Tadano\u2019s core values are Safety, Quality, and Efficiency, and the company strives to have the most reliable cranes in market. To help ensure these values and goals are met, Tadano also seeks to provide high level training to clients and their operators.

Recently, Tadano Asia set up 29 days of technical training for Tiong Woon Crane & Transport (Pte), Ltd., a large, loyal customer managing over 540 cranes with capacities ranging up to 2,000t. Among their fleet are many Tadano all terrain, rough terrain, and lattice boom crawler cranes.

Based in Singapore, Tiong Woon is a leading one-stop integrated heavy lift specialist and service provider. For over 40 years they have supported the oil and gas, petrochemical, infrastructure, and construction sectors by managing turnkey projects for EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction contractors and project owners). Tiong Woon covers projects from planning and design 2022 to the execution stage as they transport, lift, and install heavy equipment at customers\u2019 facilities and at project sites. In IC50\u2019s 2021 survey, Tiong Woon ranked 23rd.

Both companies strive to be the best in what they do while consistently improving safety and efficiency. Tiong Woon has long aimed to reduce downtime and enable operators to perform simple inspections and repairs.

Prior to training with Tadano Asia, operators had to request a site visit from the Tiong Woon service team for most problems. Despite the service team\u2019s excellent skills in solving issues – partially due to some receiving previous training with Tadano Demag GmbH (TDG) – they often began with little to no information from the operators. This often resulted in multiple trips that contributed to prolonged downtime.

TDG trainers gave Tiong Woon the opportunity to create a system that would allow operators to communicate more details, such as error codes, so that the Tiong Woon service team could arrive at the site better prepared.

The training was conducted at Tiong Woon\u2019s training facility. Three representatives from the TDG led training courses: Roland Faust, Mario Rutz, and S\u00f6nke Eichhorn. Each instructor possesses anywhere from 25 to 35 years of experience in the crane industry. The 12 attendees from Tiong Woon were operators of all terrain cranes and crawler cranes joined the training.

Mr. Faust began the training in February covering the basics of AC crane models. Instruction covered CAN Bus setup and operation, understanding the electrics and hydraulic superstructure and carrier, interpreting error codes, and handling sensor calibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Rutz hosted four additional days of AC crane model training at the end of March into April, focusing on the AC 350-6 from basic familiarization to the steering and pneumatic systems, the hydraulic superstructure main boom, diagnosis, immobilization, IC-1 menus, and hands-on operations and troubleshooting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Eichhorn covered the CC models over three weeks in April. He began with electrical layouts, drawings, CAN Bus training before progressing to proportional valve technology, a comprehensive look at hydraulic systems from open and closed loops, and extensive troubleshooting. From there, multiple configurations were taught using manuals and assembly drawings. Different rigging and working configurations inside the IC-1 menu were also covered before participants concluded the CC training by assembling an actual CC crane in the SH configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 29 days of training were provided to Tiong Woon operators of AC and CC model cranes. The attendees gained valuable knowledge in crane operations, technical troubleshooting, and maintenance work during that time, gaining a better understanding of what goes underneath the engine and how the basic electrics, hydraulics, and programming work when they are doing lifting work in the project site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
