Overhead Crane Inspection Services
Because overhead cranes lift heavy loads near people, they must work properly to keep employees safe. Annual inspections and certification are required to comply with OSHA and other industry standards.
Annual inspections must be completed by a qualified crane technician and include an in-depth examination and a certified inspection report. As your full-service crane partner, RMH can conduct your inspection and then address any maintenance needs or safety deficiencies found during the inspection.
If you’re installing a new crane, have completed major repairs, or have relocated one, we can provide the required load-testing certification using our own test weights.
What Annual Inspections Include
Types of Crane Inspections
Overhead cranes require several different types of inspections to ensure safe operation and regulatory compliance.
| Inspection Type | Required Frequency | Who Performs It | What It Includes | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Operational Inspection | Before each shift or use | Crane operator | Visual checks: controls, hoists, hooks, ropes/chain, safety devices, overall operation | Ensures safe operation and identifies obvious issues immediately |
| Frequent Inspection | Daily to monthly, depending on use and environment | Crane operator or qualified maintenance personnel | Operating issue checks: ropes/chains, hooks, chains, limit switches, overall operation | Identifies maintenance or adjustment needs for high-wear parts |
| Periodic Inspection | Quarterly, semi-annually or annually, depending on use and environment | Qualified crane technician | Detailed inspection: structure, hoists, electrical, load-bearing parts, safety mechanisms, overall operation | Detects less obvious issues that develop over time |
| Annual Inspection | Annually | Qualified crane technician | Full system evaluation | Ensures crane meets OSHA/industry safety standards |
