US-based Munck Cranes has supplied and installed a 5t overhead crane and runway system at a heavy equipment repair facility, providing the site with new capabilities for moving large components within its workshop.
The installation includes a full lifting solution comprising both the overhead crane and the supporting runway, completed by Munck’s installation team.
The new equipment is intended to improve safety and efficiency at the repair facility by enabling staff to handle heavy items throughout the shop environment.
The project’s completion adds material-handling capacity for the customer, enabling the transport and positioning of parts that require overhead lifting.
The company said: “From the runway to the crane itself, a complete lifting solution delivered by the Munck team!”
Munck Cranes has been producing overhead cranes and material handling equipment at its Stoney Creek, Ontario facility since 1983.
The company supplies engineered lifting systems to the North American market and has also served customers in South America and the Middle East.
Munck Cranes now forms part of Zelus Material Handling. This follows an acquisition by Zelus Material Handling in December 2025, which increased the group’s manufacturing presence and service network across Canada.
According to the companies, the combined operation is intended to provide enhanced technical and operational support capabilities to industrial customers.
Both businesses continue to jointly deliver and support lifting solutions for a range of industrial facilities.
The new 5t system at the heavy equipment facility builds on Munck Cranes’ longstanding role in supplying overhead crane systems and reflects the broader integration of its operations with those of Zelus since the acquisition.
In September 2026, Zelus Material Handling installed a 150t/30t overhead crane along with a 295ft runway system at Hooper Welding’s site in Oakville, Canada. The company reported that its manufacturing and electrical teams completed the project on schedule.
