ARE YOUR CRANES FIT FOR THE FUTURE?
If you’re considering whether a modernization is a valid option, you need a tool to help make decisions about the future use of your cranes. A Crane Reliability Study is an engineering assessment that evaluates the current condition of your crane and provides a theoretical estimate of its remaining design life and recommendations for next steps.

ALL CRANES HAVE A FINITE SERVICE LIFE
You may choose to perform a Crane Reliability Study when you're not sure if your cranes are capable of meeting growing production demands, or if you’re using your crane for purposes other than how they were originally classified. If you have safety issues or aren’t sure if it’s time to modernize, a CRS can give you the information you need.

TRANSFORM YOUR EXISTING CRANE
Modernizations can provide a complete transformation of your existing crane as an alternative to replacing it. Modernizations can also give you an opportunity to add current technologies. Common modernizations include the replacement of hoists, trolleys, operator cabs and controls to achieve increased capacity, speed, duty and load control.

BRAKING
With regenerative braking, power is sent back to the power grid during every downward or decelerated motion, instead of being dissipated by resistors. With more energy returned to the grid, less energy needs to be produced—leading to increased cost-savings.
