  A Periodic Inspection has advantages, most notably:

  • Reducing down-time and lost man-hours caused by equipment breakdowns by  scheduling repairs at your convenience, rather than dealing with emergency repairs.

  • Detecting potentially hazardous conditions.

  • Reducing the costs of repairs by correcting defects early on, before equipment is seriously damaged.

  • Uncovering dangerous conditions which are not evident to your personnel.

We can provide (at no charge) a video emphasizing safe operation

to show your crane operators during our inspection.

You will be furnished a Report for each Crane with the following Cover Sheet

  Date

 Your Company

  Street Address

  City, State, Zip code

 

  Attention:

  time of inspection.  Conditions can change drastically with a single misuse!   Therefore, 

  your operators should be trained to visually inspect the equipment before they operate it.  If your

 Overhead Crane Training.

 level of competence of your operators.
