Start every shift safely with our Pre-Use Crane Inspection Checklist. This digital app is the most effective way to standardize your team’s inspections on all mobile cranes, ensuring proper equipment function and preventing equipment failures. It guides operators through the critical checks required before any operation, from heavy lifting to simple positioning, promoting occupational safety and protecting your team from hazards.Before every heavy lifting operation, this critical check is fundamental to occupational safety and preventing costly equipment failures. Use our Crane Inspection Checklist to standardize your safety protocols for all mobile cranes and ensure every operation starts safely.
Our app guides inspectors through a comprehensive review of all critical components. Check the engine fluid level, reeving, tire pressure, hoist control, swing brake, and other visual and operational systems. The checklist ensures you don’t miss vital checks on the wire rope, all safety devices, and the functionality of control panels. It also includes verification of the load chart and a critical assessment of ground conditions to ensure a stable setup.
Identify safety hazards such as leakage, cracks, improper inflation, or excessive wear. Thoroughly and frequently inspect cranes for any defects, taking photo records of visual wear or damage, and log corrective actions as recommended. Meticulous record-keeping of this kind is essential for maintaining the crane’s structural integrity and proving adherence to safety regulations.
Navigating complex inspection requirements can be challenging. Our checklist simplifies regulatory compliance by aligning your inspections with standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The app helps ensure your processes meet key OSHA regulations , such as those in 29 CFR 1926 , and are consistent with industry benchmarks like ANSI standards.
