Heavy Construction Crane Maintenance and Safety Tips

Maintenance of crawler cranes is essential to ensure their longevity and reliability.  Regular maintenance checks and compliance with safety protocols are key to keeping machines running efficiently and protecting operators.

Regular Maintenance Checks and Services

• Daily inspections: Before each shift Ensure that undercarriage or tracks are in good condition.

• Fluid levels and lubrication: Regularly check and maintain appropriate levels of engine oil, coolant, and hydraulic fluid. All moving parts should be well-lubricated to prevent wear and tear.

• Cleaning: After operations, clean the crane undercarriage to prevent buildup of materials that could lead to corrosion or mechanical blockages.

• Scheduled services: Carry out professional inspection, repair and replace parts as necessary according to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals.

• Attachment care: Inspect attachments for damage or wear and ensure they are correctly fitted and functioning before use.
