Get more with EnCORE: five reasons to remanufacture your crane

Better performance, extended life, lower costs, and more. Discover the many benefits of Manitowoc’s EnCORE remanufacturing program.



Astrid Hager-Guthrie, parts marketing manager for Grove Europe, explains how the EnCORE program can extend the life of your Grove GMK by using high-value, remanufactured parts including engines, transmissions, gearboxes, and hydraulic cylinders, all backed by a one-year warranty.


Manitowoc’s cranes are designed to withstand the test of time, delivering durability and reliable performance for decades. However, even the highest-quality cranes will eventually need repairs, new parts, or a complete rebuild. This is where the Company’s industry-leading EnCORE program comes in, offering premier rebuilding and remanufacturing services for individual components or entire cranes to enhance longevity, boost productivity, and increase profitability.

 

EnCORE delivers comprehensive support across all Manitowoc brands. Each rebuild is handled by skilled in-house specialists and EnCORE Certified Partners at sites worldwide, ensuring your crane meets the highest standards of excellence to maximize the return on your investment.

 

The EnCORE team recently showcased their remarkable capabilities by refurbishing a Potain MD 610 tower crane, transforming it to a like-new MD 560 B model at Manitowoc’s factory in Charlieu, France. Additionally, EnCORE restored an iconic Manitowoc 4600 lattice-boom crawler crane, now actively involved in constructing a nuclear reactor at a power complex in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Here are five good reasons to engage Manitowoc’s EnCORE program for your crane:



1. Cost efficiency

 

Manitowoc’s EnCORE program offers cost-effective, long-term solutions to rebuild your crane at a fraction of the cost of buying a new one. Improved performance and better productivity are made easy, all at costs considerably below that of a new purchase. Additionally, Manitowoc Finance offers flexible payment options and competitive rates to fund EnCORE projects.



2. Improved performance

 

By returning your equipment to like-new condition with new Manitowoc-approved parts and components, you can restore its original performance levels and substantially increase the crane’s working life. The EnCORE program offers a wide range of repairs and replacements for hydraulic cylinders, crane structures, motors, gearboxes, and hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical systems.



3. Extended life

 

Maximize the value of your original investment by prolonging the time before you need to replace it. Whether your crane needs repair due to an accident or an end-of-service-life rebuild, the EnCORE program offers viable and money-saving alternatives to purchasing a new crane. Additionally, each EnCORE rebuild comes with a one-year warranty, providing ample protection and peace of mind.



4. Superior quality

 

All work is completed by trained EnCORE professionals using specialized equipment and adhering to OEM quality standards. Your rebuilt machine undergoes a complete evaluation with a comprehensive Manitowoc inspection form, detailed report, and photos. Next, the crane is fully tested for functionality and load capacity, with all results thoroughly documented. Finally, a new serial number gives your rebuilt machine a brand-new identity!
