By 30 June 2020 the crane had worked for 1,200 days.In July 2020 the motor of the crane started to shudder and lose power. An assessment of the crane’s motor resulted in repairs that were required to maintain the motor at its normal efficiency. The cost of $6,000 comprised labour of $4,000 and replacement parts of $2,000. The repairs were completed by the end of July 2020.
