At Re-Fit, we believe that machinery doesn't have to be replaced to perform like new. Our comprehensive refurbishment services are designed to extend the lifespan of your plant equipment, reduce downtime, and ensure top-tier performance. Recently, we had the privilege of transforming a fleet of crawler cranes for one of our valued clients, demonstrating the true potential of plant refurbishment.

Understanding the Challenge


The client's crawler cranes had seen years of heavy-duty use, leading to mechanical wear, reduced efficiency, and compromised safety. Instead of facing the significant costs of full replacements, they opted for our expert refurbishment services.

Our goal? Restore each crane to its optimal condition while enhancing performance and reliability for years to come.

The Refurbishment Process


The project followed a step-by-step approach to ensure no detail was overlooked:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: Every crane underwent a detailed inspection to identify areas of concern, from hydraulic issues to structural wear.

  2. Disassembly and Cleaning: Components were carefully dismantled and cleaned to provide a clear view of their condition.

  3. Repair and Replacement: We repaired or replaced worn-out parts, ensuring all components met manufacturer specifications.

  4. Upgrades and Enhancements: Where possible, we introduced modern components to improve safety and efficiency.

  5. Reassembly and Testing: Once completed, the cranes were rigorously tested to ensure they met operational standards.
