Conversion Outdoor Taps Voton

Adjusting crane drives outside cranes Voton B.V.

In order to be able to work safely in strong gusts of wind, Voton asked us to fit the outside cranes with extra drives. The 3 outdoor cranes of Voton were equipped with 4 drives for crane driving. After the adjustment, all 3 cranes will have 8 drives for crane driving.

 In the last week of 2021 and the first week of 2022, EPMC Europe Crane Solutions was allowed to deliver and assemble the new motors with reduction and the corresponding adapted wheels. To ensure that the deadline was met, some preliminary work was already done in the evening hours of the previous weeks.

We start week 31, one by one the wheel housings of the cranes are jacked up and the wheels are changed. Then the motors with reduction are pushed into place. The second shift now follows for connecting the motors and adjusting the control boxes.

Finally, the rain caps are placed. After some more adjustments, the first crane was able to drive at the beginning of week 1 - 2022. And the job was finished before the end of the week.

The job was completed and delivered to the satisfaction of both parties.
