Mobile maintenance cranes – flexible support for maintenance work
Maintaining heavy system components at different locations –
The crane travels with every maintenance job.
- Can be used at various locations
- No fixed assignment necessary
- Quickly repositioned
Challenges in maintenance
- Heavy system components (motors, pumps, gearboxes) at various locations
- Ergonomic load during repair and maintenance work
- Time pressure in the event of unplanned breakdowns and critical repairs
- Various maintenance points occasionally require crane support
- Heavy spare parts must be transported and installed safely
- Limited budgets for crane infrastructure in maintenance
Why mobilecranes are ideal for maintenance work
- Flexibility: crane support available wherever it is needed
- One crane for all areas: Higher capacity utilization instead of fixed allocation to systems
- Fast availability: No waiting for free capacity in other areas
- Economical solution: Lower investment than several range cranes
Technical advantages for maintenance work
- Robust construction: durable even with intensive use
- Controlled movements: Safe handling of sensitive system parts
- Various load capacities: From 100kg to 1000kg depending on the component
- Smooth operation: easy to control even with heavy loads
- Low-maintenance technology: Minimal failure of the aid itself
Typical applications in maintenance
- Component replacement: Removing/installing motors, pumps, gearboxes and drives
- Spare parts handling: transporting and positioning heavy spare parts safely
- Plant maintenance: support with scheduled inspections and services
- Emergency repairs: fast crane support in the event of unplanned downtime
- Modernizations: Removing old components, installing new parts
- Revision: Handling heavy system parts for general overhaul
Ergonomics and safety during maintenance work
- Easy on the back: heavy spare parts do not have to be carried manually
- Safe handling: controlled movements even under time pressure
- Less fatigue: Employees remain productive even during long repairs
- Accident prevention: Reduces the risk of injury when handling heavy parts
- Better quality of work: working under less physical strain leads to more careful repairs
Efficiency in maintenance practice
- Faster repairs: Ergonomic handling speeds up work processes
- Reduced downtime: Less time for material handling, more for actual repairs
- Flexible deployment planning: use the crane where maintenance is currently due
- Reduced personnel workload: one employee can handle heavy parts alone
- Less material damage: controlled handling reduces damage
Economic efficiency for maintenance
- Higher crane utilization: One crane supports different maintenance areas
- Reduced repair times: More efficient work thanks to ergonomic support
- Lower medical costs: fewer absences due to physical overload
- Flexible capacities: crane follows the current maintenance workload
- Future-proof: Can be flexibly adapted for system expansions or conversions
