The Crane Reliability Study (CRS) is an engineering assessment that studies the current condition of your crane and provides a theoretical estimate of its remaining design life
Understanding your equipment concerns
- How reliable is your equipment?
- Are your cranes capable of meeting growing production demands?
- What sort of plan do you have for the life of your cranes? (e.g., future production, safety standards)
- Do your total crane costs contribute to a positive ROI?
- Are you using your cranes as they were originally classified?
- Are there any safety issues with your current equipment?
- Is it time to modernize or replace aging crane assets?
Cranes are not designed to last forever
- All cranes have a finite service life
- Machinery components receive increased cycles during each lift.
- Faults will grow faster
- Scheduled inspections are not frequent enough to predict fault to failure
- Important to determine design life of your crane components
- How much time does your crane have left?
- When should you replace? Repair? Modernize?
Planning the future of your cranes
- Engineering assessment based on all available data
- Conducted by highly-trained crane specialists
- Gathers and audits crane production, maintenance history and current usage
- Offers 360° view on equipment safety and productivity, regardless of equipment make or model
- Calculates remaining Design Life of crane and its components
- Provides customized reporting with recommendations for next steps based on your operational needs
Smart planning through informed decisions
- Knowledge of actual safety, condition and performance
- Accurate picture of the remaining life of your crane and its components
- Information to help you make objective decisions about improving the productivity of your cranes – including consultation about your future needs
