Konecranes, the world’s largest crane service organisation, has launched an audit service to help industries to determine whether their overhead lifting equipment achieves optimum reliability, performance and mandatory safety standards. The Crane Reliability Survey™ (CRS) - being introduced to Australia and New Zealand as part of a global performance and safety initiative - tracks the condition, reliability, service life and operating safety of a crane and its components. The CRS can be particularly valuable in ensuring compliance with mandatory 10-year mechanical and 25-year structural inspections in accordance with Australian Standards (AS2550.3), says Konecranes National Sales Manager Bill Shukla “As the world’s largest crane service organisation – with expertise gained in servicing 310,000 cranes of all makes – we can offer a comprehensive and dependable CRS process to ensure your cranes meet and exceed the required performance and safety levels.” CRS can be carried out for all makes and models of overhead lifting equipment, with highly trained and experienced Konecranes professionals using the most advanced technology, says Mr Shukla. The Crane Reliability Survey provides an exhaustive analysis and a comprehensive report which serves as a solid basis for crane owners to make sound decisions about the future use and maintenance of the crane. “The results are presented in a comprehensive report that outlines the condition of your crane and its current operating capacity. In addition, the report contains recommendations for the future actions needed to maximise equipment use by enhancing safety, improving performance, increasing reliability and extending the life of equipment.”
