Bespoke Cranes
With a wide range of customisation options to suit various applications, Penny Engineering’s experienced design team can work with you to create the ideal bespoke lifting solutions for your operations, environment, and budget.
Our Custom Crane Building Services
Not all standard cranes are suitable for every application. Using the wrong crane for the task can pose significant risks of injury to both workers and the public, as well as damage to surrounding assets that may result in costly repairs or delays.
Custom crane building services address these issues by developing solutions tailored to the specific needs of individual operations. This involves considerations such as load weight, lift height, moving distance, terrain, budget constraints, and regulatory compliance.
Alongside our range of specialised vehicle mounted lifting equipment, our experienced design engineers can use CAD modelling to create fully bespoke lifting solutions that meet your exact requirements – swiftly, reliably, and within budget.
