Products for painting crane parts and lifting frames

Crane parts and lifting frames need careful cleaning, rust removal, corrosion primer and an industrial topcoat because exposed steel edges, welds and fixing points can lose protection quickly in service.

What do you need to paint crane parts and lifting frames?

Cleaning and degreasing

Mipa silicone remover and Mipa silicone remover spray remove wax, grease and silicone before sanding, priming or coating.

Rust removal

MP Rust Remover Rust-Off removes rust from ferrous metal and flash rust from many substrates before the primer stage.

Hand sanding support

MP Hand Block Soft helps keep flat steel sections, guard panels and frame edges evenly keyed before cleaning and primer.

Epoxy acrylic corrosion primer

Mipa EA 100-20 gives steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, GRP and e-coated surfaces a strong primer layer before the industrial topcoat.

Semi-gloss chassis topcoat

Mipa PU 265-50 is a 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint for durable semi-gloss colour on frames, guards and exposed steel parts.

PU hardener and thinner

Mipa PU 912-25 normal, Mipa PU 914-10 short and Mipa 2K Thinner Normal V 25 support correct curing and spray viscosity for the compatible 2K PU coatings.

How to paint crane parts and lifting frames

1
Clean and inspect the metal

Degrease the part fully, then check welds, corners and old coating edges before any abrasive work.
2
Remove rust before priming

Use MP Rust Remover Rust-Off on rusty ferrous metal, then clean and dry the area before moving to primer.
3
Prepare a stable surface

Key sound old coating and bare steel with the soft hand block so loose material and gloss do not remain under the coating.
4
Apply the primer and topcoat stages

Use Mipa EA 100-20 for corrosion protection and Mipa PU 265-50 for the semi-gloss industrial finish.
5
Inspect after curing

Check lifting-frame corners, hook contact zones and bolted areas after curing, and leave load-critical surfaces clear where coating would interfere.

Which corrosion-protection products should you choose?

Use Rust-Off where rust is active

Rust remover belongs before primer on ferrous metal where visible rust or flash rust would weaken adhesion.

Use EA 100-20 for the protective base

The epoxy acrylic primer is the stronger choice for crane steel and stressed lifting frames before the colour topcoat.

Use PU 265-50 for the finish coat

The semi-gloss chassis topcoat suits crane frames and parts that need a durable industrial colour rather than a decorative light-duty finish.

Technical details

Mipa EA 100-20 is described in the Mipa industry data as suitable for highly stressed machines and plants.
Mipa EA 100-20 is listed for steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, GRP and e-coatings.
MP Rust Remover Rust-Off is listed for efficient rust removal on ferrous metals and flash rust on many substrates.
Mipa PU 265-50 is a semi-gloss 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint that needs the compatible PU hardener and thinner system.

Practical suggestion

Do not coat load-bearing friction faces, rating plates, threaded contact surfaces or inspection markings unless the equipment specification allows it.
