Our Services
For over 60 years, Cerrato has been offering complete services to ensure the efficiency and safety of your industrial lifting systems.
Revamping and Machine Upgrade
Modernization and upgrade of existing systems to new safety regulations.
Overhead crane revamping allows renewing and enhancing an existing system without replacing it.
We update electrical, mechanical, and control components to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability, reducing costs and downtime.
What We Do
- Replacement of worn components
- Installation of inverters and new control systems
- Overhaul of motors, brakes, and gearboxes
- Integration of safety devices (anti-collision, load limiters, CE protections)
- Verification of the supporting structure and residual life calculation
All interventions are performed according to current EN and IEC standards, with complete technical documentation.
Benefits of Revamping
- Greater safety and regulatory compliance
- Lower energy consumption thanks to more efficient components
- More productivity and precision in movements
- Extension of the overhead crane's useful life
A smart investment to give new life to your system.
Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance programs to ensure maximum efficiency and durability of your systems.
Preventive maintenance of overhead cranes is the most effective way to avoid machine downtime, reduce repair costs, and increase the safety of lifting systems.
With scheduled periodic checks, we keep every component in perfect efficiency, anticipating problems before they become failures.
What Preventive Maintenance Includes
- Scheduled periodic inspections of mechanical, electrical, and structural parts
- Lubrication and adjustment of trolleys, ropes, gearboxes, and brakes
- Verification of safety devices and load limits
- Control of electrical panel and control systems (push-button panels, radio controls, inverters)
- Detailed technical report with verification outcome and intervention recommendations
Each maintenance is carried out by qualified technicians, in full compliance with UNI ISO 9927-1:2016 and UNI EN 15011:2021 standards.
Benefits of Preventive Maintenance
- Reduction of failures and downtime
- Greater safety for operators and plant
- Extension of the overhead crane's useful life
- Optimization of management costs
- Compliance with safety regulations and periodic inspections
Scheduled maintenance is an investment that pays for itself: fewer emergencies, more productivity.
Tailor-made Programs
We offer customized maintenance plans (quarterly, semi-annual, annual) with deadlines and checks adapted to the type of system and actual usage.
Every visit is recorded and documented to ensure traceability and total transparency.
Life Cycles/Residual Life
Analysis of system useful life and residual life assessment for intervention planning.
With over sixty years of experience in the construction and maintenance of lifting equipment, we offer a complete service for the evaluation of the life cycle and residual life of overhead cranes.
The activity is performed in compliance with UNI EN ISO 9001:2015+A1:2024 standards, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and D.Lgs. 81/2008, ensuring reliable results and technical documentation compliant with current directives.
In-depth analysis of system status
We perform a complete structural and functional evaluation of the overhead crane, analyzing:
- General condition of the equipment
- Mechanical and electrical components
- Carpentry and support structures
- Wear conditions and residual life of main parts
Each investigation aims to establish if the system can continue to operate safely or requires overhaul or revamping interventions.
Supplementary tests and special checks
We have state-of-the-art instrumentation to perform advanced verification tests, including:
- Material hardness tests
- Thickness measurements of sheets, pipes, and paint
- Checks on wheels, drums, and motors
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) for critical component integrity assessment
NDT checks are performed by certified personnel (UNI EN ISO 9712:2022) with the following methods:
- Liquid penetrant
- Magnetic particle
- Ultrasonic flaw detection
- Visual examination (VT)
Restoration interventions and certified welding
Where necessary, our facility can perform restoration interventions with certified welders according to UNI EN ISO 9606-1:2017 – AWS D1.1/D1.1M (2020) standards.
All interventions are documented and tracked to ensure maximum reliability and service continuity.
Competence, Safety, Quality
Thanks to constant technical updating of staff, we guarantee analysis and evaluation service compliant with the highest safety, quality, and reliability standards.
Our goal is to ensure that every lifting system operates in full compliance with regulations, reducing risks and optimizing productivity over time.
Mechanical Machining and Spare Parts Supply
