Reliable equipment is essential to the smooth running of your business. The same is true for your crane parts, regardless of the quality spectrum it is in or brand that made it—Kato, Kobelco, or Sumitomo.
Why Proper Maintenance of Crane Parts is a Must
Maintaining your equipment:
✔ keeps your business running
✔ protects your investment; and
✔ ensures the safety of your employees.
Unfortunately, cranes are often pushed beyond their limits. They wear down over time and as they do, their efficiency declines.
But, how do you know if what they need is a repair or replacement?
When Repair is Applicable
If your crane parts are structurally strong and and free of damage, repairing them could extend their life and make sure that they are up to safety standards. A maintenance check can detect malfunctions and repairs necessary to address the issue, increase dependability, and protect your employees.
Beyond these malfunctions, your crane parts—whether Kato, Kobelco, or Sumitomo—may be better off being replaced.
When Replacement is Necessary
Safety Issues - As said above, when your crane parts are no longer complying with relevant safety standards, upgrading them should probably be in order.
Repeated Repairs - If breakdowns and repairs on your crane parts are becoming a regular occurrence, it’s probably time for a replacement.
Declining Efficiency - Has the performance of your crane parts significantly dropped overtime? Has it been more difficult for your employees to operate them? If yes, then it’s time to replace them.
Expired Warranty - If your crane parts are past their warranty, it’s most likely that their best days are already behind them. It may also be time to replace them as soon as possible.
