en.Wedoany.com Reported - Karun, the Manitowoc EnCore authorized refurbishment factory located in Ankara, has successfully completed the refurbishment of a 100-ton Grove GMK4100 all-terrain crane for the steel manufacturing company İÇDAŞ. As a key service partner of Manitowoc in Turkey, Karun restored this aging equipment, which had been in service for many years, to good operational condition through professional engineering methods.
The repair project for this all-terrain crane involved multiple areas including mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and structural systems. The technical team fully replaced the cable harnesses and all hydraulic and pneumatic hoses, and performed a deep disassembly of the boom. While cylinders were either replaced or resealed, all worn components were properly addressed, and the boom pins and locking systems underwent rigorous inspection and updates. To further enhance the equipment's operational capabilities, the crane was equipped with a new slewing bearing and an upper cab, and some large critical components were rebuilt. After a complete repaint, the entire machine was affixed with a TÜV certification mark, ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards.
Regarding the project, Cihan Bektaş, Karun's After-Sales Manager, stated: "This GMK4100 has been a reliable and capable asset for İÇDAŞ for over 17 years. Through the EnCore program, we have given this crane a second life, ensuring it continues to deliver efficient and reliable performance."
Nate Pears, Manitowoc EnCore Director, said: "We are very proud to see our all-terrain crane restored through EnCore to the standards it was originally designed to achieve. Projects like this highlight the value of combining factory expertise with the capabilities of trusted local partners like Karun."
With the successful delivery of this project, Karun plans to expand its refurbishment services to more models, including rough-terrain cranes and crawler cranes.
