Preventative Maintenance (Cranes and heavy machinery)

In the manufacturing industry, downtime refers to the period of time in which a company’s factory or a specific line is not producing a product. This is expensive to a company’s bottom line and profit margins, as often downtime is unplanned and occurs while normal business functions continue, including paying employees and ordering material to manufacture products. It becomes even more expensive if you factor in the opportunity cost of having a machine sit idle. One research study showed unplanned downtime cost companies an average of $260k for every hour of downtime, while another study found that car manufacturers lost $22k for every minute of downtime.
We offer 6 inspection plans based on your current service needs, to ensure your compliance with current OHSA and CSA (B167) standards. By scheduling routine repairs, maintenance work and inspections, we will help prevent equipment safety issues, breakdowns and compliance violations but also help avert component failure. These programs also have the added benefit of helping to avoid unnecessary production downtime.
