External structures for overhead cranes and lifting devices

Do you need to perform lifting operations outdoors but don't yet have a suitable structure? We design and install freestanding structures for all your lifting equipment: overhead crane, monorail or jib crane. Our turnkey solution covers everything from soil analysis to concrete foundation excavation, structure installation and commissioning of your equipment.

To ensure the durability of your outdoor structure, we recommend coatings and materials specifically designed to withstand the harsh Quebec climate, providing optimal protection against the elements. Your project is handled from start to finish by our team of experts.

Which type of lifting equipment do you need to install?

The structure is always designed around the equipment it must support, the load to be lifted and the required travel.

• Outdoor overhead crane: Structure on columns and runway beams covering an entire area, such as a storage yard, a loading dock or a transfer zone between two buildings.
• Monorail: Single beam following a set path, ideal for moving a load from point A to point B, for example from the yard to a garage door or a workstation.
• Jib crane: Cost-effective solution for covering a circular area, often used to complement an overhead crane or to serve a fixed workstation.

Roof-mounted jib cranes and monorails: hoisting material and simplifying maintenance

Installed at the edge of the building or on the roof itself, roof-mounted jib cranes and monorails let you hoist material from ground level up to the roof without bringing in a mobile crane, and handle heavy components during maintenance work: ventilation units, compressors, motors, spare parts and process equipment.

Installation requires an analysis of the existing framing, since lifting loads must be carried by the building structure. Our team verifies the existing capacity, designs any required reinforcement and carries out the complete installation.
