The cost of maintaining lifting equipment generally fall into three catagories; injuries, lost production, and direct maintenance costs (repair, record keeping, inspection, and replacement). The key to minimizing ongoing maintenance costs is aggressive preventive maintenance, eliminating unnecessary repair time and re-work.
Liftsafe Engineering and Service Group Inc. offers a customized PM Plus maintenance program that monitors and prevents equipment failures. By scheduling routine repairs, maintenance work and inspections, we will help to not only prevent equipment safety issues, breakdowns and compliance violations, but avert component failure. This can avoid unnecessary production downtime - saving you time and money!
Frequency:
We have consulted all manufacturers' recommended maintenance schedules to establish your PM needs. Our knowledgeable staff will investigate your equipment and the environment of your work place and equipment usage, to determine your maintenance needs based on four categories:
| Usage | Description | Recommended Frequency |
| Normal | This involves operations with randomly distributed loads below the rated limits for minimal cycles. Single shift operations. | Semi-Annual |
| Medium High | This involves operations with more frequently distributed loads within the maximum rated load limits for more, frequent cycles. Two or three shift operations. | Bi-Monthly to Quarterly |
| Heavy | This involves operations with constant operation of the equipment at maximum load limits at the maximum duty cycle. | Monthly |
| Severe | This involves operations with normal to heavy service with abnormal and extreme operating conditions and environments. | Weekly to Bi-Weekly |
Liftsafe will work out a maintenance report with a thorough equipment condition analysis and suggestions for possible improvement solutions. The primary goal is to maximize overall equipment effectiveness.
