Independent inspections for cranes
Mevas is an international inspection service for the pre-purchase check-up of used cranes and heavy equipment. The company provides independent expertise for used mobile and crawler cranes. Buyers can stay at home and will receive a professional inspection report.
For an average fee of 900-1200€ you will receive a comprehensive inspection report for a used crane. The report lists all major components. A functional test is being performed with the operator.
Start and end of rental inspections
If you are renting a crane for a long period, it makes sense to arrange for an inspection before the start of the rental period and another after the end of the rental. The inspectors will record the condition of the crane on site before the start of the rental period. At the end of the rental period, a further report will be prepared. In this way, you can prove defects that are at the expense of the tenant. We provide this service in 25 countries.
Used Crane Inspections
Second-hand cranes in good quality are rare. The right offer is usually not available round the corner. It is good to know that there is an independent service provider for inspections. Mevas crane inspectors are ready for support in more than 20 countries for 3rd party crane inspections.

Inspection report for cranes
During inspection the engineer is checking all crane components for condition and damage. With the local operator a test of all crane functions will be performed. Crane erected, boom fully telescoped, outriggers on ground, test of winches and swing drive. We measure swing bearing play and rope diameter. Finally a drive and brake test is done. All inspected item s are listed on a crane inspection checklist. The inspector takes 100-120 photos and makes a short video on demand. Our crane inspection checklist guides the inspector through the inspection process. Following the guide he will not forget to inspect and test any components.
Crane Valuations
Last but not least we have capabilities to evaluate used cranes. If an independent crane valuation for any purpose is required Mevas can help. No matter if you need the current value of a single unit or a fleet of cranes.
