ABSTRACT

         In construction industry, maintenance costs accounts for 10-15% of the production cost. Maintenance   affects the targets, quality and profitability of the plant.

 Mobile crane maintenance is one of important factor enhancing the productivity in construction plant.   Mobile crane breakdown is responsible for high down time lost. To avoid unwanted down time maintenance programs should be capable to minimize breakdown.

             After analysis of existing maintenance procedure & maintenance cost of Hydraulic Mobile crane at different running hours it was found that some critical items of Mobile crane were failed before its life cycle. After failure analysis of some critical items of hydraulic mobile crane it was found that the failure of components takes place only due to lack of knowledge of maintenance procedure to the operator. Because operator play key role to maintain machine safe, reliable at minimum maintenance cost. This can only possible when the operator having full knowledge about safe operation, repair & maintenance procedure.
