A crane is an engineering tool that sees a great deal of physical strain and wear. While a crane is naturally built and designed to withstand this wear, like most things, it will eventually reach a point where it needs some kind of reinforcement to continue functioning.
One method of tackling this issue of wear is to add performance parts to an existing crane. Performance parts are specially engineered and designed replacement parts, that meet or surpass the OEM requirements of the original crane.
Typical performance improvements can include changes to the material, design and manufacturing process that improve the effectiveness and even the overall life span of the part. These enhancements may be applied to the entire assembly, enabling the crane to run more efficiently while extending the life of the crane.
Performance parts should be seen and used as a way of improving an existing crane. While a crane with performance parts installed is effective, it is sometimes unnecessary when the existing crane is already functioning effectively.
