Misaligned overhead crane runways cause wear on crane wheels, wheel flanges, bearings and rails. Left uncorrected, they can result in accidents, failure or derailment of overhead cranes and can lead to loss of productivity and costly downtime required for repair and replacement of expensive parts.

Though gear case inspections are not typically part of standard compliance procedures, they’re essential to crane safety and productivity. Appropriately timed gear case inspections can mean the difference between minimally disruptive, proactive crane maintenance and gear case failure that results in serious consequences. A broken bridge or trolley drive gear case, for example, will prevent the crane from moving, thus halting production and profits. A faulty gear box located on the hoist, on the other hand, is much more dangerous. Failure can lead to dropped loads, injury, and even fatalities.

A good crane service provider helps your facility operate more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. In an industry where every hour of production impacts business, it’s simply not acceptable to wait for parts, undo the faulty repairs of an inexperienced technician, or halt operations only to have your annual inspection delayed or cancelled. Fortunately, the right crane service provider not only avoids these mistakes, but it also adds value by finding ways to improve your operations and control service costs.

Manufacturers and regulatory agencies make servicing a crane the right way a straightforward matter: Develop and implement a preventive maintenance program that follows the manufacturer’s recommendations. It’s good advice that’s written into the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).
