Modernization
You have chosen to make an investment in your company by using a crane, therefore rebuilding it and modernizing it will help protect it and prolong the life of this investment.
Why Modernization you ask?
New technology, increased production requirements, customer demands and moderns times may demand more production, faster operating speeds, better controls or automation.
Reliability may have deteriorated with your aging equipment resulting in unscheduled shutdowns and increased production costs, delay in getting your customers what they need. Parts may be obsolete resulting in high spare parts costs and long lead time. Inspections may show your equipment is out of date, has excessive wear and is non-compliant with current safety standards.
There Are Options:
– Upgrade from inefficient braking systems to recommended hydraulic thruster brakes
– Replace reversing contactors with VFD (Variable Frequency Drives).
– Add a remote control system
– Anti–Collision system for safety
What Are the Benefits:
– Improved brake performance and brake linings that last longer
– Gain better control and extend life span of crane
– Remote Control System can bring crane operator closer to the load eliminating the need for a signal person and eliminates the safety risk of that signal person
– Anti-Collision Systems can prevent crane to crane crashing but can also prevent crane to object collisions. This means reduced maintenance costs, less repairs and increased operator safety.
