Crane Servicing & Maintenance

When you need this

You run cranes that earn their keep, and a service overdue is a breakdown waiting to happen. You need a maintenance partner who turns up when they say, works around your schedule instead of parking a machine for a week, and catches the small things before they become the expensive ones. Whether it's a single slew crane or a mixed fleet with staggered service intervals, this is the work that keeps them compliant, reliable and available.

What's included

• Scheduled servicing at manufacturer intervals — 250, 500, 750, 1,000 and 2,000-hour services, oil and filter changes, fluid analysis, brake and hydraulic checks, and a full defect inspection every time.
• Fleet maintenance programs — we track each machine's service due-dates, defect history and utilisation in our maintenance software, and book the work in before it falls overdue.
• Component change-outs — winches, slew drives, gearboxes, cylinders and drive components swapped and commissioned without tying the whole machine up.
• On-site servicing coordinated around crane-availability windows, so the machine keeps working through your prime hours.
• Every service includes our standard KDI defect inspection — the same thorough check that has caught serious faults on machines booked in for "a few minor items".

The KDI process

Assets and brands

Mobile and slew cranes, crawler cranes, pick-and-carry cranes (Franna, Humma, Tidd), vehicle loading cranes, EWPs, telehandlers, trucks and trailers. Brand-agnostic, with manufacturer software and training where it matters — Liebherr Liccon 1 and 2, Palfinger and Humma among them. We're a Palfinger Authorised Service Agent and a Humma service and sales provider.

Why KDI for servicing

Most servicing providers either park your machine for a week or turn up without the parts. We keep an extensive parts inventory on hand so a routine service doesn't stall waiting on a supplier, and we service on site and on afternoon shift so your crane keeps earning. And because we also do the major inspections and rebuilds, we know what a machine looks like across its whole life — the servicing is informed by what actually fails, not a generic checklist.

Proof

In 2025 we completed 513 jobs for 390 customers. We service fleets from single machines to multi-brand operations — for SATAKE Group near Allora we carried out a 2,000-hour service and annual inspection on a 25-tonne slew crane as part of their ongoing program; for an SEQ crane hire company we've handled 1,000-hour fleet servicing and breakdown support across their Sennebogen fleet.
