A crane that stops in the middle of a shift stops the whole bay. R K Engineering Works gives planned crane AMC in Jaipur and across Rajasthan for EOT cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes and electric wire rope hoists. Our engineers follow a fixed check plan, keep written records for every visit, and help your plant stay ready for the yearly statutory inspection. We have built and serviced cranes since 1998 from our works in VKI Area, Jaipur.

Why a planned AMC, not “call when it breaks”
- Less unplanned downtime – parts are changed on plan, in a shutdown window you choose.
- Safer lifting – brakes, limit switches, hooks and ropes checked on a fixed cycle.
- Audit-ready records – every visit has a signed checklist, findings and actions.
- Longer crane life – correct lubrication and adjustment slow down wear.
- Clear spare-part planning – we tell you in advance which parts will need change in the next 6-12 months.
What we check – our AMC check plan
| Area | What we check | Typical frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Hoist brake | Lining wear, air gap, holding test with load | Monthly |
| Wire rope | Broken wires, wear, kinks, corrosion, lubrication, end fixing (discard as per ISO 4309 guidance) | Monthly |
| Hook and bottom block | Throat opening, wear, safety latch, swivel, sheaves | Monthly |
| Limit switches | Hoist upper/lower, travel end limits, anti-collision | Monthly |
| Electrical panel | Contactors, overload settings, VFD faults, earthing, tightness | Quarterly |
| Gearboxes | Oil level and condition, leaks, noise, breather | Quarterly |
| Wheels and rails | Flange wear, rail alignment, clamps, end stoppers, buffers | Quarterly |
| Pendant / radio remote | Push buttons, emergency stop, battery, range | Monthly |
| Structure | Girder welds, end carriage bolts, walkway and handrail | Half-yearly |
| Full functional test | All motions at rated speed, brake stop, emergency stop | Every visit |
Yearly statutory inspection – we help you get ready
Lifting machines in a factory must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at least once every 12 months, with records kept as per the State Factories Rules. Under our AMC we prepare the crane before the examination, share visit and part-change records, support the load test when asked, and close every point raised with a written closure note. The examination itself must be done by a competent person; RKEW supports and prepares, and does not replace it.
AMC types
| AMC type | What it covers | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Preventive AMC | Scheduled visits, checks, lubrication, adjustment, records | Plants with an in-house repair team |
| Comprehensive AMC | Preventive visits + breakdown attendance + agreed wear parts | Plants that want one point of responsibility |
| Breakdown support | Priority attendance on call | Back-up to your own maintenance team |
| Shutdown overhaul | Planned overhaul of brakes, ropes, wheels, panel | Steel, cement and power plants with fixed shutdowns |
Cranes we maintain
Single and double girder EOT cranes, gantry and goliath cranes, underslung and jib cranes, electric wire rope hoists and chain hoists – made by RKEW or by other makers, after a first condition survey. For older cranes that need a bigger upgrade, see EOT crane modernisation.
Areas: VKI Area, Sitapura, Mansarovar, Bagru, Kaladera, Mahindra World City and RIICO areas around Jaipur, plus Bhiwadi, Neemrana, Alwar, Kota, Ajmer, Bhilwara, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Sikar and Bikaner.
How an AMC starts – 4 steps
- Engineering discussion – you share crane list, capacity, span, age and duty.
- Site survey – our engineer inspects each crane and records its condition.
- AMC plan – crane-wise check plan, visit schedule, response time and parts list.
- First visit and baseline report.
Frequently asked questions
How often should an EOT crane be serviced?
For most plant cranes, a monthly check of brakes, rope, hook and limits plus quarterly checks of panel, gearboxes and wheels works well. Heavy duty cranes (M6 and above), hot or dusty shops and outdoor cranes may need more frequent visits.
Do you give AMC for cranes not made by RKEW?
Yes. We first do a full condition survey. If the crane is safe to run, we start the AMC. If it needs repair or upgrade, we tell you clearly before starting.
