Bendigo Crane Relocation & Upgrades

At West Crane Services, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier lifting solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability. We are excited to announce the successful completion of a major project at the Bendigo Rail Workshops, where we played a key role in supporting their revamped production operations through crane relocations, upgrades, and state-of-the-art technology integration.
Project Scope: Relocating and Upgrading Overhead Cranes
The project involved the strategic relocation of multiple overhead cranes to accommodate the newly optimized production workflow at the Bendigo Rail Workshops. In addition to the relocations, we conducted major inspections and overhauls to ensure that all cranes met compliance requirements and operated at peak performance.
Key Upgrades and Enhancements
To modernize the cranes and enhance operational safety and efficiency, we implemented several critical upgrades, including:
✅ Installation of New Guralp Electric Wire Rope Hoists
Upgraded hoists were installed to improve lifting performance, reliability, and longevity. These hoists offer enhanced durability, smoother operation, and increased lifting precision, making them an ideal choice for heavy-duty applications. With Guralp Wire Rope Hoists readily available in stock, we were able to complete this installation with a quick turnaround time, minimizing downtime for our client.
✅ Complete Electrical System Upgrades
New electrical components were installed to replace aging systems, improving overall crane functionality and minimizing the risk of downtime.
✅ Integration of Åkerströms Wireless Remote Control Systems
To enhance crane control and operator safety, we equipped the cranes with Åkerströms wireless remote control systems. These state-of-the-art systems provide operators with precise control, allowing for safer and more efficient lifting operations.
✅ Full Crane Synchronization for Dual Lift Capabilities
One of the standout features of this project was the full synchronization of cranes, enabling seamless dual-lift operations. This advanced feature allows operators to lift and move heavy loads in perfect coordination, significantly improving safety and reducing the risk of load imbalance.
Enhancing Efficiency and Operator Safety
The upgrades and relocations at Bendigo Rail Workshops were designed with two primary objectives in mind: enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the highest level of safety for operators. The newly synchronized crane systems, in combination with remote-controlled operation and upgraded hoists, allow for smoother and more controlled lifting, reducing strain on both the equipment and the workforce.
