Keeping Manitowoc Cranes Working When It Matters Most

When a Manitowoc crane developed an issue with the 3rd drum motor boost, our technician tracked the problem to a faulty solenoid valve.

After replacing the solenoid valve and verifying proper operation, the crane was back to performing as it should—minimizing downtime and keeping the job moving safely.

At Willis Crane Works, we specialize in diagnosing hydraulic and electrical issues on all makes and models of cranes. Whether it's troubleshooting a fault code, replacing critical components, or performing preventative maintenance, our experienced technicians are ready to help.

🌎 No Matter Where the Job Is, We'll Be There.

Not every service call is close to home. This one took Kevin all the way to St. Croix for 6 days to get an older Simon RO crane back in working order.

The job involved replacing the boom cables so the boom could safely extend and retract. Working on older equipment isn't always easy—especially when replacement parts are hard to find and being in an area where parts are scarce—but that's the kind of challenge our technicians are built for.

Of course, every trip has its memorable moments. Between the beautiful views and the friendly chicken that showed up at Kevin's hotel every evening, St. Croix definitely left an impression!

At Willis Crane Works, we're committed to keeping your equipment operating safely and reliably—whether you're down the road or across the country.

Not every service call is a major repair—sometimes it's about tracking down the small issues before they become big problems.

Our technician was onsite troubleshooting this Komatsu excavator with a seat compressor malfunction and low water system issues. Through systematic diagnostics, we identified the root causes, completed the necessary repairs, and verified everything was operating as it should before putting the machine back to work.

Whether it's electrical diagnostics, hydraulic systems, cooling issues, or operator comfort, our mobile service team is ready to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently.

⚡ **TADANO MANTIS CRANE**HYDRAULIC & ECM DIAGNOSTICS**

⚡ Sometimes the problem isn't what you can see—it's what the machine isn't telling you.

We recently diagnosed and repaired an issue on a Tadano Mantis crawler crane where the high-pressure hydraulic pump was not sending the proper signal to the ECM. Without that communication, machine performance and operation can be affected.

After troubleshooting the hydraulic and electrical systems, we identified the issue and helped get this crane back to reliable operation for our customer.

The right diagnosis can save time, money, and unnecessary parts replacement.
