Perth overhead crane manufacturer — designed and built, not resold
Sorian is the manufacturer that designs and builds the crane, not a reseller adding margin to a catalogue unit. A qualified mechanical engineer designs each single- or double-girder EOT bridge crane to AS 1418, sizing the bridge, end carriages, runway loads and duty class to your actual bay — single-girder to roughly 20 t and double-girder to 50 t MRC. Because we control the design and fabrication, the hoist, controls and structure are matched as one engineered system, not assembled from whatever a distributor has on hand.
For a Perth or wider Western Australia buyer, that engineering control matters when the crane faces real duty in the state's heavy industry and coastal conditions. You get a single point of accountability and a crane built to pass its first AS 2550 major inspection. Talk to the engineer who builds it.
Why local matters for a overhead bridge crane install
Perth's industrial mix — mining services and FIFO support across Kewdale and Welshpool, oil and gas fabrication in Henderson, defence shipbuilding at Henderson, and resource-sector maintenance facilities in Kalgoorlie and the Pilbara — drives a wide range of overhead bridge crane requirements. A overhead bridge crane sized correctly for a precision assembly cell looks nothing like one specified for heavy fabrication or mining maintenance. Getting the engineering review done by someone who's actually walked the site, measured the structure, and understood the duty cycle is the difference between a crane that serves your operation for decades and one that fails its first major inspection.
We work directly with Perth businesses across the metro area and into Kalgoorlie and the Pilbara. Site visits are free, and the engineering review starts before the quote — not after the order is placed.
Overhead Bridge Crane variants we supply in Perth
The standard range covers single-girder, double-girder, top-running, underslung and electric overhead travelling (EOT) bridge configurations, all available with 500 kg to 50 t capacity and spans to 28 m. Each variant suits different applications:
- Standard configurations — most Perth installations
- Heavy-duty configurations — for high-cycle production lines and mining maintenance
- Custom-engineered configurations — when your application doesn't fit a standard product
For a full description of variants and technical specifications, see our national overhead bridge crane page.
Industries we serve in Perth
Common overhead bridge crane applications across Perth and Western Australia:
- Mining services & FIFO maintenance (Kewdale, Welshpool, Forrestfield) — overhead bridge crane for Pilbara/Kalgoorlie maintenance shop work, undercarriage refurb, drill-rig service
- Oil & gas fabrication (Henderson, Kwinana) — overhead bridge crane for subsea module assembly, modular yard handling, pipe-spool work
- Defence shipbuilding (Henderson (Australian Marine Complex)) — overhead bridge crane for naval module handling, controlled-environment assembly
- Resources sector remote support (Pilbara, Goldfields, Mid West) — overhead bridge crane for remote-site engineering, fly-in installation, packaged plant
- Light fabrication & food (Malaga, Bibra Lake, Bayswater) — overhead bridge crane for general workshop, food processing equipment, stainless installs
Wind, terrain & foundations. Perth metro sits in AS 1170.2 Region A1 (non-cyclonic). Standard ULS design wind speeds apply across the metro. Cranes specified for Pilbara, Karratha or Port Hedland service cross into Regions C and D, where ULS design wind speeds increase substantially and additional cyclone factors (FC, FD) apply. Coastal corrosion protection is upgraded for sites near Fremantle and the Australian Marine Complex at Henderson.
Suburbs we install in
We install across all Perth metro suburbs, including Kewdale, Welshpool, Henderson, Bibra Lake, Naval Base, Kwinana, Forrestfield, Malaga, Wangara, Bayswater, plus regional Western Australia. Travel doesn't add to your quote — we cost on a per-job basis, not per-kilometre.
The Sorian process — site visit to commissioning
- Free site visit — we measure the structure, capacity needs, span/reach, headroom, power supply, access for install
- Engineering review — capacity, duty class per AS 1418, runway loads (if applicable), column and base plate sizing
- Fixed-price quote — usually within one business day of site visit, with calculation summary attached
- Manufacturing and supply — typically 4-8 weeks lead time from order
- Installation — typically 2-4 days on site, including commissioning and load test
- Handover documentation — engineering calcs, certificates, O&M manuals, WorkSafe design registration where required
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply overhead bridge cranes across Perth?
Yes — we design, supply and install overhead bridge cranes across the entire Perth metropolitan area including Kewdale, Welshpool, Henderson, Bibra Lake, Naval Base, Kwinana, Forrestfield, Malaga, Wangara, Bayswater, plus regional Western Australia. Site visits are free and typically scheduled within a week of enquiry.
How long does a overhead bridge crane install take in Perth?
Typical overhead bridge crane installations take 2-4 days on site once the supplied components arrive. Lead time from order to install is usually 4-8 weeks depending on capacity, structural design complexity and whether WorkSafe design registration is required for your jurisdiction.
Are your overhead bridge cranes compliant with WA WorkSafe requirements?
Every overhead bridge crane we supply is designed to AS 1418 and AS 2550 and includes the engineering documentation needed for WA WorkSafe registration where applicable. We manage the design registration process where the crane requires it.
What's a typical overhead bridge crane cost in Perth?
Pricing depends on capacity, configuration and structural requirements. We provide fixed-price quotes after a site visit — typically within one business day of inspection. A brief phone call gives you an indicative number.
