Optimise by conversion and refurbishment
The conditions regarding the type and quantity of the goods
to be handled can change over the operating period of material
handling equipment. Older cranes often have significantly
higher operating costs. If you need more performance, additional
functions, new applications or an increased service life,
we can adapt your crane to meet your needs using state-of-the-art
systems and our unique expertise. This enables you to use
your existing installation more effectively, save the high
investment costs for completely new products and cut running
operating costs. This also results in improved operating conditions
and simplified maintenance work.
Contact us – the KSR specialists for crane conversion
and refurbishment will develop the optimum solution for your
handling needs. Fast, simple and cost-effective. You, too,
can benefit from our decades of experience and the expertise
of a crane manufacturer with thousands of installations in
operation world-wide; regardless of whether they are installations
from our product range – KSR, AUMUND, Demag, Keienburg,
PS – or cranes built by other manufacturers. In addition,
we can also convert and modernise used cranes to meet your
needs.
If a portal crane is moved from one location to another for
a different application, this requires a series of measures,
ranging from disassembly to re-commissioning, which can be
carried out by our professional full-service team. Changed
operating conditions may be combined with a modification of
the jib, or a replacement of the hoist unit and load handling
accessories. It may be necessary to modify the span if a crane
is used on an existing crane runway. In this context, it may
be necessary to refurbish the crane runway, as its condition
has a significant effect on the service life of various crane
components. As a rule, conversions are usually carried out
together with modernisation: in this way, replacement of some
of the steelwork, the electrical equipment or mechanical components
may be money well spent.
An example for modernising a rotary crane is to replace the
main bearing arrangement. The connecting element between the
lower fixed part of the crane (portal and mast) and the rotating
part of the crane is subjected to corresponding loads and
wear. If it has to be replaced, this may be done with or without
the need to remove the turning part and the jib system. In
any case, the complexity of a large slewing crane and the
specific weight of the machinery platform and the jib system
weighing several hundred tons make it necessary to have detailed
knowledge of the product and in-depth expertise. |
