Aluminium or steel — which portable gantry crane actually suits your site? 🏗️

Both materials get the job done, but they behave very differently once they're on site. One's built for speed and mobility, the other for raw rigidity under heavy, repeated loads.

In our latest guide, we break down:
✅ Weight, portability & setup time
✅ Corrosion resistance (big one for coastal & wet sites)
✅ Capacity differences
✅ Maintenance & long-term cost

Whether you're moving between job sites weekly or running daily lifts in a fixed bay, this guide will help you match the right crane to your operation.

🔧 New Blog Post: How to Set Up a Hoist & Trolley System for Your I-Beam or Monorail

Most hoist and trolley installations don't fail during operation — they fail at the planning stage. Undersized beams, mismatched fl**ge widths, and inadequate headroom are all avoidable problems if you catch them early.

Our latest guide walks you through the key steps:
✅ Confirming your beam is rated for the job
✅ Measuring fl**ge width correctly before selecting a trolley
✅ Choosing between push, geared, and electric trolleys
✅ Planning headroom and your load path
✅ Getting your electrical and control setup right

Whether you're setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, this guide will help you get it right from the start.

New case study! 🏗️

Stewart & Cavalier came to us with a tricky lifting challenge — a crane build where the bridge length and beam size left very little clearance underneath to lift the required loads.

Our solution? An ultra low headroom electric chain hoist with RE series electric trolley from RWM Italy, giving them maximum hook height plus precise lateral movement.

Read how we helped them complete the project 👇

Stratalign supplied Stewart & Cavalier with a low headroom electric chain hoist and RE series electric trolley to overcome restricted clearance on a crane build.

🔌 Single Phase vs Three Phase Hoists — Which One Do You Need?

Choosing the right electric hoist isn’t just about lifting capacity — your power supply plays a huge role in performance, reliability, and long-term cost.

If you’ve ever wondered:
✔️ What’s the real difference between single and three phase?
✔️ Which is better for your workshop?
✔️ Will your current setup handle it?

Our latest guide breaks it all down in plain English — no jargon, just practical advice.
