As lifting equipment and
associated components age,
efficiency and reliability can
be compromised, resulting in
higher operating costs and
safety implications. To address
these issues, Demag Cranes &
Components recommends
that its lifting equipment
undergoes a general overhaul
at least every 10 years.
Demag general overhaul
programmes have been
designed to restore equipment
to optimum performance
and safety levels, providing a
cost effective alternative to
investment in new materials
handling technologies. Such
regimes, backed by ongoing
certification, also help
operators meet obligations
under workplace health and
safety legislation.
