When it comes to completing 10- and 25-year service and inspections, our technicians will first determine whether a crane is due for a major service or may have an extended life. We will also assess whether it is more economical to proceed with a major service or to pursue a more cost-effective solution.
At Cranetec, we manage the completion of all aspects of the major service stage by completing only what is required for reliability, safety, and compliance, while delivering an economical outcome in Sydney & Melbourne.
Since 2002, the following Australian Standards for cranes, hoists & winches have been implemented:
> AS2550.1-2002 Cranes, Hoists & Winches – Safe Use Part 1: General Requirements
> AS2550.3-2002 Cranes, Hoists & Winches – Safe Use Part 3: Bridge, Gantry, Portal Cranes
> AS1418.1-2002 Cranes, Hoists & Winches Part 1: General Requirements
In regards to maintenance, AS2550.3-2002, Section 7 – Maintenance Inspection & Repairs, a couple of critical changes are:
> Clause 7.2.2 Routine Maintenance Service shall not exceed three (3) monthly intervals
> Clause 7.3.2 Pre-operational Visual Inspection shall be carried out at the commencement of each working shift & a log book shall be completed.
We can help you with all aspects of meeting compliance requirements.
To ensure you get the longest possible working life from your crane & to lessen your liability in the event of an accident involving your crane, regular inspections & servicing are a must for any commercial operation.
Cranetec can perform inspections, identify & effect repairs & ensure that you are in compliance with all relevant laws & regulations.
