Our repair process is meticulous and ensures that every piece of equipment we handle is restored to its optimal condition:
Air hoists are stripped down to their individual components. Each part undergoes a thorough inspection to identify damage, wear, or deformation.
Functional components such as gears, shafts, and bearings are cleaned, repaired, or replaced to restore their performance. Damaged or worn parts, including seals and mechanical components, are replaced with OEM-certified replacements to ensure reliability and safety.
Structural components are shot-blasted to remove old paint, rust, and contaminants. They are then repainted with durable coatings designed to resist corrosion and endure the toughest environments.
The unit is carefully reassembled, with fasteners torque-checked to specification. Function tests are carried out to confirm operational integrity.
Once refurbished, the equipment is inspected by a trained engineer and issued a certificate of thorough examination. The unit is securely packaged to ensure safe transit.
