E-Crane Asia proudly announces a major milestone achieved by Bayan: the company’s three E-Cranes have collectively reached 100,000 hours of successful operation. This achievement is a strong testament to both the durability and reliability of E-Crane technology, and the strength of the long-term partnership between Bayan and E-Crane.
What makes this milestone particularly significant is that these operating hours have been reached under a Full Maintenance Contract (FMC) directly with E-Crane Asia. Through this arrangement, Bayan has been able to focus fully on productive coal handling operations, while E-Crane ensures the cranes remain in peak condition.

Bayan’s Three E-Cranes
Bayan operates three high-capacity E-Cranes under the FMC:
Mahakam River Installation- One 2000B Series EC18264 PD-E E-Crane is barge-mounted on the Mahakam River, where it transfers coal efficiently from feeder barges to mother barges.
Balikpapan Coal Terminal- Two 2000B Series EC15317 PD-E E-Cranes are operating at the Balikpapan Coal Terminal, providing reliable and continuous coal handling operations at one of Bayan’s key export hubs.
The Benefits of an E-Crane FMC (Full Maintenance Contract)
By choosing an FMC directly with the OEM, Bayan secures advantages far beyond standard service agreements:
Guaranteed High Availability- The contractual agreement specifies a minimum 95% equipment availability. In practice, Bayan’s E-Cranes have achieved an exceptional availability rate exceeding 99%, proving the quality of the products as well as the reliability and effectiveness of the FMC.
All-Inclusive Consumables and Spare Parts- E-Crane provides all consumables and genuine OEM spare parts, eliminating risks from non-original components and ensuring long-term reliability.
24/7 Standby and Service Support
With factory-trained E-Crane specialists available around the clock, Bayan benefits from rapid response times, minimizing downtime and keeping operations smooth. All support is coordinated directly from E-Crane Indonesia’s main office and warehouse located at Centra Bizpark 2, Balikpapan, ensuring fast access to spare parts and immediate service dispatch.
Predictable and Low Maintenance Cost per Hour
The FMC guarantees transparent, predictable costs, allowing Bayan to optimize the cost per operating hour with full confidence.
Reliable Performance, Maximum Productivity
Regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and immediate access to factory-trained manpower keep the cranes performing at their best.
