Engineering

Sometimes a standard lifting or hoisting installation does not adequately meet the stated purpose of the application. In those cases, our engineers help think of a custom solution. Kis Kraanbouw has its own engineering department, consisting of mechanical and electrical engineers. They develop and program components for the control and operation of the crane installation.

Our mechanical engineers devise, design, analyse and improve crane installations. They have a background in mechanical engineering, apply the latest techniques and are engaged in:

• Making sketches, drawings and designs in Inventor
• Fatigue calculations
• Calculate the FEM class & metal fatigue
• Mapping and recording risk inventory
• Achieving process improvement and efficiency with the design
• Increase the added value of the hoisting installation
• Advising on components that contribute to a process
• Create comprehensive user instructions, regulations and maintenance schedules
• Ensure the safety of the installation in accordance with the latest standards

The risk inventory is drawn up together with clients. We know what the risks of the technical installation are, but we only get a complete picture if we also include the intended use of the installation.

Our electro-engineers design, install, manage and improve the electro-technical side of installations. They are trained in Electrical Engineering or Electrial Engineering, are fully aware of innovative software development and programming in the TIA Portal for:

• Application of fail safe technology
• Integration of PLC control
• Possibilities around data logging and monitoring
• Correlations between data and output
• Execution of (preventive) maintenance on installations
• Process improvement and efficiency thanks to programming
• Installation and adaptation of (new) operating systems
• Connection of the PLC with internal systems
• Advising clients on electrotechnical issues

In recent years, Kis Crane Construction has focused on innovative software development. In this, we have taken on many projects, such as for example at Scania. Automated installations are built in our own workshop. This allows the engineers to pre-program and extensively test. The result is that we immediately deliver the installation ready for use and place it on site.

What we stand for

• Targeted advice for specific lifting issues
• Tailor-made design by our experienced engineers
• Brand-independent effect without contractual obligations
• Safety first with machine guidelines (NEN), ISO 9001 and EN 1090 Welding
