Crane and lifting equipment maintenance

“Planned or ad hoc, we are there 24/7”

Failure of the equipment, when lifting a vital load from a vessel or when changing asset critical equipment: can cost lives, cause serious damage and delay production or drilling. Effective maintenance is vital. Whether your maintenance needs are planned or reactive, Sparrows has the personnel, equipment and experience to engineer a safe, cost-effective solution.

Experience over 35 years has led Sparrows to a maintenance philosophy aimed at optimising effort, doing just enough at the right time to prevent outages and achieve near 100% uptime. Sparrows has a team of specialist Maintenance Engineers who can run any equipment through a Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis study to determine when inspections and maintenance need to be undertaken, ensuring that single point failures that would lead to a dropped load are mitigated. From here a Maintenance Strategy is worked up, complete with a set of detailed Planned Maintenance Routines. In short the Sparrows team determines the most cost effective inspection and maintenance regime balanced with safest operation for that particular lifting equipment, its location and operating parameters.

If you require a different more ad-hoc approach, then Sparrows is able to provide specialist, trained, qualified, competent, experienced Maintenance Technicians to carry out every aspect of lifting equipment maintenance from a simple quarterly inspection to a complete crane change-out. Such a crew would work to a detailed plan and procedures prepared by a supporting Project Engineer. Whatever the problem, Sparrows can mobilise Maintenance Technicians within 24 hours who have the knowledge and experience to deal with any breakdowns. It may be your worst nightmare, but we have probably seen worse.
