Crane Repair, Maintenance, and Service

Whether you need preventive maintenance or emergency repair, Flatiron technicians have the tools, skills, and experience necessary to keep your systems in good working order.

Complete Service & Repair Capabilities

Flatiron offers a full range of repair and maintenance services designed to extend the life of your cranes and enhance their capabilities. Our technicians provide:

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Preventive maintenance identifies worn parts, mechanical issues, and early warning signs to address problems before they escalate to total system failure. They also ensure parts are lubricated, calibrated, and aligned in order to minimize operational stress on your equipment.

Emergency Repair Services

Our technicians are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to restore your cranes after an unexpected breakdown. We work quickly to locate and resolve mechanical, electrical, or structural failures, to help you avoid delays, disruptions, and lost revenue.

Component Repair & Rebuilds

Refurbishing old, worn, and defective parts allows you to revitalize your cranes without replacing the entire system. Overhauling broken parts improves power, performance, and reliability while saving money, strengthening performance, and extending the life of your equipment.

Field Service Capabilities

  • Inspections. Evaluate your system’s mechanical, electrical, and structural elements to make sure they meet OSHA guidelines for performance and safety.
  • Troubleshooting. Diagnoses faulty equipment in order to discover the root cause of intermittent operation or system failure.
  • Adjustments. Reduce pressure on moving components by re-aligning tracks and runways that allow overhead cranes to maneuver through your workspace.
  • Testing. Verifies that your bridge, trolley, or hoist can perform as expected after major service, through post-repair load and safety tests.

Integrated Crane Solutions

Flatiron expertise covers every aspect of crane operations. Besides repairing material handling equipment, our service teams help you:

Conduct Regular Inspections

Our inspectors understand your equipment inside and out, allowing them to catch potential problems before they escalate. Regular inspections help you avoid major failures and costly repairs.

Keep Equipment Running with Quality Parts

As an OEM distributor, we source components for every crane currently on the market. If a part cannot be located, our team can fabricate it according to the original manufacturer’s specifications.

Develop Custom Solutions for Unique Challenges

Instead of relying on standard, off-the-shelf systems, Flatiron engineers can build a crane tailored to your exact physical or operational requirements ‒ in order to maximize efficiency in difficult environments.

Decide When Upgrades Make More Sense Than Repairs

While Flatiron technicians can fix nearly any system, sometimes modernizing your crane is more cost-effective. Besides improving safety, performance, and reliability, replacing outdated parts normally lowers upkeep costs as well.

When Replacement Is the Better Option

Upgrades significantly enhance your lifting capabilities, but there is a limit to what they can do. If maintenance is becoming more onerous, our team can help you determine whether it’s time to invest in a new system.

Automate for Efficiency, Safety, and Control

Automation allows you to move materials safely and efficiently. Whether you’re searching for a new system or upgrading an existing one, Flatiron mechanical and software systems can help simplify your lifting operations.

  3. Can you perform repairs on-site?

    In many cases, our technicians can repair your crane on-site, with minimal disruption or downtime.

  4. Do you service equipment outside your immediate area?
