Konecranes breathes new life into aging crane for Upper Midwest Paper mill

Our paper mill was established in the early 1990s. Believe it or not, our cranes haven’t been upgraded much since. Needless to say, we are constantly dealing with breakdowns due to our aging equipment.

We knew we needed to improve our plant’s efficiency and safety, but we lacked the internal resources for a project of this scope. We looked into a number of crane service companies, but quickly discovered most of them only perform maintenance after a crane breaks down.

 

Konecranes successfully rejuvenates cranes

Konecranes stood out because of its maintenance program, which aims to increase the performance and longevity of cranes through regular inspections and planned repairs.

Konecranes developed a maintenance program specific to our needs. Year after year, the maintenance program has lowered our costs for overhead crane maintenance. As an added benefit, Konecranes also helped us fulfill our ISO compliancy requirements.

“Thanks to Konecranes, we don’t have to worry about our cranes anymore. In fact, we have not had a single crane-related production issue since our relationship with Konecranes began!”
