Panels & Drives

At Star Crane and Hoist our team has broad expertise in how your crane needs to run and can identify its current condition. We understand that your crane can be the life–blood of your production, and that behind the mechanical aspect of it all runs the electrification of that system.

Our technicians are experienced in modernizing small, low–duty cycle cranes, all the way up to very large capacity cranes and to fully automated cranes running on assembly lines. Modernizing a crane can consist of replacing drives, motors, and control panels. If your crane is not running the way you need it to, let us inspect your application and propose a solution that will best suit your needs.
