Special cranes are cranes with a custom control unit. These cranes can be designed to handle items such as car bodies, truck cabs, and other special goods.
Special Cranes
Special cranes are often placed in the middle of the production line, making them very vulnerable to unplanned downtime. That is why we have adapted our maintenance system specifically to this type of facility.
This, combined with our extensive experience and expertise in the field, means we can help you minimise the risk of downtime.

AU– Remedial maintenance of special cranes
Do You Need Emergency Maintenance or Repair Assistance?
More often than not, we are a quick phone call away from dispatching a service technician whose an expert at solving problems involving pallet cranes and its auxiliary equipment.
Remedial maintenance involves us...
- Troubleshooting and locating the cause of the problem,
- Performing necessary repairs (if possible),
- Acquiring the necessary spare parts,
- Scheduling a new appointment if immediate repairs are not possible.
To resolve downtime as quickly as possible, we recommend our customers keep certain spare parts in their own inventory. This is due to there sometimes being long wait times for deliveries from the suppliers, or parts that need to be made to order.

- We perform preventative maintenance by working with you to draft and follow a maintenance plan.

Rail Grinding
Rail Grinding
High bay storage cranes are rail-bound and after many hours of use, the rails can become worn at the railhead or along the sides. In some cases, the welded joints are longer and more elevated compared to the rest of the track, which can cause a slamming noise.
We grind the rails to remove any uneven parts and to restore its camber. The tool used for rail grinding is encapsulated and equipped with a smoke filter. This means that we can grind your rails without the need for additional protections along the crane’s path. We also perform rail welding and other types of repairs.
