Crane Installation engineered for the Kingdom
Veltrixair installs turnkey installation and SASO-certified commissioning of overhead, gantry, jib, self-standing and process cranes across Saudi Arabia — backed by OEM engineering authority and executed to FEM, CMAA, OSHA and ASME standard. From foundation review to first lift, Your accountable partner owns the scope.
What's included in a Veltrixair installation
Every Veltrixair installation engagement is delivered as a single accountable scope — no hand-offs, no scope gaps, no "we don't do that part". The package below is the standard inclusion across all crane types and capacity classes, calibrated to KSA regulatory and OEM requirements.
Pre-installation site survey
Walk-through assessment, structural review of host building or foundation pad, runway alignment baseline, environmental constraint mapping (heat, dust, marine air).
Foundation & host structure verification
Concrete strength test review, embedment plate inspection, building column-to-runway tolerance check, structural load path validation against OEM specification.
Lift plan engineering & rigging design
Detailed lift study, mobile crane sizing, rigging gear selection, exclusion zone mapping, and submission of method statement and risk assessment for client/HSE approval.
Runway beam alignment & laser surveying
Precision laser-surveyed runway alignment to FEM 9.511 tolerance — typically ±2 mm on span and ±1 mm on rail-to-rail elevation across full runway length.
Mechanical assembly
End carriage to bridge girder assembly, trolley installation, hoist mounting, wire rope reeving, hook block fitment, and torque verification on all critical fasteners.
Electrification & control system
Power feed termination, conductor bar or festoon system, control panel installation, pendant or radio remote configuration, VFD parameter setup, and PLC-based safety interlocks.
Safety device verification
Limit switch testing (hoist up/down, long travel, cross travel), overload protection calibration, anti-collision system, slack rope detection, and emergency stop chain validation.
Static & dynamic load testing
No-load functional test, 100% SWL static test, 125% SWL static test (OSHA/SASO standard), and dynamic operational test under simulated duty cycle — all witnessed and certified.
Operator & maintainer training
Two-day operator training (controls, daily checks, emergency procedures) and one-day maintainer briefing (lubrication schedule, fault diagnosis, OEM service portal access).
Warranty activation & lifecycle handoff
OEM warranty registration, first scheduled inspection window coordinated, and documented handover to your operations and inspection programme.
Your partner for every crane class installation
From a 1-tonne wall-mounted jib in a workshop to a 500-tonne process crane in a steel mill, Veltrixair installs across the full crane spectrum operating in Saudi Arabia. Capacity, configuration and operating environment are matched to OEM-specified design — never reverse-engineered on site.
Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT)
The workhorse of industrial lifting — single or double-girder configurations with capacities from 1 to 500 tonnes, top-running or underhung.
- Single-girder up to 25T
- Double-girder up to 500T
- Top-running and underhung
Gantry &
Semi-Gantry
Self-supporting structures running on rails or wheels — ideal for outdoor yards, ports, prefab plants and sites without overhead steel.
- Full gantry & portal frame
- Semi-gantry (half-on-runway)
- Rail-mounted or rubber-tyred
Jib Cranes — Wall &
Free-Standing
Compact, localised lifting for workstations, machine tending and fabrication cells. Wall-mounted, free-standing column or articulated arm.
- Wall-mounted jib (up to 5T)
- Free-standing column (up to 10T)
- Articulating / boom-knuckle
Self-Standing Crane Structures
Free-standing steel framework with integrated crane — engineered for sites where building-mounted cranes aren't feasible, or where structural independence is mandated.
- Independent steel frame
- Integrated runway design
- Foundation-only interface
Process &
Heavy-Duty Cranes
High-cycle, high-temperature cranes for steel mills, foundries and hot metal handling — built to FEM 1Bm/2m duty class with continuous-rated motors and reinforced reeving.
- Ladle / charging cranes
- Coil & slab handling
- Foundry duty FEM 4M / 5M
Specialty &
Application-Specific
Magnet cranes, grab cranes, stacker cranes, automated stowage cranes and other application-specific configurations — engineered against the exact duty cycle.
- Magnet & grab cranes
- Stacker / ASRS cranes
- Custom-engineered duty
Five disciplined phases. Zero scope drift
Every Veltrixair installation runs through the same five-phase methodology — defined gates, witnessed checkpoints, and full documentation at each transition. Phase progression is gated, not assumed: the next phase doesn't start until the previous phase is signed off.
Mobilization & Site Setup
- Equipment, rigging gear and crane components mobilised to site
- Exclusion zone established with HSE-compliant barricading
- Toolbox briefing, lift plan re-confirmation and PTW activation
- Storage area, laydown yard and mobile crane staging defined
- Pre-installation photographic record of host structure baseline
Mechanical Assembly
- Runway beam alignment to FEM 9.511 tolerance with laser survey
- End carriage and bridge girder assembly with torque-witnessed bolting
- Trolley installation, hoist mounting and wire rope reeving
- Hook block assembly and overhaul ball fitment
- Mechanical alignment witness sign-off before electrification
Electrification & Controls
- Main power feed termination at disconnect switch and isolator
- Conductor bar or festoon cable system installation along runway
- Control panel mounting, VFD configuration and PLC parameter setup
- Pendant station or radio remote pairing and signal-loss testing
- Earthing continuity and insulation resistance testing per IEC 60204-32
Testing & Verification
- No-load functional test of all motions and safety devices
- 100% SWL static test held for the duration mandated by SASO
- 125% SWL static overload test with deflection measurement
- Dynamic test under simulated full duty cycle
- NDT and visual inspection of welds, structural connections and rope terminations
Commissioning & Handover
- Operator and maintainer training delivered with attendance records
- Asset registered in Veltrixair lifecycle platform with full traceability

- Commissioning dossier handover including all certificates and test records
- First statutory inspection window coordinated (if elected)
Built to international standard, certified to Saudi regulation
Every Veltrixair installation is delivered, tested and documented against the applicable framework below. Compliance is not an afterthought — it's engineered into the work plan from the first site survey.
The installation partner of OEM record in Saudi Arabia
Crane installation is a single-shot proposition — there's no second chance to get the foundation right, the alignment within tolerance or the electrification properly grounded. We bring four specific advantages to the work that matter on day one and across the asset's full service life.
Engineering escalation directly to the principal OEM
Every installation is delivered to OEM specification, with engineering escalation paths back to the principal manufacturer for any specification clarification or remedial design call. Our installations carry factory-backed warranty terms — not "installer warranty" terms.
Saudi-registered entity, Saudi-based engineering team
SASO-registered service entity with KSA-based commissioning engineers, KSA-stocked spare parts, and Saudization-compliant workforce. No fly-in / fly-out commissioning teams, no extended lead times for parts, no language gaps with operations.
EPC-style turnkey — one signature, one warranty, one phone call
From foundation review to first lift, Veltrixair owns the full installation scope — no sub-contractor hand-offs, no scope-gap finger-pointing. SAR-denominated milestone billing and a single point of accountability across mechanical, electrical, software and certification.
The installation is the start of the relationship, not the end
Every commissioned crane is registered in Veltrixair's lifecycle platform with PDPL-compliant digital records, OEM warranty terms, scheduled inspection intervals, and alignment to your in-service compliance programme. Day one of installation is day one of asset visibility.
