Overview
Planned, proactive maintenance is the single most cost-effective thing you can do for your overhead cranes. It catches wear before it becomes failure, keeps your equipment safe and legal, and turns unpredictable downtime into a schedule you control.
CraneCert builds a maintenance programme around your shift patterns, duty cycles and production peaks, so servicing happens when it suits you rather than when a breakdown forces it.
Why it matters
Regular inspection, lubrication and adjustment of hoists, gearboxes, brakes and wheels means parts last longer and fail less.
Catching worn brake discs and fraying ropes early has cut breakdowns by up to 40% for clients on a planned programme.
Maintenance dovetails with your LOLER and PUWER obligations, with certificates managed in the cloud via CertFlow.
Monthly, quarterly or annual plans matched to your production schedule, with priority engineer access when you need it.
Manufacturer coverage
From Demag maintenance and Kone crane servicing to planned care for mixed fleets, our engineers maintain overhead, gantry, jib and hoist systems across Yorkshire, the Midlands and the North.
Service visits cover the equipment's condition, duty and manufacturer guidance, with clear reports to help you plan repairs and keep production moving.
FAQ
It depends on duty and usage, but most cranes benefit from planned maintenance every 3 to 12 months, alongside the statutory LOLER thorough examination (every 12 months, or 6 months for cranes lifting people). We recommend the right interval after surveying your equipment.
No. Maintenance keeps the crane working well; a LOLER thorough examination is a separate statutory inspection of its safety. The two work together, and we can deliver both.
We service and maintain overhead, gantry, jib, KBK and hoist systems from Kone, Stahl, Yale, Misia, Street, Abus, Morris, Clayton, Smith Keighley, Wharton, GH Cranes, Demag, GIS, Liftket, Kito, Aabacus. Tell us the make, model and site location so we can plan the work around your equipment.
