Benefits of having your crane serviced and maintained

Increased Safety

Regular maintenance ensures that all parts of the crane are functioning correctly, which reduces the risk of accidents caused by equipment failure. This is crucial in preventing injuries and ensuring the safety of workers.

By performing routine checks and replacing worn or outdated parts, the overall lifespan of the crane can be extended. Regular maintenance prevents the deterioration that can lead from minor issues developing into major problems.

Equipment failure can lead to significant downtime, affecting productivity and potentially causing costly delays. Regular servicing helps to identify and fix issues before they lead to a breakdown, keeping operations running smoothly.

Improved Efficiency and Performance

Well-maintained cranes operate more efficiently. Regular maintenance can also optimise the performance of the crane, ensuring that it operates at its full capacity and speed, thus enhancing operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How often should a crane be serviced?

Any crane system should be serviced at least once a year. Depending on the environmental and usage conditions, this may be reduced to as often as once a month. In rare circumstances, an interim inspection may be required alongside frequent replacement of specific components.

By having your crane serviced, you significantly reduce the risks associated with equipment failure and improve the health and safety of your workers. In addition, with the chances of breakdowns being minimised, you improve your operations with less costly downtime, and keep a higher re-sale value of your asset.

Throughout the service, a visual inspection is carried out to all external and internal components, including electrical components, mechanical components and structural housing. Safety features are tested, fluid levels are checked and topped up if required, lubrications are applied and if any worn out components require replacing, this will be completed on site or included on the service report issued. In some cases, for fault diagnostics, the hoist may need to be removed for a full strip down.

See What our Customers Have to Say

As a company we have been dealing with JD Lifting for many years and I cannot recommend them enough. A great range of equipment is available for our HGV's (usually from stock) and if we request anything out of the ordinary sourcing it is never too much trouble. For me JD Lifting came into their own when I took on a new role at work and was a little green with the terminology and lifting capabilities on some items. If I am ever unsure then all I need to do is give JD Lifting a call and Jon and his team are always there to answer any questions and give a full explanation of a product or recommend something suitable. This is fantastic and definitely a service that I know I would not get elsewhere. JD Lifting have saved us from a few sticky situations over the years when we have needed something in a hurry. It's good to know that I have the back up when I need it. I know this is a company I can rely on and would not hesitate to recommend them 100%.
