Load tests are required on all new crane installations, as well as if a structure is moved. Testing motions in all directions, hoist functionality, running the crane the full length of the runway and the trolley the full length of the girder as some of the main components of a load test. The equipment must be tested at 125% of its rated capacity. Precision Crane can supply suitable weights for testing of any capacity.

Is your equipment in good shape but needs an upgrade on a budget?
With the rising costs of new equipment it can sometimes be more cost effective to modernize or upgrade your existing Crane. Precision Crane can rebuild your existing unit by replacing items such as the hoist and trolley, bridge drives, end trucks and electrics. Often a simple component replacement or upgrade can add significant improvement and increase the versatility of your equipment. Contact our sales department for more information and useful suggestions that will help you to make an informed and money saving decision for your company.
