Upon invitation from a potential client, the process of tender begins with a site visit to
establish site layout and the projects needs, as well as to investigate the potential variables
which may influence the complexity and time needed for erection and dismantling.
It is not uncommon for Rapicon to come up with a clever work-around when faced with a challenge,
and such cost-saving work- arounds have given us a competitive edge in the past.
Once having clearly outlined which of our Potain cranes could most cost-effectively, serve the reachability and capacity needs of the project, a tender is submitted.
It is both in our, and the clients best interest, that the erection and dismantling (E&D) process
occurs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Before leaving our workshop for a new jobsite, each crane will have undergone maintenance, preparation and then safety checks and had a non-destructible test (NDT) certificate signed off for it, by a qualified engineer.
The E&D team that arrive onsite to erect, or dismantle a crane, normally do so within a day or two, using
another lifting device.
No one can afford down-time, our mission is to ensure top of the line service, to ensure your equipment is running at its optimal condition and your project is on time and budget.
From basic maintenance, repair for all models, inspection services, engineering services and certification we
are there for all your equipment’s need. We are always on call from coast-to-coast to keep your
equipment running and working for you, this is the commitment we make to our clients.
When problems do occur onsite, our technical supervisor is ready to troubleshoot over the phone
or by remote station with the client; the expertise being such, that 90% of issues are solved this
way saving a lot of potential downtime.
If the problem is ongoing, an experienced Rapicon West technician is dispatched to site, who will then work on the issue until it is resolved. Our qualified personnel are certified and trained to service and maintain the cranes.
