„Contact us with confidence!”, we ask our prospective clients. And it's not just an empty slogan that looks good in our materials, it's the basis of our daily operations. In today's article, we show you how a crane Eco-Cranes Ltd. what are the steps in the process from the material handling task to successful installation.
Step 1: Precisely define the task
It is often the case in our operations that our clients only need to the problem of cranes and material handling can perform, no proposal for the construction of the crane or crane system.
But that's enough for us, our expert engineers develop a solution package in consultation with the client, which contains suggestions on how the workstation should be designed to not only meet maximum safety requirements, but also to ensure that the work processes are freight movement as quickly and with as little energy input as possible.
To obtain the most comprehensive knowledge possible, we ask the client, explain the workflow to us. We seek answers to the following basic questions:
What to move, lift desired product? What is the weight, what is the shape? Where to move it from where? How often do I need to lift it with the crane? How many shifts would you work with the crane? Indoor crane it is important to know what the environment is like: what is the humidity, what is the average temperature in the hall? How many cranes would be on a pitch? Should more cranes are on the track, do they need to be controlled simultaneously, in tandem? How do you want to handle the load? Do you need to for special grippers or a filmmaker? At what speed should the load be moved while moving or lifting? Do very fine movements require a special frequency controller (e.g. for assembling casting tools)?
Step 2: On-site visit
Following the client interview, a site visit will take place, during whichmeasure the required span (i.e. the distance between the two ends of the crane runway), the runway length, the runway and hall height, and the thickness and quality of the existing concrete sub-base or concrete base, as well as the working environment: access to the hall, access possibilities.
It is also at this time that the crane's movement electricity questions: current, input voltage.
Step 3: Planning
The information obtained is used to start the design process, which our engineers special crane design software are solved using. Once the plans (and of course the budget) are to our client's satisfaction, the next step in the process is to...
Step 4: Manufacturing, installation
Based on the plans of our individual or partner, the SWF Crane technology GmbH., we manufacture and install the ordered crane or cranes on site.
Subsequently, but before the handover, a an independent expert licensed as an occupational safety and health expert we will survey the breastfeeding equipment and request a pre-commissioning health and safety inspection.
With this document and a load test and contact protection report, we hand over the mammal equipment to the customer.
Step 5: Maintenance and service
However, after a successful handover, we stay in contact with most of our customers and ensure that the lifting equipment and cranes we install are periodic servicing, and repairs under warranty and out-of-warranty.
