Safety Inspections for the structural steel components of an overhead crane are required to ensure that your facility is operating in a safe manner.
Industrial Crane Safety Inspections – Overhead Cranes
In addition to the mechanical inspection, Overhead Cranes require a structural inspection to ensure the safety of the Rails (Runway) the column connection, the bridge as well as the NDT of the hook and block. Our experienced team will inspect for cracking, deformation and damage of all structural components not covered in the mechanical inspection.
Depending on the type and use of the crane, the structural safety inspection should be done on a quarterly, semi annual or annual basis. Make sure to reference the correct code when planning your overhead safety inspections!
In 2016 the CSA Standard for Overhead lifting equipment was updated. The code: CSA B167-16 “Overhead Cranes, Gantry Cranes, Monorails, Hoists, And Jib Cranes” was significantly changed and the requirements include tracking of all inspections and maintenance in one document. Contact AXIS for more information on how to start your preventative maintenance inspection plan for your overhead lifting equipment and below the hook lift devices.
