Project Scenario 2
Major Port & Terminal
Crane Overhauls
Ensure Cranes Can Withstand Intense Operational Cycles
and Harsh Environmental Conditions.
Scenario
Major port and container terminal operators operate cranes that load and unload cargo from ships. These cranes are subject to intense operational cycles and environmental exposure such as very hot or cold temperatures, saltwater exposure, and wear.
Approach
- Rowlands Services collaborates with the port or terminal management to assess the condition of existing cranes.
- They analyse historical maintenance records, crane usage patterns, and safety compliance.
- A detailed inspection identifies critical components requiring attention.
- Theorectical design life analysis using design work period calculation is completed.
Solutions Offered
Structural and Critical System Inspection
- Rowlands Services completes structural and critical system inspections aligned with OEM, relevant standards, and legislative requirements.
- The inspection report details the cranes condition and remedial actions necessary to return the crane back to optimum condition.
Structural Repairs
- Rowlands Services reinforces critical structural components, such as boom sections, hinge points and trolley rails.
- Welding repairs, corrosion protection, and load testing ensure longevity.
Critical System Upgrades
- Rowlands can return existing systems back to optimum condition, where they modernise control systems, replacing outdated components with modern systems.
- Gearbox & Hoist Overhaul – Rowlands Services disassembles gearboxes, inspects gears, bearings, and seals. They replace worn parts and recalibrate hoist systems for optimal lifting capacity.
Cordinating with Port & Terminal Management to:
1. Meticulously analyse historical maintenance records
2. Conduct detailed Inspections
3. Identify areas in need of repair or reinforcement
