The painting of Kobelco cranes

In our paint shop we have extensive experience in professionally painting Kobelco cranes. All our painting processes for Kobelco cranes are carried out at our facilities in Emmeloord. Our professionals have the necessary expertise and use the latest technologies to paint Kobelco cranes.

‘We regularly have cranes painted by Gouweleeuw. As a crane manufacturer, we commit to delivering top quality. By using a painter like Gouweleeuw, we can guarantee our top quality and we also opt for certainty. Agreements are strictly fulfilled.

For the painting of the 600-tonne Kobelco SL6000J, it was particularly important for us and for our customer that the entire process would run perfectly, as the crane had to be deployed for projects in the Northern Arctic as quickly as possible. In addition, the machine had to be extra well preserved against the extreme climatic conditions at sea in the Arctic working area. By applying a special epoxy paint to the machine and boom parts, the crane will be well and long-term protected against these extreme working conditions. The crane was delivered on time and we are very satisfied with the end result!’

Disassembly: We start with a partial disassembly of the crane. During this process we carefully check for rust and oxidation spots. If necessary, we treat these areas thoroughly for the best results. The sheet metal of the Kobelco crane is prepared and sprayed separately to ensure an optimal finish.

Cleaning: After disassembly, the Kobelco crane undergoes a thorough cleaning in our specially equipped washing area. This area has a maintenance pit and a platform, so that both the top and bottom of the crane can be properly cleaned.

Preparation: When the crane has been cleaned, the sanding process follows. The old layer of paint is removed and parts that should not be sprayed are carefully masked. If necessary, we treat any rust formation in this phase.

Spraying: After the preparation work, the Kobelco crane is put into the spray booth. First we apply a primer layer and then we spray the desired paint layer.

Assembly: When the Kobelco crane has been painted, it goes to Assembly. The crane is fully assembled there.

Lettering and finishing touch: Upon request, lettering can be applied to the Kobelco crane in collaboration with Van Essen Van Raay (VEVR). The crane undergoes a thorough quality control to ensure that it meets the Gouweleeuw standard. Once the Kobelco crane is completely ready, it will receive our quality sticker as a finishing touch.
