Crane Modernization
Comprehensive Crane Modernization Services
MHS Crane provides crane modernization services for businesses looking to improve the safety, reliability, and performance of existing lifting equipment. Modernization can extend the useful life of a crane while addressing outdated components, changing operational requirements, and equipment wear.
Our team can modernize a range of lifting systems, including overhead cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, and hoists. We evaluate the existing equipment and determine which components can be upgraded, refurbished, or replaced.
Crane Modernization Options
MHS crane modernizations can include:
- Equipment updates and upgrades
- Overhead crane modernization
- Span measurement changes
- Replacement of defective or weather-damaged components
- Electrical system refurbishment
- Mechanical component replacement
- Capacity and warning label updates
- Surface preparation and repainting
- Crane system upgrades and modifications
Our Crane Modernization Process
MHS first evaluates the existing crane to identify components that need repair, replacement, or upgrades. When appropriate, we dismantle the crane and transport it to our facility for inspection, rework, and refurbishment.
The modernization process may include replacing worn or damaged components, updating equipment, restoring surfaces, and applying a fresh coat of paint. New capacity and warning labels can also be installed to reflect the updated system.
This approach can give an older crane a significantly improved appearance and help restore reliable performance without requiring complete replacement of the equipment.
Complete Electrical Refurbishment & Surface Restoration
Modernization may involve more than mechanical repairs. MHS can also refurbish electrical systems and evaluate the bridge, trolley, and hoist functions to ensure the crane operates properly after the work is completed.
Once the modernization work is finished, the crane undergoes functional testing and a quality control inspection at our facility. After successfully completing the required checks, the system is prepared for reinstallation.
If requested by the customer, load testing can also be performed on-site after the crane has been reinstalled.
