How our inspections differ
We do not simply walk around your shop performing an operational test on your overhead crane system and then hand you a report stating that the crane has been inspected.
What we actually inspect
- Inspect the wire rope and end connections for kinking, crushing, cutting, bird-caging, corrosion, reduced diameter or other unusual wear, and check for proper reeving and lubrication.
- Inspect the load block and hook for wear, bending, twisting, cracks, grooves and throat opening.
- Inspect the external parts of the hoist, trolley, framework, catwalk and handrails for broken parts, misalignment, broken welds, excessive wear or unusual conditions.
- Open control boxes and check all contactors, relays, timers and other electrical components for wear, proper operation, proper grounding and loose or broken connections.
- Inspect safety devices such as limit switches for proper operation.
- Inspect motor, couplings and wiring for wear, deterioration and proper operation.
- Visually inspect runway rails or beams for general condition and correctly installed safety equipment, end stops, rail bolts and clips, and anti-collision devices.
- Check the load brake for proper operation.
- Inspect the motor brake for proper operation and air gap adjustment.
- Inspect the main power system for collector shoe and festoon condition, and signs of arcing or wear.
