Frequently Asked Questions
Is a NANTE crane imported, and does that mean support will be a problem?
NANTE cranes are world-class machines offered at import value, but they're backed by local support across Africa: spare-parts support, technical service, maintenance and certification. The old problem with imported equipment was suppliers who sold a machine and disappeared. NANTE owns the whole lifecycle, from design and installation to ongoing parts and service, so you're supported like you would be by any local partner.
What does NANTE actually do beyond selling the crane?
NANTE provides a complete, integrated solution: project consulting, design, manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance and technical support, all under one roof. One supplier, one point of accountability. That means there's never a question of who owns the problem when you need something.
How quickly can you respond if our crane goes down?
Minimising your downtime is the point of our support model. Our spare-parts and technical-support structure is built so a stoppage is measured in hours, not weeks. Book a free site assessment and we'll show you exactly what support looks like for your operation and location.
Will the crane be right for our specific application?
Yes. Every NANTE crane is a customised solution, engineered to your load, span, lifting height, duty cycle and environment, not pulled off a shelf. That's what the free site assessment is for: a NANTE engineer reviews your operation and specifies a crane built for the job you actually do.
What types of cranes and equipment do you supply?
A full range, including overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes and light crane systems, plus hoists, end carriages, conductor rails, festoon systems and a complete catalogue of crane components and rigging equipment. Whether you need a complete crane or a single replacement part, NANTE can supply it.
What is a free technical site assessment, and is there any obligation?
A NANTE engineer visits your site, reviews your application, and shows you exactly how we'd answer every requirement for your operation, documented, so you have something concrete to compare against any supplier. It's free, and there's no obligation to buy.
