Konecranes is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for many well-known lifting equipment brands and has acquired a number of OEM drawing archives, with online access to hundreds of detailed engineering files and drawings.

Moreover, Konecranes has hundreds of OEM parts for competitor equipment as well as premium equivalent replacements and reverse-engineered parts for competitors in its own stock.

Reliable Spare Parts Program

Konecranes provides a custom spare parts program which includes spare parts evaluations to help customers plan parts inventory to control costs and achieve maximum uptime. The Spare Parts Program is designed for new and existing cranes to keep essential parts close at hand. When purchased in any of three recommended assortments, spare parts packages offer cost and time savings over buying parts on an “as needed” basis.

Trimming parts inventories can provide an affordable, short-term fix, but it can eventually lead to significantly higher costs. On-site stocking of critical spare parts is essential and imperative to obtaining the highest uptime of cranes. Parts specialists from Konecranes evaluate current spares inventory and recommend a specific spares package that meets budget constraints and is also appropriate for the age, make, model, and applications of the crane. A custom spare parts package from Konecranes can ensure that the right parts are on hand at the right time, for 24-hour, 365-day emergency breakdown replacement.

A spare parts evaluation can be advantageous if equipment exhibits excessive wear or comprises obsolete parts. Crane experts can provide a pre-breakdown evaluation, analyzing the parts of the equipment to identify critical components and obsolete parts. Through a careful parts analysis, crane experts will design a custom spare parts program to ensure stocking requirements are met efficiently and effectively to eliminate unexpected downtime. Crane experts can also identify potential safety non-compliance issues and provide a recommended course of action.
