Your crane is the backbone of your operation. Just like any heavy machinery, regular servicing is vital to ensure safety, performance, and long-term reliability.
At Redline Cranes, we specialise in crane servicing across Perth, helping businesses reduce downtime and avoid costly mechanical issues.

1. Unusual Noises, Vibrations or Auto-Greaser Issues
If you hear clunking, grinding, boom shudder or feel more vibration from winches or components than usual, it usually means something’s worn or damaged.
For Franna cranes, running auto greasers dry or leaking grease lines are common issues. If ignored, they can cause major mechanical failures and expensive bearing collapse. Get them sorted early.
2. Hydraulic Leaks or Fluctuating Pressure
Leaking fluid or inconsistent pressure often indicates cracked hoses, leaking fittings, worn seals, or faulty valves. These issues reduce performance and can pose a safety risk, especially when winch brakes rely on precise pressure. We carry out full hydraulic system checks and fix any faults before they get worse.
3. Jerky or Delayed Movements
If your crane hesitates, surges, or moves erratically, there could be issues with the electrical system, powertrain, LMI computer, hydraulics, or controls. We’ll find the fault quickly and get your crane operating smoothly again.
4. Visible Wear or Structural Damage
Keep an eye out for:
- Rust or corrosion
- Cracks in welds
- Frayed cables
- Dented, bent, or worn boom sections
- Damaged or missing safety decals
Most of these signs mean your crane is under stress and could fail. We offer full inspections to catch issues early and carry out any necessary repairs.
5. Missed or Overdue Servicing
If your crane hasn’t been serviced in a while, even if it seems fine, there could be hidden problems. We offer custom servicing plans that meet Australian standards and keep your gear running reliably.
