HrvatskiThe quay crane at the Port of Rijeka, a key component for handling cargo in one of Croatia’s most important ports, requires regular maintenance to ensure maximum efficiency and safety. Hydraulics are the heart of any large crane, enabling precise lifting, lowering, and movement of loads weighing several dozen tons.
Regular maintenance of hydraulic systems includes:
- Inspection and replacement of hydraulic oil – Over time, oil loses its properties, potentially reducing performance and increasing wear on components.
- Checking and replacing seals and hoses – The hydraulic system must remain completely sealed to prevent leaks and maintain consistent pressure.
- Inspection of cylinders and pumps – Mechanical parts are subjected to high loads, making timely replacements essential to prevent breakdowns.
- Pressure system testing – Simulating real operating conditions ensures that all components function at optimal capacity.
Expert teams at the Port of Rijeka use advanced technology and genuine parts for maintenance to ensure the durability and reliability of the cranes, which are essential for the fast and safe flow of goods through the port. Timely maintenance not only extends the equipment’s lifespan but also minimizes the risk of unplanned downtime that could impact the port’s productivity.
