I wonder what specifically is going wrong?
It seems to me that most of the components are just large pieces of steel which should be OK indefinitely unless they rust or develop cracks (either of which would presumably require a replacement of the affected pieces). So I would guess that the age of the whole crane doesn’t really matter; over time all the mechanical and electrical components can be replaced.
