Crane America Services enters the market with its PDA and its
Maintenance Advantage Program.

Through technology, our skilled and trained inspectors have another tool in its arsenal. CAS has launched its Web based PDA for inspections and routine Preventative Maintenence. Through the PDA’s web based system, information will be readily available to our customers within hours of completion of the inspection and/or Preventative Maintenence. This will allow for our customers to make a more informed decision quickly and more accurately, minimizing the potential for downtime or a catastrophic accident.

Through developed products in real operating environments, Crane America Services is the only company that can offer customers a single solution for all their overhead material handling needs. Our Maintenance Advantage Programs delivers tangible, quantifiable returns on investment. When programs are tailored to each piece of equipment and to the manufacturing process, optimal efficiency can be achieved and measured.

Our North America team is eager to demonstrate this program in your facility/plant or mill, and we look forward to showing how our Maintenance Advantage Program will work for you.
