SafeLift Crane Aid has commenced the design phase for a double-girder crane project that will be manufactured for use at a Canadian mining site.
The company plans to produce a galvanised crane, citing requirements for corrosion resistance and durable components in mining applications.
Construction of the crane is scheduled to take place over the coming months, utilising Demag equipment sourced from the US and Canada.
Venter Cranes director Bradley Sliedrecht said: “While we’re still in the design phase, I wanted to show off a double-girder Demag USA / Canada crane that we will build over the next few months.
“This build will be a galvanised crane when we’re finished—destined for another mine where corrosion resistance and long-life components aren’t optional.”
Venter Cranes, trading as SafeLift Crane Aid, operates out of Saskatchewan and supplies inspection, certification, maintenance, and parts services for overhead cranes.
The firm serves industrial clients in sectors such as mining, manufacturing, processing, and infrastructure across Canada.
Its service portfolio includes annual and periodic inspections, preventive and corrective maintenance programmes, mechanical and electrical troubleshooting, as well as safety upgrades and modernisation work.
SafeLift Crane Aid holds authorised OEM service provider status for Demag and R&M Material Handling products within its region, delivering genuine parts supply and manufacturer-approved servicing for electric wire rope hoists, chain hoists, cranes, and runway systems.
Its technical support capabilities extend to both underground and surface crane systems.
The company engages with client maintenance teams and engineers to help reduce downtime and maintain equipment compliance.
The organisation also offers WaterWeights load testing services and rentals throughout Western Canada.
Last month, Venter Cranes installed two overhead cranes at the IWL facility and completed full load testing. The company used water weights from Uniquegroup during the commissioning process.
Due to the season, Venter Cranes transported water to the site in a tanker and stated that this method remained practical despite the colder weather.
