Houston Konecranes has a heavy presence in Texas with several sites dotted around the state offering routine inspections, planned and emergency repairs, updates to old equipment, servicing for hoists and jib cranes, preventative maintenance programmes and spare parts. It also manufactures industrial crane parts and equipment in Houston. The Konecranes Houston plant is said to build more than 150 specialised overhead cranes per year, with a team of engineers, welders, assemblers and project managers assembling the cranes. Another big name in the region is GH Cranes & Components, with components and spares inventory in Dallas and crane manufacturing capabilities and servicing in both Dallas and Houston. We’ll end with a Houston company that
featured in the original iteration of Overhead Crane and Hoist over ten years ago, and that’s ProservCrane Group. Founded in 1987, the company says it designs, builds, installs, refurbishes and services cranes and performs OSHA-compliant inspections. It manufacturers bridge cranes, jib cranes, hoists, runways, transfer cars and more, and carries out maintenance or testing. ^
