The lifespan of a crane can be extended by replacing parts as needed and following maintenance protocols outlined by the manufacturer. We perform load testing and check safety systems regularly to ensure compliance with safety standards such as the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
