Madhya Pradesh sits at the centre of India's industrial map: coal and thermal power around Singrauli, hydro stations on the Narmada and Chambal, a cement belt around Satna, and engineering, auto and pharma works around Indore, Pithampur and Bhopal. Gujarat borders the state, and we serve Madhya Pradesh from our works in Anand, with engineers travelling to site. This page names no Madhya Pradesh customer; it explains how a supply or service job reaches a plant here.
From enquiry to a running crane
- Enquiry. Send capacity, span, hook path, duty and site; the guide to sizing an EOT crane lists what to decide.
- Manufacture in Anand. We build cranes up to 300 T, and we design double girder EOT cranes for spans up to 40 m, lifting heights up to 50 m and speeds up to 90 m/min.
- Works test. Our own cranes are load tested in our works before they are dispatched.
- Site. Erection, alignment and commissioning at your plant, with a load test at 100% and 125% of safe working load.
- Handover. An authorised competent person issues the equivalent statutory examination report under the state Factories Rules, and you receive manuals, test reports, commissioning records and operator training.
Power stations, thermal and hydro
A powerhouse crane is used mainly when a unit is opened for overhaul, so it can stand idle for long periods and should be checked and load tested before the outage starts. In Gujarat we have load tested cranes on site at thermal and hydro stations, and in Jharkhand we refurbished a powerhouse crane that had been in service since 1959. Both are described on our Gujarat and Jharkhand pages. See also inspection and health check and load test and Form 10.
Cement, engineering and process plants
Single girder cranes suit light to medium duty with limited headroom; double girder cranes suit heavy or continuous duty, higher hooks and long spans. The guide to single or double girder helps you choose. Open yards and loading points often need gantry cranes, workstations need jib cranes, and bays where columns cannot be added can take under-slung cranes hung from the roof structure.

Questions about supply and service
- Can a crane built in Anand be commissioned at our plant in Madhya Pradesh?
- Yes. The crane is load tested in our works, then erected, aligned and commissioned at your site.
- What documents come with a new crane?
- Maintenance manuals, test reports, commissioning records, inspection checklists, compliance documents and a recommended service schedule, plus operator training.
- Do you make cranes for open yards?
- Yes. Gantry and goliath cranes run on ground rails and are designed for outdoor wind and storm conditions. Send your yard layout and the heaviest load.
- Which rules cover cranes in Madhya Pradesh?
- Section 29 of the Factories Act, 1948 requires lifting machines to be thoroughly examined by a competent person at least once in every 12 months. The statutory report follows the state Factories Rules.
