Maintenance and breakdowns
Maximum uptime for your installations. Minimize downtime with preventive maintenance by EKH-certified specialists. 24/7 breakdown service for cranes and hoists. Brand-independent and available nationwide.
Downtime costs money. Prevention saves it.
Where inspection focuses on checking, maintenance is about preserving. Our service technicians lubricate, adjust, and replace wear parts before they fail. They know your installations inside out and intervene at the right moment—before minor deviations turn into major problems.
This extends the lifespan of your installations and helps prevent unexpected downtime in your production process. Well-maintained systems also ensure higher reliability, optimal performance, and a safe working environment for your employees. With planned maintenance, you stay in control of costs, minimize downtime, and get the maximum return from your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on the intensity of use (operating hours) and the environment (dirt, heat, outdoor conditions). The manufacturer specifies a minimum, but we are happy to advise you on an interval that suits your specific production process.
Maintenance is about preserving the current condition (lubrication, adjustments). Overhaul is restoring the machine to like-new condition, where motors, drives, and wiring are extensively replaced.
Our service vans are mobile warehouses stocked with common parts (fuses, switches, cables). For brand-specific components, we maintain close relationships with suppliers to minimize downtime.
Yes, a well-functioning crane starts with a properly aligned runway. We can measure crane runways and, if necessary, realign them to prevent excessive wear on wheels.
