WHECO was given the challenge to provide repairs to an older Lima boom tip section that was damaged as the result of a two-blocking accident. Since this was an out of production component WHECO provided and engineered repair to restore the boom tip to its original design

This accident-damaged Demag AC180 all-terrain crane was repaired at WHECO’s Aiken, SC, facility. The extensive repairs included frame and superstructure work, complete electrical rework, structural repairs to the hydraulic boom, and repairs to the telescopic cylinder. Repairs completed by WHECO carry a warranty that—in many cases—surpasses commercial standards and/or the original manufacturer’s specifications.  

A small cottage industry has emerged and WHECO has become the go to company for repairing and restoring Manitowoc 4100 base and tip sections. Expensive and long lead time aftermarket replacement sections make the repair and restoration economic sense. Contact WHECO for a proposal to restore your aging boom and crane components.

A dockside accident led to the restoration of an American 9460 conventional truck crane. Ideally suited for the ship loading/unloading application a cost effective service life extension was performed and the crane was put back into service.
