Business case: Recurring Crane Rail Cracks in STS Crane rail construction Our client faced an issue with multiple recurring crane rail cracks in their STS (Ship-to-Shore) crane rail construction. Our team of expert crane rail inspectors carried out a comprehensive on-site investigation. This included a close inspection of the rails and structure involved, along with a review of the installation drawings to fully understand the original design intent and the addition of wheel load calculations for the various cranes. Our investigation revealed an issue. While individual components appeared suitable for the forces involved, the specific material choices prevented them from working cohesively. This issue created stress concentrations, which ultimately could lead to cracks. By implementing some targeted material changes, our client can significantly minimize future damage.   Ready to Get Your Crane Rails in SHAPE?   Experiencing issues with your crane rails? Don't wait!

Crane Rail Alignment: A Critical Component of Crane Safety Crane rail alignment is a critical component of crane safety. Misaligned rails can cause excessive wear and stress on the rails, wheels, and other parts of the crane. This can lead to premature failure and accidents. It is advisable to have your crane rail construction checked every few years by a specialist to ensure that it is properly aligned. This is especially important if the crane is used frequently or in a continue working environment like terminals. Benefits of regular crane rail alignment checks: ✅ Improved safety: Regular alignment checks can help to identify and address alignment problems before they lead to accidents. ✅ Extended lifespan: Regular alignment checks can help to extend the lifespan of the crane rails and other components by reducing wear and tear. ✅ Reduced maintenance costs: Regular alignment checks can help to reduce maintenance costs by identifying and addressing problems early on. Improved crane performance: Regular alignment checks can help to improve crane performance by ensuring that the crane is operating smoothly and efficiently.
