Konecranes certified inspectors draw on thousands of hours of training and experience and use the latest tools to evaluate components, analyze wear patterns, and report on mechanical, structural, and electrical aspects of crane equipment. Existing conditions are compared to industry averages and proactive recommendations are specified in prepared reports. "Our inspectors are highly trained, seasoned professionals with valuable insight," says Williams. "They don't simply mark off a checklist in order to meet regulations. Instead, they determine root problems and uncover potential problems in order to provide customers with the information they need to make strategic and proactive decisions." Customers participating in the program can expect fewer safety failures, reduced production consequences, and a steady increase in crane reliability.

The MAINMAN Maintenance Management Program emphasizes maximizing equipment operation by achieving higher levels of performance and increased up time. Determining the right solution involves balancing budget limitations and production demands. Repair efforts are completed in accordance with specific customer requirements and priorities.

The MAINMAN Maintenance Management Program uses recommendations and goals as benchmarks to establish a process of continuous improvement. This includes regular reviews to track spending and illustrate how the program is meeting expected savings. Adjustments are made as necessary to ensure that the program generates consistent and measurable results.

The MAINMAN Maintenance Management Program protects crane investment and provides maximum reliability. Although maintenance will always be a challenge, it can be effectively managed. "Proactive measures will minimize down time and increase overall production," says Williams. "If you leave maintenance to chance, chances are the worst possible problem will occur at the worst possible time. This program puts you in control of maintenance rather than letting maintenance control you."
