Browse Available Equipment →New cranes should be designed around the actual application - not simply around the maximum load. Span, lifting height, operating environment, frequency of use, duty, travel requirements, building structure, controls and future maintenance all influence the final system.
We supply and integrate industrial wire rope hoists for new cranes, replacement projects, refurbishments and modernisation, together with custom single-pull industrial wire rope winches engineered around the application.
Wire Rope Hoist Capacities
Hoist selection can be matched to lifting capacity, lifting height, lifting speed, duty requirement, reeving arrangement, headroom, trolley configuration and the operating environment.
Custom industrial single-pull wire rope winch solutions can be configured around the required line pull, rope capacity, travel, speed, control method, mounting arrangement and operating application.
Where the existing crane and supporting systems remain suitable, targeted mechanical, electrical and control upgrades can extend service life and improve reliability without replacing the complete installation. Any proposed capacity increase requires assessment of the complete load path and supporting system - not simply fitting a larger hoist.
Hoist replacement, brakes, motors, gearboxes, couplings, bearings, wheel blocks, end carriages, wire ropes, rope guides and hook blocks.
New crane control panels, contactors, protection equipment, cabling, power feeds, pendant controls and electrical fault correction.
Variable-speed lifting and travel control can provide smoother acceleration and deceleration, improved positioning and reduced mechanical shock when correctly selected and configured.
Industrial radio remote conversions for improved operator positioning, control flexibility and replacement of unsuitable or worn pendant systems.
Load limiting, upper and lower lifting limits, ultimate limits, anti-collision, travel slowdown and stop limits, zoning and other application-specific safety functions.
Structural repairs, crane alterations, runway work, support structures and modifications subject to assessment of the existing structure, loads and intended operating requirements.
Service-exchange hoist stators are available for many crane and hoist brands, subject to stock and compatibility. Where an exchange unit is not available, suitable motors and stators can be stripped, assessed and rewound to the required original equipment specifications where the necessary technical data is available.
Older equipment does not automatically mean the complete hoist must be replaced. Through specialist sourcing and industry networks we can investigate new, alternative-source and selected pre-used components for older and difficult-to-support equipment.
Parts sourcing is not limited to one manufacturer. We support components for Kone, Demag, ABUS, Verlinde, SWF and other industrial crane and hoist systems, subject to correct identification and availability.
Keeping an older crane operating should not automatically mean paying for a complete new hoist. AC Crane Maintenance uses multiple sourcing channels to help clients find practical replacement options for both current and older industrial crane systems.
Our sourcing network includes access to imported replacement components, older and obsolete parts, selected pre-used components with useful remaining service life, and repair or service-exchange options for suitable components.
To help us identify the correct component, send as much information as possible:
Older Demag or obsolete component?
Send us the information before replacing the complete unit. We may be able to source, repair or identify an alternative solution.
Mobile crane support for once-off lifts, shutdowns, construction, plant maintenance, steel erection, machinery handling and longer-term projects. Crane selection is based on the actual lift requirement - not crane tonnage alone.
Correct crane selection considers load weight, working radius, required height, boom configuration, site access, ground conditions, setup area, rigging arrangement and the applicable crane load chart.
Planned inspection, servicing and testing should form part of the equipment lifecycle - not only something considered after a breakdown. We support clients with crane maintenance, lifting tackle inspections, load testing and documented equipment history.
Mechanical and electrical inspections, brake checks, wire rope and hook inspection, travel systems, controls, limits, lubrication, adjustments and documented service recommendations.
Inspection and record support for loose lifting tackle including slings, shackles, hooks, chain blocks, lever hoists, clamps, lifting beams and rigging accessories.
Load testing and associated documentation for applicable cranes, hoists and lifting machinery, including new installations and equipment affected by relevant repairs, relocation or modification.
Our Crane Health Monitoring system gives clients a structured way to track crane and lifting equipment history using QR-coded assets, digital inspections and traceable maintenance records.
Larger industrial projects often require mobile lifting, machinery relocation, rigging, transport coordination or long-term construction crane support in addition to the permanent overhead crane system.
Industrial machinery relocation, factory moves, production-line relocation, loading and offloading, crane-assisted machine moving, final positioning and specialised transport coordination.
