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.
