Shaping Street Cranexpress | Over 50 years of providing excellence
Street Cranexpress have a history expanding over half a century. Our growth has been thanks to consistently high standards, driving performance and keeping us at the peak of our industry.
Throughout our history, we have ensured the latest technologies have been adopted and made part of our service offering, or as a means to improve our efficiency. Our internal systems are constantly under review; if there is a better way for us to handle our customers, we will spot it. Many of our systems and platforms are bespoke, enabling us to provide a comprehensive service on systems designed with you in mind.
In 1972, Keith Eastwood launched CraneXpress to service and maintain all makes and models of cranes.
CraneXpress expanded their service offering following the purchase of Crane & Hoist Ltd, a supplier of hoists, jib cranes, gantries, slings, and other material handling equipment.
The group profile was diversified by the acquisition of electrical distributor, Burnand Components. The company would later become Bxh Ltd, who now has three branches; Sheffield, Scunthorpe, and Hull.
Burnand successfully purchased XH Electric, a similar electrical distributor based in Hull, prompting a change in the company name to Burnand XH. In 1992, a further branch was added in Scunthorpe.
Growth overtook all expectations and in 1997, the decision was made to merge Street CraneXpress, Crane & Hoist, and Intertotal, the latter became SCX Special Projects.
A restructuring set SCX as the holding company for both Street CraneXpress and Burnand XH, launching the SCX Group.
Street CraneXpress split into two separate companies; Street CraneXpress would continue their overhead crane services, and SCX Special Projects which would focus on the more complex engineering solutions.
In 2016, new state-of-the-art facilities opened with an expanded workshop and office space for Street CraneXpress. This would become the head office of the SCE Group.
The departure of SCX Special Projects from the group prompted a rebrand of the SCX Group. A modernised Street Cranexpress and bxh would join the newly formed SCE Group.
