How we install your cleanroom crane: no surprises, full control

Installation (3)

When building a cleanroom, every detail matters. Air quality, the choice of materials, the positioning of equipment: everything must align. At first sight, a crane may seem like just another component, but in practice it is a crucial link in the overall process. At Mennens Cleanroom Cranes we understand this better than anyone. No lifting solution is ever standard. Each crane is designed and installed with close attention to the unique requirements of the customer.

No surprises on installation day

The installation process begins long before the crane is placed. During construction meetings we coordinate our activities with all parties involved, such as electrical engineers and flooring contractors. This collaborative approach creates transparency in project progress and avoids surprises on the day of installation. By identifying potential issues early and aligning schedules, we establish the right conditions for flawless execution.

The work plan as guide for technical precision

Installing a cleanroom crane requires technical expertise and accuracy. One of the first steps is drafting a detailed work plan. This plan specifies, among other things, the power supply, positioning, routing into the cleanroom, and project phasing. The plan is shared with all stakeholders, ensuring everyone knows exactly what needs to be done and when. This structured approach prevents misunderstandings and secures an efficient process.

Assembly, measurement and inspection: accurate to the millimeter

The process starts with measuring the crane runway. Using laser equipment, distances and heights are determined with millimeter precision, within minimal tolerances. Any deviations are immediately evaluated and, if necessary, corrected. This ensures the safety, reliability, and functionality of the lifting solution.

Handover and documentation: transparent and traceable

Before mounting the crane, the runway undergoes inspection. Following this check, the crane is installed on the runway. A visual inspection is carried out to detect any potential transport damage. Even when other construction activities take place simultaneously, we ensure seamless integration into the project. All data, such as measurement results, work reports, and the Site Acceptance Test (SAT), are recorded and shared with stakeholders so that all relevant documentation is accessible.

Once the work is complete, the formal handover takes place. From that moment, the crane is ready for immediate use in the cleanroom environment.

What is the lifting range of a cleanroom crane?

Lifting a load is the base of any lifting solution in a cleanroom. To define the right lifting solution, several aspects need to be considered. Two key concepts play a role; the lifting area and the lifting range. How these are defined and applied depends on the type of crane used.

Why construction meetings are essential for a flawless crane installation

Installing a cleanroom crane requires precision—not only in steel, but also in planning. Construction meetings provide the overview needed to identify bottlenecks early and prevent delays.

More than 25 years of engineering expertise in cleanroom lifting

Since 1888, Mennens has built engineering expertise in lifting technology. Since 2024, Mennens Cleanroom Cranes operates as an independent company, with a clear focus on lifting solutions for cleanrooms and controlled production environments.
