New Equipment Design
Our engineering department specializes in the design, fabrication, and commissioning of new lifting equipment that is robust, high-performance, and suited to the most demanding heavy-industry environments. We take into account operational requirements, site-specific constraints, and applicable standards.
Supported by an integrated team of engineers, automation specialists, and mechanical and electrical technicians, our expertise spans the entire life cycle of lifting equipment. From initial needs analysis to final installation, including detailed engineering and fabrication, each project is executed with a rigorous focus on safety, reliability, and long-term durability.
Modernizations
GIVE YOUR EQUIPMENT A SECOND LIFE
When your equipment no longer meets your production requirements or current industry standards, modernizing your overhead crane is often a more cost effective alternative to a complete replacement.
Fives Services provides overhead crane modernization solutions, including:
Control system upgrades
Variable frequency drive (VFD) installation
Safety system enhancements
Electrical component replacement
Automation of selected functions
Capacity upgrades, where feasible
Our modernization solutions improve the performance, reliability, and safety of your equipment while extending its service life.
Engineering Studies
Many pieces of equipment that have been in service for decades remain fully operational, yet require a thorough assessment to confirm their remaining service life and compliance with current requirements. Through on-site inspections and the use of specialized tools and software, our team conducts comprehensive engineering studies to support informed decision-making.
These studies may include:
structural analysis,
fatigue and wear assessment,
verification of compliance with applicable codes and standards,
recommendations for repair, modernization, or replacement.
The objective of engineering studies is to optimize investments by identifying equipment that can continue to operate safely for many years, while planning the necessary interventions at the right time.
