Crawler cranes are critical heavy equipment in the construction industry, but they often experience failures that cause downtime and increased costs. This article comprehensively analyses crawler crane failures using three main methods: Fishbone Diagram, Pareto Principle, and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Failure data for the past two years (January 2022 – September 2024) is analyzed to identify root causes and determine repair priorities. A Fishbone Diagram is used to identify the main causes of failure, which are grouped into four categories: Mechanical, Electrical, Environmental, and Human Error. From this analysis, it is found that mechanical failure is the most dominant cause. This analysis found that mechanical failure is the most dominant cause, mechanical failures account for most failures (60%), followed by electrical failures (33%), with failures in the gearbox and engine overheating being the most significant causes. Furthermore, FMEA evaluates potential failure modes, determines their impacts, and sets mitigation priorities based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN). The results of this study provide a strategic approach to minimize downtime by focusing maintenance efforts on the root causes of failure. This article also offers a new contribution by combining three comprehensive analysis methods not systematically applied to crawler crane maintenance. This research is expected to help improve operational reliability and reduce repair costs in the construction industry.

The high prevalence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) is causing significant concern in healthcare systems. Antibacterial urinary catheters have been developed to prevent CAUTIs in clinical application. In this work, a copper sulfide nanorod (CuS NR)-embedded urinary catheter (CuS/UC) was designed as an antibacterial urinary catheter with photothermal sterilization. The CuS NRs with low cytotoxicity were synthesized via the hydrothermal method. The CuS NRs were embedded into urinary catheters at different weight percentages. The CuS/UC exhibited homogenous surface roughness, low wettability, hydrophobicity, and low adhesiveness, promoting minimal interaction with bacteria and healthy cells. Under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, the 0.8 weight percentage of CuS NRs in the urinary catheter (0.8CuS/UC) reached a temperature of 67.4 °C, demonstrating its photothermal antibacterial activity and suitability for catheter sterilization. Agar plate test verified that CuS/UCs exhibited a superior photothermal antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Streptococcus aureus (S. aureus). Moreover, the 0.8CuS/UC exhibited excellent biocompatibility and anti-cell adhesion properties. The 0.8CuS/UC with photothermal performance, excellent biocompatibility, and anti-cell adhesion properties demonstrated its potential as a photothermal antibacterial catheter for clinical applications.
