what we do
At Starkon, we support Cranes with skilled Technicians and specialized Rail & Wheel Services. From Inspections and preventive maintenance to Wheel Overhauls, Rail Alignment and structural Repairs — we reduce pressure on your Technical Department and keep your Operations running.
At Starkon, we specialize in the complete replacement of Trolley Rails, including both Block Rail and A-Profile Rail Systems.
After a certain number of operating hours, Trolley Rails typically develop wear-related issues as vibrations and increased maintenance requirements. While replacement is major intervention, Starkon has made this its core expertise.
We carry out Trolley Rail Replacement using economically efficient methods, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum safety. Our approach goes beyond simple replacement — we address the entire Rail System during execution.
Scope of work
At Starkon, we carry out complete trolley truck overhauls to restore the performance of bogies and wheel assemblies. Due to continuous operation under high loads, trolley trucks are subject to wear, misalignment, and bearing failures. Our overhaul approach ensures all critical components are restored to original condition, fully in line with applicable standards.
Function
By overhauling the complete trolley truck system, we:
Our Strength
At Starkon, we replace short rails in a safe and efficient manner. Our team has many years of experience in executing these replacements, ensuring precision and reliability. Even with proper maintenance, short rail replacement is unavoidable during a crane’s lifetime.
We typically complete this work within a maximum downtime of 10 days, delivering results that exceed OEM quality by combining the replacement with our own high-grade components.
Why replace on time?
Timely short rail replacement not only improves operator comfort but also protects and extends the lifetime of other critical components, such as trolley wheels.
With Starkon short rail replacement, clients benefit from minimized downtime, enhanced quality, and longer overall crane performance.
At Starkon, we carry out precise trolley rail surveys to measure both the rail and its supporting structure, including the detection of soft spots. Because trolley rails are often difficult to access, we have developed a dedicated method that makes inspections more efficient and measurements more accurate, fully in line with NEN/DIN standards.
Function
By surveying the complete rail system, we:
Key Benefits
By combining advanced survey methods with practical reporting, Starkon provides clients with a reliable overview of rail condition and dimensions, ensuring safer and more efficient crane operations.
At Starkon, we conduct professional trolley rail vibration measurements in compliance with current standards for operator exposure and machine safety, including EN ISO 5349-1/2 for hand-arm vibration and ISO 2631-1 for whole-body vibration, as incorporated in the EU Directive 2002/44/EC.
Function
Using certified vibration measurement equipment, we:
Key Benefits
By combining advanced measurement tools with expert analysis, Starkon offers clients clarity on vibration exposure and targeted insights to optimize safety and crane performance.

What we offer:
By combining deep rail replacement experience with advanced engineering and bespoke fabrication, Starkon delivers durable, optimized rail systems that resolve root causes and enhance operational performance.
At Starkon, we service and optimize trolley tensioning systems as an essential part of the overall crane rail and trolley performance.
The correct functioning of the trolley rail and trolley system depends heavily on proper tensioning. Over time, these systems can lose accuracy, leading to misalignment, increased wear, and operational issues.
Our team has developed strong expertise in the repair, adjustment, and modification of trolley tensioning systems, ensuring reliable and stable operation. All work is carried out with a focus on safety, precision, and long-term performance.
Why proper tensioning matters
Correctly functioning tensioning systems improve trolley tracking, reduce wear on wheels and rails, and prevent unnecessary stress on the crane structure. With Starkon trolley tensioning services, clients benefit from improved system stability, reduced maintenance, and optimized crane performance.

At Starkon, we service and supply trolley and gantry wheels as an essential part of overall crane performance. The correct functioning of both trolley and gantry systems depends heavily on the condition of wheels and bearings. Over time, wear can lead to misalignment, increased vibration, and operational issues.
Our team has developed strong expertise in the refurbishment and replacement of wheels and bearings, as well as the supply of new wheel sets. All work, including disassembly and assembly of wheels, is carried out safely on-site with a focus on precision and reliability.
Why wheel condition matters
Well-maintained wheels and bearings ensure smooth crane travel, reduce wear on rails, and prevent unnecessary stress on the crane structure. With Starkon wheel services, clients benefit from reduced vibration, extended component lifetime, and reliable crane operation.
