What Gujarat plants usually need
- Statutory compliance: the competent person's examination and Form 10 for lifting machines under the Gujarat Factories rules.
- Shutdown planning: many plants run continuously, so work is done in short windows.
- Mixed fleets: one plant may have cranes from several makers, so a supplier must service any make.
- Heat, dust and corrosion: these shorten the life of brakes, ropes and electrical gear.
What to ask your supplier
- What does the AMC cover? Visits per year, checks, breakdown support, spares, reports. Insist on a written scope.
- Who attends? Engineers who know your crane, not whoever is free.
- What reports do you receive? After each visit, with findings and recommendations.
- How are statutory forms handled? Load tests at 100% and 125% of SWL and Form 10 in Gujarat should be arranged and filed.
- Are spares planned? A good supplier tells you which parts are wearing before they fail.
- Can they handle any make? Ask for examples.
- Do they have a response arrangement for breakdowns? We offer 24x7 on-call and respond promptly; we do not quote a fixed response time.
- Can they upgrade, not just repair? Controls, drives and brakes are often the weak point on older cranes.
How we work
We start with a health check for each crane, then write an AMC scope for your plant: visits, spares, reports and the cranes covered. Load tests and statutory forms are handled in the same calendar. See AMC and maintenance and Load test and Form 10.
