EXTEND YOUR CRANE’S LIFESPAN WITH MANITOWOC’S BOOM GREASE PLUS!
Smooth boom operation isn’t just a maintenance task – it’s the backbone of every successful lift. Correct boom greasing keeps your crane performing at its peak, boosts safety on site, and protects the value of your investment for years to come.
Manitowoc’s maintenance guidelines emphasise a precise lubrication schedule for each crane model. And the message is clear: using the right grease matters. Choosing the wrong type – such as mineral or fully synthetic grease instead of Manitowoc’s recommended semi-synthetic formula – can shorten lubrication intervals, accelerate wear, and even create avoidable stability issues.
Meet Boom Grease Plus – Maintenance Made Easy!
To make boom lubrication faster, cleaner, and more efficient, Manitowoc has developed a set of specialist tools designed specifically for the job. Boom Grease Plus is the smart, hassle-free way to keep your crane running like new.
Available as a complete kit or standalone components, Boom Grease Plus offers a practical, technician-friendly solution that fits perfectly into your preventive maintenance plan.
Why Choose Boom Grease Plus?
- Keeps boom movements smooth and reliable
- Protects your crane’s long-term health and operational safety
- Helps prevent downtime caused by lubrication issues
- Delivers quick, efficient maintenance with purpose-built tools
Regular preventive maintenance is one of the simplest ways to extend your crane’s lifespan — and Boom Grease Plus gives you everything you need to do it right, every time.

DID YOU KNOW KONECRANES’ ORIGINS TRACE BACK TO 1910 WITH THE FOUNDING OF KONE CORPORATION, AN ELECTRICAL MOTOR REPAIR SHOP?
Did you know Konecranes’ origins trace back to 1910 with the founding of KONE Corporation, an electrical motor repair shop?
In 1933, Finland’s KONE Corporation began producing large Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes, initially serving customers in the pulp and paper and power industries.
By 1936, the company expanded its manufacturing to include Electric Wire Rope Hoists, with harbour cranes joining the product range in 1947.
During the 1950s, KONE entered the harbour crane market, seeing strong growth in this line as the post-war economy surged.
In 1988, KONE grouped its crane operations into the KONE Cranes Division, and from 1990 onward, intensified its focus on technical leadership.
KCI Konecranes was officially established on April 15, 1994, when KONE Corporation was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange.
In 2006, KCI Konecranes streamlined its global brand identity, dropping “KCI” from its name and launching the slogan *Lifting Businesses™,* underscoring its commitment to productivity-enhancing lifting solutions and services.
Over the years, Konecranes has grown primarily through organic expansion, supported by a strong record of acquisitions. Read further about Konecranes history here: https://www.konecranes.com/about/history
