Bulk Carrier Crane Repairs

In April 2019, our team was dispatched to New Zealand to assess and repair issues reported with the controls on cranes number 2 and 4, as well as damage to crane number 3 on a bulk carrier. The repairs included the installation of neutral support devices and replacement sheaves on cranes 1, 2, and 4. Additionally, the damage to the jib on crane number 3 had caused it to become stuck in position.

Within days, we successfully resolved the various issues, including the removal of the damaged jib, which had been caused by faulty servicing performed by an unauthorized hydraulic technician. As the authorised agent for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems, Ltd. for deck cranes & deck machinery, our team at Hydraulic Distributors leveraged our factory training with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems, Ltd. in Japan to ensure the job was completed correctly and on schedule.
