One of the most expensive parts of crane repair is not the cost of the actual repair. It is the loss of operating income that results when a crane is out of service. Your downtime cost can be extremely high when you consider your wasted business support cost, and your loss of business opportunity cost.
This is why it is valuable for companies to establish a strong working relationship with a reputable crane service company. As a leader in the crane industry, we can provide your company with the latest technology to keep your facility running with minimum downtime.
We can provide you with complete service including inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, spare parts, emergency breakdowns, modernizations, and new equipment. Unlike many crane manufacturers, we can service other manufacturers’ equipment as well, in fact, we maintain more cranes around the world than any other crane company.
Overhead crane inspections important part of a service program
Regular inspections of your cranes is the baseline for any successful maintenance program. Through inspections, crane inspectors can discover worn parts and other problems, and schedule a crane repair when it is least disruptive to the company’s operations. This saves the company from having to shut down during a peak production period due to unforeseen equipment failure.
Our CARE Preventive/Predictive Maintenance program features a preventive maintenance inspection that provides a baseline for planning, tracking, reporting and maintenance consultation with our customers.
Our consultative approach is supported by our unique MAINMAN Assessment or MAINMAN Planned Maintenance, proprietary Risk and Recommendation Method and global maintenance expertise. MAINMAN is unique in the overhead crane industry and can help provide a baseline for maintenance planning, tracking, reporting and consultation.
Trained crane technicians provide expert care
Our expert technicians work with customers to develop maintenance and crane repair programs best suited to supporting their operations and lifting equipment. We invest in our people and provide training on a continuing basis with all our employees.
Technicians are enrolled in an ongoing training program where they have minimum field hours required to go to the different training programs provided. The programs include all hoist makes so our technicians can provide the best service for all manufacturers. So no matter who at Konecranes services your equipment, or who you talk to on the phone, you will always get a dependable, knowledgeable person to help you.
To help customers decide whether a crane repair is a better, more cost-effective option over the long-run rather than replacing a piece of equipment, our technicians provide detailed proposals and analyses. Often, crane repair or modernization is the more effective solution.
With our diagnostic products and services like rail and rope surveys, service life analysis, or non-destructive testing, you get an accurate proposal to not only perform the repair but also extend the life of your crane. If it is more economical to provide a new piece of equipment, then we can provide a new crane to meet your needs.
We can provide new equipment or modernize your existing crane
Our products are designed to the highest safety and performance standards. We can provide our own manufactured chain hoists, rope hoists, light duty cranes, heavy duty cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, workstation cranes, and process cranes.
We also offer crane modernizations, which helps prevent lifting equipment from becoming obsolete, allowing it to continue contributing to a company’s bottom line for as long as possible. At a fraction of the cost of buying a new piece of equipment, a modernization can help a company ramp up its productivity. We also provide this service for any make of lifting equipment.
Crane parts for all makes and models
Replacing parts before they cause a breakdown helps prolong the life of a piece of equipment, and helps avoid property damage or personnel injury. We sell parts for all crane brands, not just our own and are the OEM of more than 40 different brands. Even if the manufacturer of your crane is out of business, we have the ability to reverse engineer your component and manufacture it in-house reducing your cost and downtime.
In the event that a crane does breaks down unexpectedly, we're able to respond quickly, as our team of expert technicians stand by 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
