A global approach to maintenance management
Preventive Maintenance Inspections identify risks and improvement opportunities. Our vast experience and expertise allow us to tailor preventive maintenance to each manufacturer’s recommendations.
Routine Maintenance, such as adjusting and lubricating, is performed to keep your equipment running while satisfying manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Compliance Inspections are designed to satisfy regulatory requirements. Our trained inspectors and technicians are your go-to experts on local regulations. In some countries, regulations require the use of a third party.
What happens during a Konecranes inspection?
Service products tailored to your requirements
In most countries, our MAINMAN™ Planned Maintenance product combines preventive maintenance inspections with routine maintenance and forms the foundation for our CARE Preventive Maintenance Program. Where permitted, we can also perform compliance inspections to satisfy local regulatory requirements.
In the United States and Canada, our MAINMAN™ Assessment product is a preventive maintenance inspection that is designed to give you an in-depth view of the condition of your equipment. MAINMAN Assessment forms the foundation of our CARE Preventive Maintenance Program and satisfies the requirements of the periodic compliance inspection. Routine maintenance is always recommended alongside a MAINMAN Assessment.
Our consultative approach
Only Konecranes provides expert advice every step of the way. As part of our consultative approach, we perform the following reviews.
Safety Review
This equipment-level review is to inform you of detected safety-related faults or issues before the technician leaves your site or before the equipment is returned to operation.
Visit Review
Following the completion of each service request, our inspector or technician will share the insights of their inspection or maintenance findings and review the identified risks and recommended actions.
Service Review
A service professional from your local branch will follow up with you to go through open recommendations and quotes, answer your questions and plan next steps.
Business Review
This business-level review of your current maintenance program is aimed at demonstrating a return on investment and driving continuous improvement.
Consultation services supplement your inspections and PM program
Some components that are not readily accessible for inspection without disassembly may pose an undetermined risk. Konecranes uses advanced technology and non-destructive testing (NDT) to uncover latent or hidden defects.
Gear Case Inspection: Internal components are assessed using an endoscope and oil analysis. In some cases the gear case is disassembled to perform non-destructive testing on the internal components.
Hook Analysis: We use visual and NDT inspections combined with fatigue calculations of the hook/shank and critical components of the bottom block to evaluate hook life, condition and safety.
RopeQ Magnetic Rope Inspection: The internal wires, strands and core that are not readily visible are inspected with an electromagnetic device.
