Shipyards

Heavy lifting for shipbuilding.

Shipyard cranes endure some of the heaviest lifts in industry — from hull sections to engine blocks. ELS provides repair, spare parts, and modernisation services for shipyard gantry cranes, goliath cranes, jib cranes, and other heavy-lift equipment.

Shipyard Crane Engineering

Critical lifts, zero margin for error

Shipyard cranes handle some of the heaviest and most complex lifts in the industrial world. Gantry cranes, goliath cranes, and heavy-lift jib cranes must operate with precision and reliability — any failure during a critical lift can have serious consequences.

Experienced with shipyard equipment

ELS engineers have extensive experience with the unique requirements of shipyard crane operations. We understand the duty cycles, load configurations, and environmental challenges specific to vessel construction and repair yards.
Our services cover the full range of shipyard crane needs: mechanical and structural repairs, electrical and control system upgrades, wire rope replacement, hook block refurbishment, and slewing system overhauls.
We also provide precision machining and reverse engineering services for obsolete components — ensuring that older shipyard cranes can continue to operate safely and efficiently without depending on OEM availability.

Gantry & Goliath Crane Services

Shipyard gantry and goliath cranes are massive structures that require specialised engineering knowledge. ELS provides comprehensive support for these machines — from routine maintenance and wire rope changes to major structural repairs and modernisation.

Our team has worked on cranes with lifting capacities exceeding 900 tonnes, and we understand the critical importance of structural integrity, load path analysis, and safe working load verification in shipyard environments.
