Extends Machine Life
Cangraft can ‘Graft Machines’ to the highest standards of performance, productivity, and lifespan, along with improved safety and efficiency, avers

We undertake Refurbishment and Modernization of all makes of Tower Cranes, Mobile Tower Cranes and Passenger Hoists. Our aim is to extend the working life of machines. As cranes age and their components reach the end of their safe working period, they become unreliable leading to machine downtime and interrupted work at construction sites, causing delays in project completion. This results in escalated operating costs without any long-term value.
Planned refurbishment of machines can make them more safe, reliable, and capable of meeting their performance parameters. Our Life Extension Program for a crane (for example) will provide significant value, compared to an investment in a new crane. We also recommend a critical review of the equipment after 5 years to evaluate its technical performance and economic operation.
