Corrective maintenance and retrofits

Corrective maintenance is carried out after a fault is detected and is aimed at restoring your crane to a condition in which it can perform its intended function. Timely repair of known faults reduces the likelihood of emergency breakdowns and is often mandated by regulation.

Retrofits are a relatively easy and economical way to add current features and technologies to your existing overhead crane. Common retrofits include hoist and component replacements, variable speed control, radio remote control and LED lighting. Compared to modernizations, retrofits typically require much less pre-planning and downtime.


Planned crane repairs

Correcting known faults is good for safety and makes economic sense. Component faults identified during inspections and preventive maintenance are documented, and corrective actions are discussed with you. We will coordinate crane and hoist repairs around your production schedule in order to minimize downtime.

Led lighting retrofit for cranes

Traditional metal-halide or halogen lights have a short service life and can suffer from damage due to vibrations, resulting in increased costs and less-efficient operations. With an LED Lighting Retrofit you get lights that have a much longer service life, and your lights will be far less prone to damage from vibration.

Traditional lighting can account for 50 to 90 percent of electricity used by a crane. Lighting is, therefore, a major cost in all crane operations. LED lights provide the same degree of lighting to the working area than standard lights, yet consume little more than one third of the energy.


Get connected to your crane fleet

A remote service connection can be installed as a retrofit kit for your existing industrial cranes to give you access to TRUCONNECT® Remote Services. This retrofit enables you to receive detailed information from your cranes and sends it to you on the device of your choice. TRUCONNECT analyzes and compiles your fleet data and turns it into valuable information so you can monitor your cranes using the latest technology.
