What to prepare before the service team arrives

Technical description: The checklist consolidates essential pre-service requirements—documentation, site access, isolation, tooling, and safety controls—to ensure technicians can execute inspections and repairs efficiently. It standardizes readiness steps across different crane types (STS, RTG, MHC) and port layouts.

Step-by-step procedure:

o   1) Documentation: latest inspection records, OEM manuals, maintenance logs, permits-to-work.

o   2) Access & logistics: clear routes, laydown areas, lifting plans for tooling, gate passes.

o   3) Isolation: electrical LOTO, hydraulic depressurization, mechanical locking, signage.

o   4) Safety: barricades, rescue plan, fall protection, gas testing (if applicable), comms.

o   5) Crane configuration: boom/jib position, trolley parking, rope/reeving condition check.

o   6) Tooling & spares: availability of calibrated instruments, rigging, consumables, spare parts.

o   7) Reporting: define required deliverables (findings, photos, corrective actions, sign-off).

Conbit can assist: We provide pre-visit coordination, checklists, and on-site execution, integrating with port HSE and client workflows to keep operations moving.

Temporary lifting systems (if needed): When a quay crane is constrained, Conbit can deploy modular lifting systems or rental knuckle boom cranes for auxiliary lifts and tooling handling.
