Overhead Cranes

Mines’ overhead crane inspection service aims not only to ensure compliance but also to maintain the equipment’s safety and efficiency.

It’s widely known that the reliability, safety, and longevity of any operational overhead crane depend on regular inspections and proper maintenance.

While these terms may seem abstract, they have tangible implications for business productivity, worker well-being, and profitability.

Overhead cranes must undergo annual inspections, with reports dated and stored for future reference.

However, more frequent inspections, such as quarterly, monthly, or daily, can help minimize excessive downtime for maintenance and repairs.

Several factors should be considered when establishing a proactive crane inspection and maintenance routine:

Age: Older and heavily used cranes require more frequent inspections.
Function: Cranes performing complex tasks should be inspected more often due to their additional components.
Frequency of Usage: Regularly used cranes need more frequent inspections than those used infrequently.
Capacity: Cranes with higher lifting capacities should undergo more frequent inspections due to the increased risk.

Downtime: The longer a crane is out of service for repairs, the more often it should be inspected.
