ABUS cranes for the toughest tasks

Before installing an overhead crane, it is necessary to check whether the existing or planned building allows suitable placement of the crane and the construction of an appropriate crane runway. Key factors are the load-bearing capacity of the structure, the available space and how the crane will be used in the work process. If the building structure does not allow direct installation of the runway, a free-standing or separate runway can be built that is not tied to the existing structure. Such a solution enables flexible installation even in more demanding or already existing production spaces. For the best result we recommend a professional on-site inspection and technical alignment before the project is carried out.

Regular servicing and expert inspections are recommended to ensure safe, reliable and long-lasting operation of ABUS cranes. For single-shift operation we recommend a preventive crane inspection once a year, carried out by an authorised service technician. Regular maintenance ensures safe operation, reduces the likelihood of breakdowns and extends the service life of the lifting system. With more intensive use or multi-shift operation, inspection intervals can be adjusted according to the loads and operating conditions.

ABUS lifting systems are designed for long-term, reliable and safe use even in demanding industrial environments. With regular maintenance and correct use, they can achieve a very long service life. The standard warranty period for ABUS cranes is 24 months. With a maintenance contract, the warranty period is extended to 48 months, providing users with extra security and worry-free use of the system.
