A FORCE THAT GRABS AND NO LONGER LETS GO

A FORCE THAT GRABS AND NO LONGER LETS GO

‍

Company ITECO, the market leader in crane and hoisting equipment, is a long-standing supplier in the field of handling, with professional technicians and top-notch service. Our team of fifty people is ready to take care of your handling. The current priority is the sale of ABUS standard cranes on the territory of the Czech and Slovak Republics.

‍

The long-standing partnership between ITECO and ABUS is built on mutual precise support, technical and commercial trust of both parties. Many Czech companies have already become familiar with the quality of ABUS handling equipment products, and since they return to us repeatedly, this can be considered proof of reliability and quality.

‍

‍

The quality of the handling equipment is guaranteed by the high expertise of the technicians

‍

Today's market is so demanding that it cannot be “drunk” with false promises. For our products, trained specialists are available to you in the sales department who know the production program very well and are able to translate your requirements into a comprehensive offer containing delivery, assembly and integration of technology into the construction. After all input parameters have been agreed by the investor, they pass the order to the project implementation team

managers who then take care of the entire investment process up to the commissioning of the crane at the site of operation.

‍

We have a team of very experienced engineers with many years of experience in the field of lifting technology.

We deal with special applications only with customers with whom we have established many years of cooperation. As one of them we can mention the Finnish firm Galvatek. With the use of ABUS components (or other reputable manufacturers), we are able to build custom applications beyond the usual standards. An example is the magnetic cranes at EGE, where standard ABUS production is combined with custom applications.

Showroom — KranHaus

‍

Since 2016, a modern demonstration center has been available to our customers — KranHaus. A 1,600 m² show-room has been built at the headquarters of ABUS. This is a complete, completely real look into the complete ABUS production program, as well as an exciting spectacle of live hands-on demonstrations. In addition to the fact that it is a unique architectural structure, Kranhaus offers customers and technicians the exact forms of our equipment for demonstration and training purposes.

‍

Wide production program

‍

We would briefly mention ABUS products. These are mainly single girder (ELV, ELK, ELS) and double girder (ZLK) cranes up to a maximum load capacity of 120 t. We also offer DLVM and EDL overhead cranes. Then alternative, more specialized applications of EWL cantilever mobile cranes and EHPK semi-gantry cranes. In particular, the last two types are suitable for two-level craning of the hall.

‍

Another of our products are suspended HB systems ABUS. Modular solutions for light handling (up to 2,000 kg) are suitable for direct suspension on the trusses of the hall. It is always necessary to coordinate the crane technician and the construction designer in order to calculate the appropriate load at the installation destination. The possibilities of HB systems are many and their comprehensive program can be found on our website. Another important and sought-after product are columnar rotary cranes and wall-mounted rotary cranes. These are supplied again in many configurations with load capacities up to 6.3 t. The complete program is again available at www.iteco.cz.

‍

As an additional program, we sell lightweight gantry LPK cranes with a load capacity of up to 2 tons, hoists — chain and rope, ABUS components — such as travel blocks, radio remote controls, overhead lines and the like.

‍

Modernization and reconstruction

‍

An integral part of our services are upgrades and various “retrofits” according to customer requirements for already operated ABUS cranes. The basis of a serious approach is to be able to say no — “no, we really don't know this”. It's much more professional than selling technology at all costs and causing irretrievable problems. The most common tasks include replenishing crane cats, increasing load capacities, changing spans and then repositioning, replenishing scales, replenishing radio remote controls, resolving collision situations with other machines, etc. It must be said that these are by type the most demanding tasks. The product specialist is dedicated exclusively to this work and, together with the manufacturer, assesses individual cases. It is not enough to end at the crane, but it is also necessary to assess the dimensions of related elements such as trolley lines, crane tracks, etc. In case of expired life of the lifting units, we will take care of their overhaul or replacement.

‍

‍

Development, production

‍

At this point, it must be said quite unequivocally that our production facilities are at the plant in Gummersbach, Germany. In 2011, ABUS expanded production in a newly built 15,000 m² hall. Capacity options are at the level of 5,000 pcs of bridge cranes per year. Similar capacities are prepared for other products.

‍

Service 24 hours a day

‍

For years, our service team has been performing all services to the satisfaction of our customers in the field of service, preventive programs and services in the form of inspections, revisions, inspections up to comprehensive service contracts, or in the form of “first aid” in the case of sudden defects that make it impossible for our customers to fulfill their production duties. By quickly intervening, we try to eliminate the losses caused by discontinued production, while at the same time we conduct awareness and urge the need for preventive care of all lifting equipment. In this regard, we find that there are still significant gaps in Czech operations. It is like with human health: if an already neglected disease is treated late, it is always more costly, longer and more expensive, if the consequences are no longer completely fatal. Thus, prevention is an essential prerequisite for reliable operation and life for both cases.

‍

Our service service is active 24 hours a day on the phone +420 728 258 689 or email: servis@iteco.cz, including Saturdays and Sundays. There is always one of our service technicians on standby ready for an unplanned intervention. Service cars are mainly equipped with quick-wear spare parts. Another part of the parts is in our Brno warehouse, and in case of extraordinary needs, the parts can be delivered in an accelerated manner directly from the ABUS manufacturer in Germany. Here, logically, everything is in large stock reserves - the whole range of spare components. Thanks to the experience and knowledge of our engineers, the fault can be identified in part already during a telephone call, so we try to arrive ready to fix the fault. Thus, we reduce the time and costs between the diagnosis of the defect and the next exit with the necessary material.

‍

Over 25 years of operation, we have 6,027 of our cranes in operation with our customers. This number suggests that there is really nothing to worry about.

‍

‍

Our other standard services: inspection, training, work safety

‍

In addition to service interventions, of course, we also take care of other periodic duties, such as: inspections, mechanical and electrical inspections, inspection examinations and the like. Among other more sophisticated services, we provide for example a special assessment of ABUS serial hoists after 10 years and a special assessment of ABUS cranes after 20 years in accordance with CSN ISO 12482-1. In unpleasant situations that we do not wish on anyone, we are able to carry out emergency inspections after an emergency with a proposal to resolve the situation. We do everything to the satisfaction of the operators, although it is a really big commitment after 25 years.
