Crane Maintenance Facilities

Emerson Crane Hire

Here at Emerson Cranes, we have a custom-built facility that allows us to maximise the efficiency of our operations. Our maintenance facilities allow us to carry out efficient crane maintenance safety tests and inspections, ensuring that our products are safe to operate and of the highest quality.

Maintenance Workshop

Our modern workshop ensures that our fleet of cranes, HGVs, vans and plant machinery is maintained to the highest standards.

Additionally, we have strict systems in place to minimise environmental impact. Engine and gear oils are pumped directly from large storage tanks into vehicles, preventing contamination. Waste oils are collected in a dedicated tank and safely removed by contractors for recycling.

Custom Brake Tester

In continued support of our vision of being industry leaders in health and safety, we have invested in a heavy-duty bespoke brake tester. As a company, we are always seeking continual improvement. We have installed this testing facility within our crane maintenance workshop to ensure the most effective methods of testing are used.

The new brake tester is the first of its kind to be supplied in the UK, specifically designed for the testing of cranes and commercial trucks. It is able to test up to 20 tons per axle and uses MAHA-patented technology. Not only does the custom brake tester have wireless tablet control for one-operative testing, but it also has a 4-wheel drive testing control with a user-friendly interface.

Tyre Service Bay

At Emerson, we take pride in being as self-sufficient as possible in all aspects of our work. Tyre punctures are a frequent challenge, especially outside of working hours when contacting repair services can be difficult. To address this, we maintain a large stock of tyres and wheels for all our vehicles, ensuring they are ready for immediate use. Additionally, our dedicated mobile tyre repair van, equipped with a built-in compressor, allows us to respond quickly and efficiently whenever you need assistance.

Upon returning to the depot, punctured tyres are immediately removed using our state-of-the-art tyre-changing machine. Once positioned, the machine handles the entire process, eliminating the need for manual labour. The tyre is then repaired, replaced and re-inflated, with its pressure carefully monitored over the following days to ensure there are no further leaks. Once it meets our strict standards, the tyre is returned to stock, ready for future use.

Custom Wash Bay

We have a dedicated steam-cleaning area with a specialised drainage system designed to separate oils and grease from wastewater. These contaminants are then safely disposed of by trusted contractors. Our cranes are regularly degreased and thoroughly cleaned to ensure they meet inspection standards before going out on hire. Additionally, our custom wash bay is used before vehicle servicing and ahead of MOTs for commercial vehicles.
