Maintaining robust performance and reliability in various industrial environments is crucial, especially when handling heavy loads. The Heila HLM20-3S Foldable Knuckle Boom Crane, manufactured by Brimmond, offers a compact yet durable solution for diverse applications such as ROV launch and recovery, general cargo handling, and material transport with a clamshell bucket. With a lifting capacity of up to 1700kg at a 10.56m radius, this crane can be extended using three hydraulic sections, making it versatile enough to meet the demands of multiple industries. The rack & pinion slewing mechanism allows for limited rotation of 400°, ensuring precise positioning. For additional support and specialized projects, Brimmond offers a range of complementary equipment and bespoke design solutions.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Hydraulic hose or fitting leaks at the telescopic boom sections
  • Wire rope wear - broken wires, corrosion or kinking on the hoist
  • Hook safety latch damage or seizure
  • Slew bearing or slew gear wear causing play or backlash
  • Load moment/overload protection sensor drift or miscalibration
  • Boom section wear pads or sliding surfaces wearing unevenly, causing binding during extension
  • Structural cracking at high-stress points such as the boom root or pivot pins from cyclic loading
  • Hydraulic cylinder seal leakage causing boom drift under load

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of boom, jib and structural welds for cracks or deformation
  • Inspect wire rope for broken wires, corrosion, and correct spooling on the drum
  • Check hook, hook latch and any load block for wear or deformation
  • Function test all motions (luff, slew, telescope, hoist) through full range under no load
  • Verify overload/load moment indicator alarm and cut-out function at test load
  • Check hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for leaks or chafing
  • Inspect slew bearing bolts for correct torque and check for play
  • Confirm pivot pins and bushings for wear where accessible
  • Test emergency stop and manual lowering/descent control
  • Verify the current load test/proof load certificate is valid and the load chart is displayed at the crane

Service intervals

Function and visual inspection by a competent personevery 12 months, per class/flag lifting appliance requirement
Wire rope inspectionevery 3-6 months, plus before use if the crane is used infrequently
Proof/load testtypically every 4-5 years, or per class requirement, and after any major repair
Hydraulic oil analysis/changeper the maker's schedule, typically every 12 months or condition-based
Slew bearing bolt torque checkevery 12 months

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Wire rope discard criteriagenerally per ISO 4309 broken-wire and diameter-reduction criteria for the specific rope construction fitted - confirm against the maker's and class's guidance rather than a single number
Hook wear/deformationcommonly discarded when throat opening or section wear exceeds the maker's and class's specific limit for the hook size - do not rely on a generic percentage

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Wire rope of correct diameter, construction and length
  • Hook block with latch
  • Hydraulic hose assemblies for boom, luff and telescope circuits
  • Hydraulic cylinder seal kits
  • Load moment indicator sensor/load cell

Safety

  • Overload beyond the rated capacity curve (4,100 kg at 4.79 m reducing to 1,700 kg at 10.56 m) risks structural failure or tip-over - work strictly within the load chart
  • Falling load risk from worn wire rope, hook latch failure or hydraulic drift
  • Crush/pinch hazards during telescope and slew operation near personnel
  • Hydraulic system stored energy - depressurize and mechanically support the boom before working on cylinders or hoses

Class survey

Cargo/deck cranes are lifting appliances under class rules and typically require an annual thorough examination by a competent person, a periodic proof/load test (commonly every 4-5 years), and a valid load test certificate displayed with the crane; documented wire rope inspection history is a common survey focus.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
