Crane modernization

Modernizations can provide a complete transformation of your existing crane as an alternative to replacing it. Modernizations can also give you an opportunity to add current technologies.

Why modernize?

Prolong the economic service life of
your crane
Critical components are reaching the end of their economic service life
Your production demands are increasing
Your application has changed
Statutory requirements have changed
Costs and time spent maintaining your aged crane are rising
You are considering replacing your crane

Are your cranes fit for future?

If you’re considering whether a modernization is a valid option, you need a tool to help make decisions about the future use of your cranes. A Crane Reliability Study is an engineering assessment that evaluates the current condition of your crane and provides a theoretical estimate of its remaining design life and recommendations for next steps.

All cranes have a finite service life

You may choose to perform a Crane Reliability Study when you're not sure if your cranes are capable of meeting growing production demands, or if you’re using your crane for purposes other than how they were originally classified. If you have safety issues or aren’t sure if it’s time to modernize, a CRS can give you the information you need.

CRS process

A team of Konecranes specialists observes the production and operating environment of your crane
The overall condition of your crane structures and components is evaluated in detail with a focus on safety, productivity, reliability, usability and remaining design life
Operators and maintenance personnel are interviewed and all pertinent documentation
is reviewed
The team provides a detailed report and further consultation with advice on maintenance, modernizations and future investments
