CRANE REFURBISHMENT Ӏ MANITOWOC'S ENCORE PROGRAMME


advance. Remanufacturing gives owners a way to keep older cranes competitive without the cost of buying new. According to Manitowoc, a


well-executed refurbishment can extend a crane's life by 10–15 years. Lifting performance can be restored to original specifications and, often, there’s improved safety and regulatory compliance. The bottom-line benefits, too,


Before the EnCORE rebuild….


Manitowoc says, as refurbishment generally means less unplanned downtime plus the opportunity to increase rental range and maximise resale value. This way crane owners can


…and the refurbished crane


achieve near-new performance in a cost-effective manner, while keeping a familiar, proven machine in their fleet. According to Manitowoc a crane is more than just a simple


machine; it’s a highly engineered system where structural integrity, hydraulics, electronics, and safety controls all interact. That’s why it believes choosing an OEM for refurb makes a difference. By having the work done by an OEM, Manitowoc says, it benefits from engineering knowledge that only the OEM has. EnCORE, for example, uses original design data, structural load charts, and factory tolerances to guide its process. Work is then completed in line with updated engineering standards and proprietary testing procedures. This, it says, ensures every remanufactured crane or component meets the same performance standards as when the crane first left the factory. In addition, EnCORE rebuilds only use genuine Manitowoc, Grove, or Potain parts. Its technicians follow the same processes used in Manitowoc's manufacturing plants so there’s no compatibility risks, no uncertified structural repairs, and no guesswork in calibration or testing.
