CAVOTEC Equipment We Repair — By Category
CAVOTEC Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CAVOTEC product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Shore Power Pedestals (SPP)
Cavotec's flagship pedestal units providing safe, automated ship-to-shore electrical connections at container terminals and multipurpose berths. Common issues include connector wear, power distribution relay failures, and safety interlock malfunctions affecting vessel power transfer operations.
MoorMaster Automated Mooring Systems
Integrated cable and power management with onboard electronics controlling automated ship mooring. Repair involves troubleshooting control logic failures, cable reel brake systems, load cell sensor issues, and PLC communication faults.
Cable Reels and Power Distribution Units
Heavy-duty retractable cable assemblies with slip-ring technology for continuous power delivery to dockside equipment and mobile industrial machinery. Slip-ring wear, brush degradation, and contact resistance are primary failure modes.
Control Electronics and Safety Modules
Programmable control units managing shore power connection sequences, safety interlocks, voltage regulation, and communication with ship power management systems. Issues include relay chatter, firmware corruption, and sensor interface failures.
Power Quality and Distribution Equipment
Frequency converters, transformer units, and stabilisation systems ensuring compatible power delivery to vessels with different electrical standards. Capacitor aging, cooling fan failures, and voltage regulation drift are common defects.
Wireless Load Monitoring Systems
Cavotec's IoT-enabled systems for real-time cable tension and load monitoring at container terminals and heavy-lift ports. Failure modes include wireless module dropout, battery management faults, and sensor calibration drift.

Common CAVOTEC Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CAVOTEC equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Shore power connector corrosion and contact resistance — Cavotec connectors operating in salt-air port environments experience accelerated corrosion of contact surfaces. Moisture ingress, galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, and salt deposits increase resistance causing voltage drop and heat generation.
- ✓Shore power pedestal relay chatter and intermittent power transfer — Heavy-duty switching relays in Cavotec SPP units experience contact bounce, mechanical wear, and electromagnetic coil degradation from continuous on-off cycling. Vibration from port equipment accelerates mechanical failure.
- ✓Cable reel slip-ring brush wear and slip-ring scoring — Continuous rotation of Cavotec cable reels causes brush wear, metallic dust accumulation, and scoring of the slip-ring surface. Port environmental contamination and improper brush pressure accelerate degradation.
- ✓Control electronics firmware corruption and CPC module lockup — Cavotec CPC-2 and control module firmware degrades due to power surges, incomplete software updates, or extended UPS battery discharge. High-temperature operation in port container yards accelerates EEPROM aging.
- ✓Wireless load monitoring sensor dropout and Bluetooth communication loss — Cavotec WLM systems experience wireless interference from port RF equipment, battery voltage droop, or antenna connector corrosion. Distance attenuation and metal structure shielding in port areas degrade signal strength.
- ✓Frequency converter capacitor aging and output voltage instability — Cavotec shore power frequency converters use electrolytic capacitors rated for demanding duty. Elevated ambient temperatures (40-50 degrees Celsius common in Indian ports), ripple current stress, and extended runtime cause capacitor ESR rise and capacitance loss.

Frequently Asked Questions — CAVOTEC Repairs
Do you repair Cavotec shore power systems anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete Cavotec electrical connection and automation portfolio — shore power pedestals, cable reels, control modules, and wireless monitoring systems. We offer same-day emergency response for port terminals in Mumbai, Kandla, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, and other Indian harbours. Door pickup available pan-India. Our Vadodara facility maintains extensive Cavotec spare parts inventory.
What is the average turnaround time for Cavotec shore power pedestal repair?+
Standard SPP connector and relay repair typically completes in 5-7 working days. Complex failures involving control electronics may require 7-10 days. Critical emergency repairs can be expedited; our technicians work 24-hour shifts for port operations. We prioritise quick diagnostics — you receive a fault report and repair estimate within 24 hours of arrival.
Can you repair Cavotec MoorMaster systems if the PLC has corrupted memory?+
Absolutely. Synchronics has certified technicians experienced with Cavotec MoorMaster 2000 and 3000 PLC reprogramming. We restore factory firmware images, replace failed memory modules, and validate all automation sequences — mooring logic, load balancing, and safety interlocks. We also repair the associated load cell sensors and wireless transceiver modules integral to the system.
Do you stock original Cavotec replacement parts or use equivalents?+
Synchronics maintains a curated stock of genuine Cavotec connectors, relays, capacitors, and control modules. For long-lead items or obsolete components, we source equivalent-rated parts from approved industrial suppliers and perform full bench testing before installation. All repairs come with 12-month parts warranty and documented component traceability.
How do you handle Cavotec equipment contaminated by salt spray and moisture?+
Salt-air contamination is endemic to Indian port environments. Synchronics uses ultrasonic cleaning for connectors and PCBs, electrolytic descaling for slip-rings, and applies hydrophobic conformal coatings. We pressure-test enclosure seals to IP67 standard and perform accelerated corrosion testing before return. Post-repair, we recommend installation of desiccant breathers and humidity monitors in harsh locations.
How do I send my CAVOTEC unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a CAVOTEC drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CAVOTEC repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CAVOTEC unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
