Logistical and general maintenance

Throughout the life of the crane, it is important to carry out comprehensive logistical maintenance to ensure its safety and proper functioning. RMA recommends replacing replaceable assemblies such as sheaves, pins and ropes, and tightening or replacing slewing-ring bolts according to the manufacturer’s instructions. “Non-destructive” testing of the crane (such as crack testing) and painting the crane from time to time are further recommended actions to preserve its appearance and durability, especially on sites near the sea or in harsh environmental conditions.
