Routine crane inspections are frequent operational checks intended to confirm a crane remains safe for continued service between more detailed inspections.

Typically include:

• Functional testing of controls, brakes, and emergency stops
• Inspection of safety switches and interlocks
• Visual checks of wire ropes, chains, hooks, and sheaves
• Lubrication checks and fluid levels
• Review of logbooks and recorded defects

 A third-party crane inspection is an independent inspection performed by a provider not responsible for routine servicing or maintenance.

Commonly used to:

• Provide independent verification of condition or compliance
• Includes an in-depth inspection alongside a design work period calculation to determine the cranes fatigue based on usage
• Review previous inspection or rectification work

A 10-year crane inspection is a major inspection intended to assess crane condition beyond routine service checks.

Typically includes:

• Detailed mechanical inspection (wheels, gearboxes, motors, hook, shafts)
• Assessment of fatigue-critical areas - NDT
• Measurement of wear, deformation, and tolerances
• Review of operating history and duty classification
• Identification of defects not visible during routine inspections

A 25-year crane inspection is a critical lifecycle assessment of a crane’s suitability for continued safe operation.

At this stage, cranes are often:

• At or beyond their original Design Working Period (DWP)
• Subject to structural and mechanical fatigue and or failure

Typically includes:

• Comprehensive structural and mechanical inspection
• Detailed inspection of fatigue-critical components
• Review of historical loading and abnormal events
• Clear recommendations on:
  
  • Continued operation
  • Rectification
  • Derating
  • Life extension
  • Replacement planning

Cranes are critical assets in heavy industry, playing a vital role in maintaining production. Any breakdown can have a significant flow-on effect, leading to costly downtime.

We take the burden off your team by proactively managing your crane assets, ensuring reliability and performance are maintained at all times. By working closely with you to identify and hold critical components, we minimise downtime and keep your operations running as efficiently as possible.
