Century Crane Engineers (P) Ltd.

At 16/6 on Mathura Road, you’ll find the yard and office of Century Crane Engineers (P) Ltd. We deal with some pretty heavy equipment, so the place is always full of iron and grease. It’s not the cleanest environment, but that’s the nature of working with cranes. We spend a lot of time outside or in the high-ceiling bays where we can lift things. The traffic on Mathura Road is a constant backdrop to our work. We’ve got a mix of older guys who know every bolt on a crane and some younger ones learning the ropes. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit behind because we’d rather be out in the shop fixing a winch or checking a cable. The office is just a couple of rooms with some old metal filing cabinets and a few desks. We don’t really do fancy presentations. If someone wants to know what we do, we just show them the machines. It’s a tough job sometimes, especially when it’s raining and we’re trying to move something big. But we’ve been at this for a long time at this same location. We just keep our heads down and do the maintenance and engineering work that’s needed. It’s a gritty business, but it’s what we know. We aren't worried about the polish, just the strength of the steel and the reliability of the hooks.
