PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT modernises four process cranes
In addition, Demag Service will equip the four process cranes with synchronised control, which will significantly reduce mechanical wear on the travel wheels and the crane runway.
The magnet equipment, the crabs with their 36 t open winch units (MPW), the control cabs and the crane lights of the existing cranes will be kept and installed on the new crane bridges. As part of the preparation work,
the crane runways were surveyed with the Demag laser measuring system (LMS). The results indicated that more needed to be refurbished. Imperial Logistics awarded the
contract to replace the entire crane runway, which measures 574 m in length, to Kranservice Rheinberg GmbH, a Demag Service Company.
High availability to safeguard core business Holger Hausmann, Senior Project Manager at IMPERIAL states: “Process reliability and on- time delivery are key elements of our business model, which our customers can rely on. That is why our crane installations need to have a high level of availability, since they work around the clock. With its modernisation package, Demag Service made us a good offer that will enable us to support our customers with reliable and efficient contract logistics also going for- ward.”
Carolin Paulus, Vice President
Global Services & Marketing at Terex Material Handling adds: “Demag service technicians have been looking after the crane installations operated by Imperial Logistics at their Bochum plant for years. The level of quality that we provide there persuaded our customer Imperial also to award a contract to Demag Service for the maintenance of the cranes at their location in Wolfsburg. We are pleased about the confidence placed in us and we will use our expertise to quickly implement these modernisation measures so that our customer can concentrate fully on his core business.”
