Repairs

Mobile dock crane – boom and sheaves

We recently carried out extensive repairs to a mobile dock crane at Stukwerkers in Ghent. The customer had noticed unusual noises coming from the hinges to the boom, and unusual noises are always a cue to take action.

The action we took:

  • Took out the hoist cables and top cylinder
  • Supported the boom and lifted it out with mobile cranes
  • Replaced the bronze tubes in the hinges
  • Reinstalled and adjusted all the components, including new hoist cables

During the repairs, we noticed additional play on the upper boom sheaves. Since the hoist cables had already been taken out, we recommended replacing these at the same time. An efficient decision that avoided trouble – and more downtime – later on.

Result: a crane that is once again working quietly, safely, and reliably. That’s how we combine our technical expertise with active engagement on the shop floor.
