromech hoists, components and specifications:

• Gantry cranes
• Portal cranes
• Goliath Cranes
• Single girder overhead travelling cranes
• Double girder overhead travelling cranes
• Fixed and swing jib cranes.

New Installations, Relocations and Upgrades: : There are three types of hoist available: Wire-rope, Chain and Pneumatic. The choice of hoist type is job-specific; something we can advise on when we have all the relevant details and requirements for the job.

• We start with a consultation where the customer’s requirements are discussed and evaluated. As experts in this field we can identify the most cost-effective means of achieving the customer’s objective. It is important to get this right before starting the job, to save unnecessary expense on maintenance, downtime and premature replacements. We are often called in to improve, up-spec or replace an existing crane which is not suitable for the job.
  
• We provide the customer with a quote for the job. Where applicable we will include a cost-saving alternative using recycled eco-components.
• New hoists and associated componentry are ordered from the manufacturers and we commence fabrication of the beams, rails and structures in our workshop.
• The imported equipment is fitted and tested before delivery to the job-site where our engineers install and commission the crane.

Eco-Cranes: As well as supplying new hoists and components we have a range of used Demag equipment. After testing and overhauling, these recycled hoists, components and spare parts can often enable us to offer a cost effective alternative when quoting projects.

Power Track: We supply crane power-track and associated hardware including jointers, trolleys and collectors.
