Crane parts modernisation is the process of improving an existing crane, by adapting, or modernising its existing parts so that it functions more effectively. This can be a much more financially viable way for a construction company to increase its productivity, instead of investing in a completely new crane model.
Modernising a crane is not only financially effective, but it will also reduce the downtime as well as the running costs of an existing crane. Through parts modernisation, high-maintenance and/or obsolete components are replaced with new parts manufactured to today’s tolerances and standards of performance.
It also increases the safety of a crane since older parts can be unreliable and are prone to failure. Parts modernisation enhances safety by replacing these parts with reliable new components.
Beyond the scope of a Parts or Component Modernization, you might be in need of a complete crane modernisation. A crane modernisation involves increasing the lifting capacity, speed or span of the crane.
