CHALLENGES

SOLUTION

Liftsafe designed, manufactured, supplied, and installed a 280-tonne overhead crane for a leading customer in Canada’s nuclear sector. Supported by our in-house engineering, manufacturing, and field service teams, the project was successfully completed from concept to commissioning, including FAT, installation, and load testing, while meeting all safety, performance, and schedule requirements.

Liftsafe successfully completed the design, manufacture, supply, and installation of a 280-tonne capacity overhead crane for a leading customer in Canada’s nuclear industry. The project required a highly engineered lifting solution designed to support critical heavy-lift operations within a demanding industrial environment.

Leveraging our in-house engineering, project management, manufacturing, and field service capabilities, Liftsafe provided a turnkey solution from concept through commissioning. Strong project management and clear, consistent communication between all stakeholders helped keep the project on schedule and aligned with the customer’s technical and operational requirements.

A key project milestone was the successful completion of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) prior to delivery, validating the crane’s functionality and performance before progressing to site installation.

Liftsafe successfully delivered a highly engineered 280-tonne crane solution that met the technical and operational requirements of our facility. The project was completed on schedule, supported by strong project management and clear, consistent communication throughout. Their team demonstrated a high level of engineering capability and attention to detail from design and manufacturing through installation and commissioning. The result is a high-capacity lifting system that will support our operations for years to come.
