About Zentro Projects
A Gauteng crane engineering company built around production uptime.
Since 2016, Zentro Projects has manufactured, installed, repaired and refurbished cranes, lifting equipment and steel fabrication for industrial sites that cannot afford to stop. We operate from our Springs workshop and service the wider Gauteng region.
Our story
Started on the plant floor, not a catalogue.
Zentro Projects was founded to give industrial sites in Gauteng a crane partner that understands the real cost of downtime. We have grown by doing the work others avoid: emergency breakdowns in the middle of a shift, runway alignments in partially operational bays, and refurbishments that extend the life of cranes others would replace.
From our base in Springs we support manufacturing bays, mining service workshops, logistics depots and steel fabrication yards across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand. Every project starts with a site assessment, not a sales pitch, because the right crane decision depends on load, duty, access and the way your facility actually works.
We are not equipment resellers. We design, build, install and maintain lifting systems, and we stand behind them with load testing, compliance documentation and a breakdown line that is answered when it matters.
What we do
Full-spectrum crane and lifting solutions.
Manufacture
Single and double girder overhead cranes, jib cranes and gantries built to site-specific capacity, span and duty requirements.
Install
Complete mechanical and electrical installation, runway alignment, commissioning and operator handover with minimal production disruption.
Repair
Breakdown response, electrical fault-finding, hoist repairs, gearbox and wheel replacements, and urgent callouts across Gauteng.
Refurbish
Structural repairs, control upgrades, paint and mechanical restoration that brings older cranes back to reliable, compliant service.
How we work
From first enquiry to signed-off handover.
Every crane project follows the same disciplined sequence, whether it is a new 30-tonne double girder installation or a same-day breakdown repair.
- 01
Site assessment
We measure the bay, inspect the existing crane or runway, review access and understand the load and duty cycle.
- 02
Specification
Capacity, span, hoist speed, control type and structural requirements are matched to the application and budget.
- 03
Build & install
Cranes are manufactured or refurbished in our workshop, then installed, wired and commissioned on site.
- 04
Test & certify
Load testing, functional checks and compliance records are issued so the crane is audit-ready from day one.
Why Zentro
Principles that guide every project.
Engineering first
We specify before we quote. A crane that is too light, too slow or poorly matched to duty is more expensive than the right one.
Safety by design
Load limiters, limit switches, guarding and documented handovers are not optional extras — they are built into every system we deliver.
Uptime focus
We plan installations around production schedules and keep spares and technicians ready for urgent breakdowns across Gauteng.
Local accountability
You deal with the same team from survey to handover. No call centres, no disappearing subcontractors, no undocumented work.
Certifications
Compliance you can file.
Our work is supported by the two credentials that matter for crane work in South Africa: OHS Act compliance and statutory load-testing qualification.
OHS Act compliance
Inspection and handover records that help safety officers demonstrate due diligence and satisfy occupational health and safety requirements.
Statutory load-testing qualification
Certified load testing and documentation for cranes, hoists and lifting equipment, issued to keep your site audit-ready.
