If you are comparing crane suppliers across countries, the country of manufacture matters less than what the supplier can show you. This guide lists what to check, and shows what you can expect from a Turkish manufacturer such as CESAN.

What to check in any crane supplier
- Design standard: which standard is the crane designed to, and can they show it?
- Duty class: is it based on your real operating cycle?
- Documents: CE declaration, test records and manuals.
- Scope: what is included besides the crane itself.
- Installation: who installs and commissions, and who performs the load test?
- Spare parts: how they are supplied after handover.
- References: experience with projects like yours.
Factory and engineering in one place
When design, manufacture and after-sales sit in the same company, questions go to one team. Your engineer can discuss the specification with the people who design and build the crane.
Installation and commissioning
CESAN carries out installation and commissioning on site in any country. Clients who prefer to install the equipment themselves may do so. The load test is part of commissioning.
Shipping and delivery
Cranes are shipped from Turkey to the project site. Delivery time depends on the scope and is confirmed with the quotation. Ask every supplier to state the delivery terms and the scope they cover.
Standards and certificates
CESAN cranes carry the CE mark. The company holds ISO 9001 and TSE certificates. Design follows standards such as FEM 1.001, EN 13001 and ISO 4301. Read more in our guide to CE, FEM and DIN for crane buyers.
Questions to put to every supplier
- Which design standard and duty class does your offer use?
- Which documents do we receive at handover?
- Who installs and commissions on site?
- How are spare parts supplied and how fast can you answer a service request?
