Spare parts

If you are operating an old Ganz floating crane you may be interested in our special service provided for these floating cranes: We can deliver a number of spare parts you may need during maintenance or repair tasks. In some cases more or less modification is necessary when you are installing new components on your old crane. We can also assist you in these situations.
Usually we deliver complete gearboxes and overload protection devices for the cranes, but please contact us, in case you need other spare parts. In case of electrical parts, as the industry develops, it is hard to purchase parts for old, outdated systems.
