EOT cranes and hoists are a big surprises in Turnarounds. Many are not (or cannot be) operated during the regular plant operation and when required after 5-7years of inoperation.. are discovered just konked off...(broken or siezed).... Best way is to -have an audit and rehearsal of all the hoists..(atleast 6months to 1 years in advance) - greasing & minimum operation (required to keep healthy) -keep all the spares for 1- minimum 2- maximum overhaul
