September 1st 2008

Morris Material Handling provides a total crane care package at the Worcester-based facility of mining equipment manufacturer, Joy Mining Machinery.

Involving the provision of a comprehensive, fixed price maintenance contract covering 50 overhead travelling cranes and 120 jib hoists, Morris' maintenance services division has also undertaken additional project work, including the design and installation of overhead travelling cranes.

As Joy Mining Machinery's works engineer comments: "Given the high risk activities associated with our on-site cranes and jib hoists, it is essential that the lifting equipment is maintained to the highest standards and in accordance with manufacturers' maintenance schedules to ensure safe operation and optimum efficiency.

"The Total Crane Care Package offered by Morris meets these criteria. Resident Morris site engineers carry out daily safety inspections, routine planned maintenance, reactive breakdown maintenance and outside normal hour 'call outs' The service is reviewed to ensure that standards are maintained at optimum cost, and to date Joy has been extremely satisfied with the service levels provided."
