General maintenance
To ensure the safety on the road, the tyres and rims need to be checked daily for pressure
(see
), wear and damage such as tears, bulges or sidewall damage.
This should be done for both the outside and the inside of the wheels.
Turn the steering wheel completely to the left or right to obtain a better view.
In case of doubt, please contact Spierings Mobile Cranes.
Spierings Mobile Cranes recommends to write down the tyre pressure for each tyre at every check to
monitor the progress of the tyre pressure in a certain period of time.
If the same tyre loses pressure every time, then this is an important signal in order to preventively
replace this tyre.
After a long drive in which a lot of “fast speed” is driven or a lot is braked, the crane should be driven at
a lower speed for some time. This allows the wind to gradually dissipate the accumulated heat in the
brake drums.
The cranes will be delivered with one of the following tyre brands: Goodyear, Michelin or Windpower.
For more information from the manufacturer, see
Annex 5
