Crane Service and Repair

At McCallum Engineering we have a dedicated crane-service department. Based in Christchurch we service and repair cranes for clients throughout the South Island. We have the expertise, parts and equipment to repair a broken down or mal-functioning overhead crane promptly.

As agents for Demag and Hydromech cranes we carry a large stock of new replacement parts and consumables. We also stock an inventory of pre-used Demag hoists and components which can often enable us to repair an older-model crane quickly when new parts are not readily available.

In addition to hoist parts and consumables we supply and install down-shop power-track and collectors, plus festoon track and trolleys.

We offer a preventive maintenance service programme tailored to suit the work-load of the cranes and the requirements of the crane operator. Our clients find that this improves performance and saves unwanted expense:

• Crane failures and breakdowns are reduced or eliminated, saving accidents, down-time and lost production.
• Moving parts are regularly inspected and lubricated, reducing wear and extending working life.
• Defects and wearing parts are identified early so that they can be monitored and replaced at a convenient time, before they become major problems.
• The client receives a service and inspection report for each crane. This is to be filed with the crane records for future reference.
• When the crane surveyor calls to conduct the annual certification inspection he can see that the client has a preventive maintenance programme in place, something that most crane surveyors promote.
