What is Crane Refurbishment?

Crane upgrades and crane refurbishment are very cost-effective crane solutions.
Crane refurbishment is the process of restoring, improving, and upgrading an existing crane. Cranes are inspected, repaired, and updated to improve their performance.
Crane refurbishment includes the repair or replacement of mechanical components, electrical system upgrades, structural reinforcement, safety system improvements, and cosmetic refurbishment. The refurbishment process can achieve higher efficiency. And refurbishment is often cheaper than purchasing a new crane.

How to upgrade and refurbish cranes?

Assessment crane: The crane is inspected and evaluated to identify how to be upgraded or refurbished. This includes evaluating the crane's mechanical, electrical, and structural components.
Mechanical upgrades: Mechanical aspects of the crane, such as motors, gears, brakes, and bearings, may be upgraded or replaced to improve performance. Worn or damaged parts will be replaced and repairs will be made.
Electrical system upgrades: The crane's electrical system, including control panels, wiring, switches, and sensors. Those may be upgraded to modernize control mechanisms, increase automation capabilities and improve safety. This may involve replacing obsolete components, installing new control systems, and integrating advanced technology.
Structural enhancements: The structural integrity of the crane is assessed and any necessary repairs or reinforcements are made. This includes strengthening critical load-bearing components, inspecting welds, and addressing any signs of corrosion or deterioration. The goal is to ensure that the crane can safely handle the intended load.
Safety enhancements: Upgrading safety systems is an important aspect of the refurbishment program. More safety features such as overload protection systems, emergency stop devices, collision avoidance systems, and improved operator interfaces can be installed to improve the safety of crane operations.
Painting and finishing: The appearance of the crane can be improved by sandblasting, repainting, and applying protective coatings. This not only improves aesthetics but also protects the crane from corrosion and extends its service life.

Why Custom a Crane Solution?

At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.

So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：

Improve efficiency: Cranes can use automatic controls, and special accessories to improve efficiency.
Break space constraints: In limited spaces, standard cranes may not fit due to their size. Custom cranes can be designed as compact or lightweight cranes.
Cost savings: Customized cranes can lead to long-term cost savings. Customized crane solutions ensure crane's performance is all necessary for your business.
