9.1. Decommissioning a crane

Cranes are designed and manufactured taking the environment into consideration. Environmental
requirements and soundness have been considered when selecting the raw materials. The metal
parts are designed to achieve a light and durable construction, this includes the selection of higher-
quality grades of steel. When the crane is decommissioned at the end of its service life, years from
now, waste will be created, which must be utilized and disposed of correctly. The crane must be
decommissioned properly. Most of the crane's raw materials can be recycled.

• Oil and grease must not be spilled on to the ground or
released into the environment!
