Gujarat is our home state: our works and head office are in Anand. We started in 2016 and are now more than 100 people. We serve neighbouring Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh from the same works. For a supplier checklist, see our guide to EOT crane service and AMC in Gujarat.

Form 10 in Gujarat
In Gujarat the statutory report of examination for a crane is Form 10, issued under Rule 60 and section 29 of the Factories Act. An authorised competent person signs it. We arrange that person and run the load test the report relies on, at 100% and 125% of safe working load (SWL) with our own test loads up to 400 T.
The Form 10 certificates for Kadana, Wanakbori, INOX Kalol and GNFC Bharuch record an overload test at 1.25 times SWL. Deflection is checked against the limit of span/900 at rated load: at Kadana the 19.0 m cranes measured 13 mm and 8 mm against a permissible 21.11 mm. Each of these certificates also states the next examination date, 12 months on.
Older cranes, mixed fleets and new builds
We service cranes of any make: the Metso foundry contract covered 45 of them, and at Ukai a double girder crane built in 1969 was load tested and certified. We modernize older cranes with ABB drives, as an ABB Channel Partner for drives and automation; see AMC and modernization and spares. We also build EOT cranes, gantry cranes, jib and under-slung cranes up to 300 T, and hoists.
Frequently asked questions
- How often must a crane in a Gujarat factory be examined?
- Section 29 of the Factories Act requires a thorough examination by a competent person at least once in every 12 months.
- Can you take over AMC for cranes of several makes?
- Yes. The Metso foundry contract in Vadodara ran from April 2021 to March 2026 across 45 EOT cranes of mixed makes, up to 60/15 T.
- Have you load tested very heavy cranes in Gujarat?
- At GE Vernova T&D, Vadodara, a 250/50 T crane was tested with a load cradle and RCC blocks under a method statement. Our own test loads go up to 400 T.
