02What we do per make

The same four checks, whatever the plate says.

Every crane visit starts the same way: pressure readings at the test points, a look at the slewing bearing clearance and pinion, a signal check from the joystick to the controller, and a brake holding test. The drawings and parts lists for the make tell us the limits; the measurements tell us what to do.

For Japanese makes such as Mitsubishi, IHI, Fukushima and Tsuji, many of the hydraulic pumps and motors are Kawasaki or Nachi units, and we keep seal kits and rotary group parts for them. For Liebherr, MacGregor, TTS and Palfinger Marine cranes, the control electronics are often the deciding factor, and our automation department handles obsolete controllers.
