Konecranes’ capability to provide a life extension on existing assets is fiscally responsible and delivers a high return on investment. MAINTENANCE Proper crane maintenance can add years to its service life, and helps optimise its efficiency, reliability, productivity and safety. Maintenance can be divided into two main types, corrective and preventative maintenance. Corrective maintenance occurs when a fault has been identified, either during a regular inspection, or through real-time crane monitoring (such as Konecranes TruConnect technology). Timely repair of faults improves safety and makes good economic sense. It also reduces the risk of emergency breakdowns, and is often mandated by industry regulations. Planned repairs are scheduled according to inspection and maintenance regulations. Optimally, the repair is coordinated and scheduled around production schedules, to minimise the impact of any downtime. Preventative maintenance is part of An example of a Konecranes modernisation on an old 1965 hoist (top) that was modernised in 2016 (bottom) a well-planned schedule and aims to eliminate potential problems before they occur. Konecranes creates proactive, customised maintenance plans based on individual equipment, application and duty cycles, with the overall aim of reducing risk and downtime, improving safety and reliability and identifying valuable improvement opportunities. Konecranes’ advanced TruConnect real-time monitoring technology takes preventative maintenance one step further, by constantly monitoring crane usage and providing real-time updates. Potential faults or problems can be identified at the earliest possible opportunity, and corrected before they cause major downtime. RETROFITS Retrofits are an easy and economical way to add additional features and technologies to your existing overhead crane. They typically require much less preplanning and downtime than full modernisations, which means a useful new feature can swiftly be added and begin improving the performance of a crane. Common retrofits include hoist and component replacements, variable speed control, radio remote control and LED lighting.
