Bulk & Storage Terminals
Engineered for throughput.
Bulk terminals handle coal, iron ore, grain, fertiliser, and other commodities at massive scale. ELS supports these operations with crane repair, parts supply, and modernisation services for grab cranes, ship unloaders, stackers, and reclaimers.
Heavy-Duty Bulk Handling
High volumes, high wear
Bulk handling equipment operates under some of the most abrasive and demanding conditions in the industrial world. Grab cranes, ship unloaders, and conveyor systems face continuous duty cycles with heavy, abrasive materials that accelerate wear on every component.
Complete equipment support
ELS provides end-to-end engineering services for bulk terminal equipment — from mechanical repairs and component refurbishment to electrical upgrades and spare parts manufacturing. We work on equipment from Liebherr, Sennebogen, Mantsinen, and legacy systems.
Key components we supply and refurbish include grab buckets, slewing rings, hoist drums, rope sheaves, crane wheels, and gearbox assemblies. Our reverse engineering capability means we can reproduce parts that OEMs no longer stock.
Whether you need emergency breakdown support or a planned maintenance programme for your entire fleet, ELS provides flexible, cost-effective solutions tailored to the unique demands of bulk commodity handling.
Grab Crane & Unloader Expertise
Grab cranes and ship unloaders are critical assets in any bulk terminal. ELS engineers specialise in the mechanical and electrical systems of these machines — including grab mechanisms, hoist systems, luffing drives, and slewing bearings.
We carry out on-site inspections, component replacements, and full overhauls. Our workshop capabilities include gearbox refurbishment, rope sheave re-profiling, and crane wheel machining — all with full dimensional reporting and material certification.

Throughput
Bulk terminals run on volume. Every hour of crane downtime costs tonnes of lost throughput. ELS engineering services are designed to maximise availability and extend equipment life in the most demanding environments.
