Design Working Period Assessment

What is the design life of your crane or hoist?

Cranes and hoists don't last forever.

Are you concerned about the design life of your crane? Maybe:

  • Your lifting equipment is old
  • Its usage has changed resulting in a greater workload
  • Or, you don’t know – is that keeping you up at night?
You are not alone. Many businesses face this challenge. As all cranes and hoists have a shelf life, understanding their design life becomes crucial. A crane or hoist that operates outside of its design working period poses a serious health and safety risk, unpredictable downtime and costly repairs, and compliance issues.

This is where the design working period assessment comes in:
  • A calculated summary of your crane’s remaining working life. Answering the question; what is the lifespan of my crane?
  • an insight into the condition of your crane
  • actionable next steps to improve the safety and reliability of your equipment.

Street Cranexpress provide a simple solution to this complex problem.

A design working period assessment report from Street Cranexpress addresses these issues head-on:

  • Simple, cost-effective analysis: We provide an inexpensive evaluation of your equipment’s usage and condition.
  • Dependability Predictions: Our report includes forecasts of your equipment’s potential condition.
  • Actionable Recommendations: Receive expert advice on maintenance and upgrades to ensure optimal reliability and safety.

We prioritise the longevity, efficiency, and safety of your lifting equipment. Our design working period assessments are tailored to provide you with an initial understanding of your equipment’s current working life, ensuring you can make informed decisions regarding the next steps, should any action be required.

The Benefits of Design Working Period Reports

  • Enhanced safety and reliability: Prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.
  • Cost savings: Reduce unexpected downtime and costly repairs through proactive maintenance.
  • Compliance: Stay aligned with industry standards and regulations.

How does Street Cranexpress produce the design working period assessment?

We have developed a simple solution for a complex problem.

All we need is for you to complete the form we have produced and provide some basic information about your crane and its usage. Once completed and returned to us, we do the rest by producing the design working period assessment to clearly show you insights into your crane’s usage and lifespan. This will also feature expert advice on recommended next steps.

Even if you are unable to provide full information, we can produce an understanding of your crane using estimates. We can also guide you through providing the answers we need and supply engineer assistance if needed.

This service provides peace of mind through a simplified, user-friendly solution that is compliant with ISO 12482:2014. You have the expertise of Street Cranexpress to lean on should you need it. Following receipt of your design working period report, we can proceed to a special assessment (which offers more depth), then a general overhaul of your lifting equipment should this be required.

Finning UK

I’d just like to thank you for your help in organising the repair work carried out on both our workshop cranes, your engineers did an excellent job on both occasions and worked in a professional and safe manner.

Special Metal Wiggins

Regarding the busbar installation; The engineers attending were punctual, professional, and timely with good on-site comms with me. We haven’t had any reoccurring problems with the new system. We will be considering Street Cranexpress for future upgrades.

JLL

[Your engineers] were spot on and also made another job safe and workable… their reactions to our request are an example of going above and beyond and saved us what previously has been shifts if not days downtime.

Sulzer

WOW, our first time using you guys on a call-out having been with our previous crane contractor for years. We feared the change just because we know the previous company, their engineers and have worked together so long. I wanted to reach out to let you know that from start to finish working with you guys, the experience has been great. From logging the call out, booking the engineer, attendance on site, the whole process has been pain-free and quick.

JCB

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all involved who dealt with the new hoist replacement over the weekend just gone. A defect, which would have left us without the use of a critical crane on the assembly line Monday morning. Your team’s response and efficiency were much appreciated.

Kimberley Clark

Your team assisted in the reconstruction of our overhead crane after it had been damaged. Your team’s approach to the job was exceptional. They promptly mobilised to the site, worked diligently with a safety-first mindset, and successfully got the crane functional for the next shutdown. This allowed our mill to resume operations without any delay. Thank you for your team’s professionalism and dedication! It is partnerships like this that are very important to the mill and Kimberley Clark.

JLL

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for getting us out of a tight spot with that crane response last night – very much appreciated, awesome customer service!

JCB

In my experience Street Cranexpress are the best in their field, I always go to them for technical advice, which they will happily give (even if it is not related to equipment/services they have installed and/or provided). Their response times regarding equipment issues (if you have them) are very good and they always carry out any works professionally and safely.

Sunseeker

The transition [moving from another service supplier] couldn’t have been better. You’ve made my life easier.

Southern Water​

We have been kept up to date daily with progress, which is brilliant.

Southern Water​

I wanted to drop you both a quick line to thank you and your teams for your efforts in getting our crane back up and running in between Christmas and New Year. As you both know, we are under pressure for output and having all our cranes in running order keeps flexibility in our facility. Once again, thank you for all your effort.

Rolls Royce​

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for getting us out of a tight spot with that crane response last night – very much appreciated, awesome customer service!

Polypipe

Bit of a strange email and probably the first I’ve ever sent of its kind. However, I just wanted to pass on some feedback on the engineer we had attend site for the Service Remedials this week. He was on of the most polite, helpful engineers I’ve experienced on site in my time here at Polypipe, and it’s something we all picked up on in the office.

Perkins

The friendliness of the team and their passion to give the best service is really nice, you all do everything you can to help anyone. I felt that this has not been voiced and would like to let you know that you are appreciated very much.

MITIE

Would just like to pass on some feedback regarding some of your engineers, its often reported quick enough hen something hasn’t gone correctly but not when there is some good feedback to report. I had Jordan and Matt attend site for a planned repair at REL last week and the way they conducted the tasks they were undertaking was spot on, from the initial site meet to filling out the POWRA and setting up the work area. I asked Jordan to pop over to PCO with me and walk a client through a step-by-step method statement you have provided for exiting the crane and again it was very detailed. Great effort from the lads.

MITIE

I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the team at Street Cranexpress for your excellent service and support over the last 12 months, moving to you was a positive move for this contract and this shows with the monthly results.

Toyota

The nights engineer this week has been diligent, thorough, flexible, and hard working. A pleasure to work with.

MITIE

It’s not often that contractors get praise in here but I thought it was worthwhile mentioning and feeding back to you that the team managed to repair 3 crane pendants and also replace a harness and get 4 cranes back into service today. It was a great effort and your engineers deserve credit for getting the final crane up and running that needed the harness replacing, by using initiative to check all stores for spares and get this repaired. Please pass on my thanks to the team.

CBRE

Outstanding engineers. Their knowledge of cranes is invaluable.

Breedon Group

I would just like to pass on my sincere thanks for a job well done yesterday. It was a pleasure to work with your guys, they came with all the right equipment, the right attitude and just got on with the job in a safe manner.
