Bramley Engineering (Lifting Gear) Ltd

Bramley Engineering ltd was established in Ivinghoe in 1981 by John & Davina Bramley following John’s apprenticeship and early career in South Africa. Now based in Leighton Buzzard and run since 2007 by Graham and Emma Bramley the company remains a family run business encompassing a hardworking, fun, and fair working ethos that benefits our customers, suppliers, and staff.

Over the last 40 years the company has evolved to ensure it meets health and safety requirements, is up to date with legislation and has safe working practices. We became ISO registered in 2004 following a large project for the nuclear power sector, we have continued to develop our systems as demands and in-house practices have required it.

Bramley Engineering manufactures many forms of lifting equipment including overhead cranes, gantries, monorails, jib cranes and davits. We specialise in bespoke lifting solutions and have over the years provided solutions for many varied situations. Using the latest in CAD technology Graham continues to improve and adapt his knowledge to the needs of the customer.

Our customers are many and varied and include the water industry for whom we have been working for twenty-five years, construction companies both large and small and the rail sector. In 2018 we won a contract to provide a grid system of 18 cranes in Lincoln for Siemens rail, this project saw us win our first award for ‘working as one’ with the customer. This award was greatly appreciated as not only did it show the customers appreciation it reminded us that our working practices and ethos are in line with ‘lifting your expectations’.

We are members of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) whose knowledge and expertise are always on hand should we require assistance. They audit us annually and ensure we are up to date with latest legislation and that our working practices meet the needs of our customers.

As well as the cranes and lifting solutions we provide LOLER examinations and sell all ‘below the hook’ lifting accessories. We have an online system that keeps records of all the equipment we have examined. Our customers can always have access to their certificates ensuring they are compliant with health and safety requirements. We hold stock of web and round slings, shackles and chain slings and welcome customers to visit our premises to discuss their needs.

Bramley Engineering always welcome new and exciting challenges with both existing and new customers.  We relish the chance to expand our bespoke lifting portfolio and to use our extensive knowledge and innovative outlook to help others find their perfect lifting solution.  We are always striving to lift expectations.
