ROUTINE MAINTENANCERoutine Maintenance has been designed to perform maintenance work, such as adjusting and lubricating with the intent of satisfying manufacturers’ maintenance instructions.

Regular routine maintenance can help reduce component wear and unplanned stoppages, and maintain equipment performance and availability.

COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS


COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONSCompliance Inspections are designed to satisfy regulatory requirements. Our trained inspectors and technicians are your go-to experts on local regulations. In some countries, regulations require the use of a third party.


SERVICE PRODUCTS TAILORED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTSIn most countries, our MAINMAN™ Planned Maintenance product combines preventive maintenance inspections with routine maintenance and forms the foundation for our CARE Preventive Maintenance Program. Where permitted, we can also perform compliance inspections to satisfy local regulatory requirements.

MAINMAN ASSESSMENT


SERVICE PRODUCTS TAILORED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTSIn the United States and Canada, our MAINMAN™ Assessment product is a preventive maintenance inspection that is designed to give you an in-depth view of the condition of your equipment. MAINMAN Assessment forms the foundation of our CARE Preventive Maintenance Program and satisfies the requirements of the periodic compliance inspection. Routine maintenance is always recommended alongside a MAINMAN Assessment.


RISK AND RECOMMENDATION METHODNo matter which service product is being applied, our Risk and Recommendation Method drives our evaluation and consultative process and provides you with documented safety and production action items.

COMPONENT CONDITION


COMPONENT CONDITIONEach component is inspected in order to ascertain its condition. Failures, deficiencies and violations are documented and assigned one of three risk types: safety, production, or undetermined.

In addition, a variety of improvement opportunities can be identified.

Recommended actions are determined and discussed with you.

SAFETY RISK


SAFETY RISKThe most critical risk type, a safety risk, indicates the risk of injury or danger. If a safety risk is identified, the equipment is unsafe to use before it is repaired or otherwise returned to an acceptable condition.

PRODUCTION RISK


PRODUCTION RISKA production risk indicates a risk of disruption to or loss to production due to the potential failure of a component.

UNDETERMINED RISK


UNDETERMINED RISKAn undetermined risk indicates that the condition could not be verified through visual inspection, under the scope of services provided, as a result of asset configuration and obstruction. In the event of an undetermined risk, we would normally recommend a deeper look at the component using a Consultation Services product.


OUR CONSULTATIVE APPROACHOnly Konecranes provides expert advice every step of the way. Our consultative approach can help guide your decision-making. We don’t just drop off a report on the way out. We take time to meet with you one-on-one and share our findings, provide recommendations based on our industry-leading expertise and discuss how each action impacts your operations and the entire health of your business.

SUPPLEMENT YOUR INSPECTIONS AND PM PROGRAMSome components that are not readily accessible for inspection without disassembly may pose an undetermined risk. Konecranes uses advanced technology and non-destructive testing (NDT) to uncover latent or hidden defects.

GEAR CASE INSPECTION


GEAR CASE INSPECTIONCranes that have been used heavily, or that have been in service for many years, can develop cumulative fatigue and other adverse characteristics. In extreme conditions, a gear case might fail catastrophically, resulting in a load drop.

In a Gear Case Inspection, internal components are assessed using an endoscope and oil analysis. In some cases the gear case is disassembled to perform non-destructive testing on the internal components.

COUPLING INSPECTION


COUPLING INSPECTIONCouplings are critical components for safe crane operation and in some cases need to be disassembled for inspection.

Proper alignment, assembly and lubrication are crucial for proper coupling life.

HOOK/SHANK INSPECTION


HOOK/SHANK INSPECTIONNon-destructive testing is available to uncover latent defects in the hook and shank.

We utilize various proven non-destructive testing techniques such as dye penetrant, magnetic particle and magnetic rubber, in addition to the visual inspection and measurements normally performed during a hook inspection.

ROPEQ MAGNETIC ROPE INSPECTION


ROPEQ MAGNETIC ROPE INSPECTIONThe internal wires, strands and core that are not readily visible are inspected with an electromagnetic device.

RopeQ is recommended for any wire rope application and is particularly useful in process cranes in constant use, cranes that are used only occasionally, ropes that are particularly hard to inspect visually and in post-accident inspections.
