Alimak supervises
A new service from container crane lift specialist Alimak, contains a threefold testing procedure to eliminate all errors before the lift is put into operation. The lift is scrutinised through a 24-hour commissioning test routine, to ensure that the product is flawless and tested at time of delivery, being supervised by an authorised Alimak service technician.
Kristiansand needed to be sure that the fendering would be suitable for the catamaran as well as the much larger ferries.
Finally the mounted lift is tested at the location, together with the end user and local authorities, and again supervised by the same Alimak technician. “With this Supervision Programme, we are taking our strengths one step further”, says Allan Leth, segment manager, Container Cranes. “We bring all the benefits of the Alimak support to the customer before the container crane even starts to operate. This will raise our customers’ productivity from day 1.”
Alimak’s support division is already noticing a decrease in claims from the monitored installations: “The supervision, together with our training of the lift operators, is clearly eliminating a lot of unnecessary errors. But foremost, this saves a lot of money for our customers”, says Per Wikstrom, manager warranty handling and product training.
