Selecting a 60ft crane requires a little in depth knowledge and a right mind as cranes don’t come easy and not cheap. In order to avoid a loss on purchase, these are some factors you need to consider when choosing a 60t crane:
● Manufacturing Company
The company manufacturing the crane should be a reputable company with a global appeal. The company should have years of experience in manufacturing good cranes that last and are not prone to frequent breakdowns. A crane is a long term investment and thus no chances should be taken when you are selecting one. A reputable company also gives assurance that the crane will be able to do the job well and not fail to do the specified task since they have been proven and tested. The company should use quality materials to assemble the crane to avoid fast wear and should be able to hold in strenuous work conditions. The crane should be able to hold prescribed weight due to good craftsmanship. And I know China Weihua Cranes Company(Weihua Grúas Compañía) can give you a satisfactory product.
● After Sales Services
When selecting a crane, it should also come with an after sales package where the company provides service and maintenance. Cranes have a lot of moving parts that require constant servicing to keep the crane in tip top shape. In case of a breakdown, the manufacturing company should be able to avail service men to come and repair the machine to keep it in operation since cranes are long term investments due to their price, they can’t just be discarded and another one is bought. You should look for a crane company that offers these services.
● Ease Of Maintenance
The overhead cranes(grúas viajeras) should be easy to repair and service. Spare parts should be readily available so that when a breakdown occurs repair can be done fast and the crane is back to operational status. Moving parts in the crane should be able to be reached in order to ease servicing hence increasing the life span of the crane.
● Budgeted Funds
When looking to acquire a crane, you should consider your purchasing power plus the budgeted funds. The crane should offer value for money and thus you should be keen when selecting a crane. A cheap crane might be too good on paper but will cause trouble due to constant breakdowns(averías constantes) and very expensive cranes might be just a waste if money as they do the same function as a budget crane. Funds available may also determine whether it is easier to purchase or lease.
● Working Area
You should consider the working area when you are selecting a crane, 60 ton(60 toneladas) crane come with various wheel types for different terrains. Choose the crane with a proper wheel type for your planned work area. Rough terrain will require wheels that can handle the terrain to avoid interruptions due to punctures or the crane cannot pass through. Smooth terrain doesn’t require special wheels and the ordinary wheels will be alright.
