PORT CRANE SERVICE / STARKON
Crane trolley vibration analysis
Vibration during trolley travel can be a sign of a rail transition, wheel or support problem. STARKON investigates crane vibration and operator-reported movement to help identify where corrective work will have the greatest effect.
SCOPE OF WORK
Prepared around
your crane.
- Review of the operating conditions and reported vibration
- Measurement positions agreed for the crane and operator environment
- Assessment alongside rail and wheel geometry
- Findings translated into a practical maintenance scope
The crane condition, engineering requirements and available access determine the final scope. We coordinate preparation and site work with your maintenance team.
FIND THE CAUSE
Measure the movement.
Understand the source.
We discuss when the vibration occurs and how it changes with trolley position, speed and load. Depending on the question, the measurement plan can focus on crane behaviour or operator exposure, including whole-body or hand-arm vibration.
Measurement locations, operating conditions and the assessment method are agreed before testing. Results are considered together with rail joints, wheel geometry and the supporting structure. This helps distinguish a local impact from a wider alignment or support issue.
The output is a documented assessment and a proposed next step: targeted inspection, adjustment, engineering or repair.
COMPONENTS & FIELD EXPERIENCE
Parts and service.
Working together.
Replacement components can be coordinated with inspection, workshop preparation and installation.
Understand the problem
Vibration that changes with trolley position, speed or load can help locate the source of a travel problem. Rail transitions, wheel geometry and supporting structures are considered alongside the reported movement.
Prepare the workshop scope
STARKON agrees the operating conditions, measurement positions and assessment method before testing. Available maintenance history and photographs help focus the inspection. The measurement scope depends on whether the question concerns crane behaviour or the operator environment.
Plan the on-site work
Findings are translated into a practical next step: targeted inspection, adjustment, engineering or repair. Connecting the operating symptoms to the rail and wheel condition helps the maintenance team define the next work scope.
