260 cranes and hoists at power plant
Grosskraftwerk Mannheim AG (GKM) produces energy and distant heating for the booming Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Each of the approximately 260 cranes and hoists used in the plant requires maintenance and safety-related checks on an annual basis.
GKM relies on the competence of the crane specialists at Konecranes and its customer portal yourKonecranes.com, which means GKM always has its 260 units in view online.
At the beginning of each year, the experts at Konecranes coordinate the timeframes for maintenance and the safety-related checks with GKM.
The cranes and hoists at GKM have different years of construction, manufacturers and histories. This results in individual requirements that Konecranes needs to consider for the check-up. For maintenance and check-up of all units, Konecranes service technicians spend approximately three months at GKM.
Following each maintenance work, Konecranes creates a test report for each of the 260 cranes and hoists and advises how to further optimise the units.
