Rotamec raises repair capabilities with new 10-tonne capacity crane
Rotamec has added a new AG Crane that can span and traverse its entire Cheddar
Branch workshop .
The addition of a new crane with a 10-tonne lifting capacity has greatly boosted repair capabilities at Rotamec ’ s Cheddar Branch workshop . Part of an ongoing reinvestment in its repair facilities for motors , generators , pumps , gearboxes and power transmission equipment - Rotamec now has the capacity to lift and service larger units typically utilised in water , recycling and power generation applications .
A 24 / 7 electromechanical service provider for rotating equipment , Rotamec ’ s capabilities are supported by its repair facilities located throughout the UK . These allow the business to deliver high quality rewinds , machined components , remanufactured units and refurbishments on reduced lead times . To bolster this existing capability , Rotamec has added a new AG Crane that can span and traverse its entire Cheddar Branch workshop .
This new crane essentially doubles our on-site lifting capacity .
Simon Brooks , Managing Director at Rotamec , commented on the new crane : “ We are always looking to expand our service capabilities , of which our in-house repair facilities are a vitally important part . Our customers include key players in the water sector and utilities , so we wanted to expand our workshop capacity to allow for the repair of larger motors , generators , gearboxes and pumps that are common in these critical applications . This new crane essentially doubles our on-site lifting capacity .”
The new 10-tonne capacity crane joins a 3-tonne rated crane located in the winding shop and a 1.5-tonne crane installed in the pump test facility at the Cheddar Branch . This combined lifting capacity constitutes one of the largest in the South West allocated for electromechanical repair work . Furthermore , Rotamec operates branches in Exeter and South Wales – totalling over 28,000 sq . ft of floorspace – which also provide additional repair support .
“ With the new crane now operational , we are able to deliver our market-leading maintenance services for larger projects ,” Simon enthuses . “ We can combine fast reactions with an increased workshop capability to further reduce downtime for our customers requiring scheduled or emergency repairs of critical equipment .”
