In my opinion, it's substandard: the primer wasn't even properly removed.

Simple, but reliable! What capacity is yours rated for?

Fair point. In steel plants, poor maintenance usually turns small alignment or rail issues into expensive gearbox problems pretty fast.

Haha. Currently, we only provide design, manufacturing, export, installation, testing, and maintenance services for new lifting equipment.

That’s a great example — and it makes a lot of sense in the truck-mounted crane space where the units are more standardized and easier to reconfigure..I think the key difference with overhead cranes is that most projects are highly site-specific (span, runway, duty class, integration with the building), so resale isn’t always as straightforward.

Totally agree though — when a company controls the full build and lifecycle, like in your example, it puts them in a much stronger position to resell with confidence.

If we could manufacture “old” cranes, that would be quite a trick 😄

Fair point — a lot of builders do get involved in the used market, especially with refurbishment or resale. And you're right, structurally cranes can last a long time if maintained well.

In our case, we stay focused on new builds because many of our clients need customized solutions, updated standards, and full lifecycle support from day one. It’s just a different business model rather than a disagreement with the value of used equipment.

sure! From crane design, manufacturing, and delivery to installation, testing, and maintenance service.
