FAQ: Frequently asked questions from our customers
How often must cranes and lifting equipment be inspected?
At least once a year in accordance with DGUV regulations. Regular inspections are mandatory and increase operational safety.
Which inspections are required for switchgear and electrical installations?
Electrical installations must be inspected regularly by qualified personnel in accordance with DGUV V3. The intervals depend on the type of equipment: Fixed installations (e.g., control cabinets): every 4 years; annually in higher-risk environments. Portable equipment (e.g., tools): every 6 months to 2 years, depending on use and risk.
What should you do if an electric motor overheats?
Common causes include overload, insufficient cooling or worn bearings. Immediate diagnosis and professional maintenance are crucial.
How can I extend the service life of electric motors and generators?
The service life of electric motors and generators can be significantly extended through regular maintenance, lubrication in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, and ensuring a clean, well-cooled operating environment. In addition, sensor-based condition monitoring, protection against environmental influences and proper storage help prevent failures and secure long-term efficiency.
How can I identify wear in hydraulic systems or gearboxes?
Typical signs include oil leaks, unusual noises ("whining", "knocking"), increased temperatures or vibrations. Regular oil and condition analyses help prevent damage at an early stage.
Why is my hydraulic system losing pressure?
Common causes include contaminated oil, leaks or cavitation. Remedies include an oil change, filter checks and seal inspections.
Why does my PLC control system fail?
Common causes include unstable power supply, overheating or faulty modules. Wiring errors and EMC interference can also play a role.
Which spare parts should be kept in stock for systems and cranes?
Critical components such as bearings, seals, brakes or chains should be available at all times to avoid downtime.
What should you do if a crane suddenly fails?
First, secure the load and cordon off the hazard area. Then contact the emergency service immediately. A 24/7 service ensures rapid restoration of operational readiness.
Is a retrofit worthwhile, or is a new build more economical?
A retrofit usually costs only around 20–30% of a new purchase and significantly extends service life. It is often the more economical solution.
What are the benefits of digitalizing maintenance (Industry 4.0)?
Sensors and predictive maintenance reduce failures, increase transparency and optimize maintenance cycles.
How can predictive maintenance prevent unplanned downtime?
Sensor-based monitoring detects impending failures early—allowing maintenance to be planned and production downtime to be avoided.
