Maintenance & Servicing
Baker Cranes carries out maintenance and servicing on all brands of cranes. We have an experienced team of service staff who can promptly resolve your problems. Our service team is responsible for maintaining around 1000 cranes of various brands throughout New Zealand.
We stock a large range of spare parts for ABUS cranes, and we can usually obtain parts for all makes of cranes in use in New Zealand. We can also engineer and carry out modifications and upgrades of existing equipment.
All our service staff are kept up to date with on-going technical and safety training. This includes technical training carried out at ABUS head office, Germany, and at Eilbeck Cranes, Australia. Also, as we are a crane manufacturer, our service staff are involved in the assembly and fitting out processes and therefore become fully conversant with the electrical and mechanical systems of our cranes.
Regular Inspections
Regular preventative maintenance is necessary to ensure equipment is operating in a safe condition. In addition, regular preventative maintenance will minimise unscheduled downtime due to breakdowns.
We have a computerized maintenance system which provides reminders of service work due and records work carried out. From this Baker Cranes provides service records and reports which provide for each crane a management record of crane maintenance. This assists with compliance with the "Approved Code of Practice for Cranes", as controllers of cranes are required to keep these records on file.
Assessment of Suitability for On-going Use
Modern crane equipment is designed for a finite life of 10 years, based on the anticipated amount of daily use. The equipment must be assessed as to whether the actual use has been greater or lesser than the anticipated use and the actual remaining life calculated. Baker Cranes has the expertise to carry out these assessments.
