HOW WE ADD VALUE
Deep Field Experience
Field-proven insight across motor and motion control, mechanical alignment, structural interactions, and the electrification issues they create. We’ve solved these problems hands-on, in real crane environments — not just on paper.
Smarter Modernizations
Upgrades grounded in real-world failure patterns and proven conductor-bar configurations. We focus on cleaner, safer, more reliable power delivery so systems run better with fewer surprises.
Correctly-Sized Solutions
Every recommendation is matched to duty cycle, load, environment, and heat behavior — ensuring components are neither overbuilt nor underbuilt, and reducing avoidable downtime.
Support That Fills the Expertise Gap
When teams need guidance beyond their in-house capabilities, we provide clear, practical direction that helps them diagnose issues, avoid missteps, and complete modernization work the right way the first time.
OUR CLIENTS
Why WK² Was Created
WK² was formed to bridge the expertise gap facing crane service teams who need practical modernization guidance based on real-world results.
Where WK² Fits
WK² supports crane service providers, OEM partners, and industrial operations that require clear, experience-based support for power-delivery and control-system upgrades.
How WK² Works For You
WK² gives crane service teams the guidance needed to size conductor systems correctly, select the right platform, troubleshoot aging installations, and plan upgrades that run cleaner and last longer.
Who is WK²
WK² Services was built on decades of hands-on crane electrification and modernization experience — including participation in ASME, AIST, and related code committees.
That background gives WK² standards-aware, field-tested perspective that helps crane service teams plan work correctly and confidently.
ABOUT US
Transform real-world crane operation into usable data. Sole Digital's add-on solution helps owners reduce risk, improve safety, extend equipment life, and make informed modernization decisions — without replacing existing cranes.
Monitor loads, lift cycles, usage hours, and safety events to understand how equipment is really being operated — not just how it’s assumed to be used.
Provide real-time alerts for unsafe conditions, restrict unauthorized operation, and create a clear record of equipment use.
Generate documented operating histories that support compliance, investigations, audits, and insurance discussions.
Replace guesswork with data-driven maintenance and modernization decisions — helping avoid premature replacement or unnecessary service.
