- Established
Service Capabilities
- - Crane & Hoist Maintenance
- Regular maintenance is not an option when it comes to overhead lifting
devices. OSHA mandates inspection and load testing of this equipment
on a periodic basis, depending on duty cycle, lift capacity, and other
criteria. In order to pass these OSHA-required inspections, and the
related load tests, cranes & hoists must be within specifications set by the
manufacturer and the various regulatory agencies. All of this requires
that certain maintenance be performed. Call on Standard Crane & Hoist
to assist you in designing and implementing an OSHA-approved load testing
and inspection program, and to make sure that your equipment is maintained
to be within compliance.
- - Emergency Repair Service
- All crane technicians are available for 24-7 emergency callout service
to respond to your service outages.
- - Crane & Hoist Equipment & Controls -- Modernization and
Capacity Upgrades
- Many customers are able to utilize existing bridge crane components
(such as I-beams and end-trucks) while upgrading hoist motors and controls to achieve the efficiency and
reliability of the latest lifting technology. Standard Crane & Hoist
can retrofit cabled pendant controls with radio controls, can install power
bar systems in lieu of obsolete cable festoon systems, can install variable
frequency drives for soft start and smooth 2 speed hoist operations, etc.
We can also increase the capacity of your equipment to lift larger and/or
heavier loads. With such upgrades, and brand new paint, your equipment
will look great and operate up to the latest modern day capacities, an in
most cases at a fraction of
the cost of buying a new overhead crane. An updated crane will be less
costly to operate and maintain, and will be more energy efficient in its
operation.
- Please call on our technical sales representatives to survey your existing
equipment and suggest cost effective improvements to your lifting procedures
and equipment.
- - Offshore/Marine
Services
- Our service technicians are available to support crane repair,
maintenance and inspection requirements for the offshore oil industry.
- - Crane & Hoist Inspections
- As mentioned above, overhead lifting equipment is subject to stringent
inspection requirements. Please visit the Industry Links section of
our website to access OSHA Regulations via the web. Standard Crane &
Hoist will consult with you to insure that your workplace lifting equipment
is in compliance with the various inspection and load testing guidelines,
and that you are keeping the documentation required to pass an OSHA
inspection. Standard Crane & Hoist performs the routine safety
inspections called for in the OSHA regulations.
- - Field ID Inspection Service
- Standard Crane & Hoist employs Field ID, a proprietary palm-computer
based inspection program, to perform and produce the required inspection
reports for your equipment. The data collected is then stored and
backed up on an off-site, enterprise-wide web server to insure that you will always have
access to your inspection reports and documentation.
- - Crane Operator Training
- The person operating your crane ultimately determines the safety record
and the operating efficiency of your lifting equipment. For this
reason, Standard Crane & Hoist offers Overhead Crane Operator training
courses. Attendees of Standard Crane & Hoist Operator training will
