Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my crane be serviced?
Most cranes are required to be serviced every three months, with an annual inspection, under Australian Standard AS 2550.1. However, if your equipment is operating in harsh conditions or high-cycle usage, more frequent inspections may be necessary.
Can you provide 10-year and 25-year major assessments?
Yes. In addition to routine maintenance, we provide major structural and mechanical assessments necessary at the 10 and 25 year marks to ensure the crane is fit for continued safe use.
Are your technicians factory-trained?
Yes. Our staff are factory-trained by global manufacturers on a regular basis to ensure we are up-to-date on the diagnostic equipment and repair methods.
