Our Engineering Manager advises on stocking replacement parts and safe storage of the wire rope lifting assembly.
Personnel transfer is a safety-critical part of your operations. Holding a stock of recommended replacement parts will help ensure your crew transfer carrier is maintained according to Inspection & Maintenance guidelines and ready for use whenever you need it.
– Paul Onions, Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT PARTS STOCKING:
It is advisable to hold an inventory of frequently replaced parts for your personnel transfer carrier. This will help to ensure the continued safe operation of the carrier. Minimum stock quantities will be influenced by:
- Remoteness of location and local certification requirements
- Downtime implications
- Criticality of maintaining crew and emergency response access (MedEvac)
- Unit usage frequency
- Customs processing time
- Delivery cost and time
- We can advise you on stock items and quantities required for your operation. Speak to our team to find out more (contact details below).
It is recommended that only genuine OEM parts (including lifting assemblies) are used; in doing so you ensure the integrity of your unit.
Did you know that Reflex Marine created a number of Replacement Parts Kits for routine and non-routine maintenance?
Ordering an appropriate kit is more economical than replacing individual parts.
