Main inspection items

Hoist and lifting mechanism inspection

Detailed inspection of hoist, gearbox, drum and lifting components to verify safe lifting operation under rated load.

Braking systems (hoisting, long travel, cross travel)

Functional checks and adjustment of hoisting and travelling brakes to ensure controlled stopping and emergency performance.

Wire rope and hook inspection

Visual examination of wire ropes, hooks and safety latches for wear, deformation, corrosion and remaining service life.

Electrical power supply and control panels

Inspection of power feeds, festoons, control panels and protection devices to verify safe and reliable operation.

Weld inspection and crack detection (Dye Penetrant)

Non-destructive testing of welds and structural joints using visual methods and dye penetrant techniques where required.

Travel and control systems

Verification of long and cross travel drives, rails and control devices for smooth, accurate and safe crane movement.

Standard test types

Our inspection procedure covers a complete range of mechanical and functional tests to verify the safety and performance of your cranes before they return to service.

01

Visual inspection

Examination of crane structure, hoist, rails and safety systems to detect visible defects and non-conformities.

02

Static load test (according to FEM / BS)

Applying overload according to standards to ensure structural integrity, deflection limits and hoisting safety.

03

Dynamic load test

Moving the load to evaluate dynamic behavior, stability, vibration and control accuracy.

04

Deflection test using laser measurement

Measuring structural deflection using laser tools to confirm compliance with FEM/BS limits.

05

Brake performance test

Verification of stopping distance, brake torque, holding capability and emergency behavior.

Reports and documentation

Every testing and inspection project is completed with clear, structured documentation so that you have a full traceability record for each overhead, gantry or jib crane in your plant. Our engineering team prepares reports that are easy to audit, easy to follow and fully aligned with international crane inspection standards.

What you receive after each crane inspection

  • Detailed inspection report for each crane – including test results, findings, non-conformities and photographs where necessary.
  • Crane ID passport and checklists – unique identification, technical data and signed checklists for statutory and internal audits.
  • Safety and optimization recommendations – practical actions to increase safety, improve availability and extend crane lifetime.
  • Maintenance and periodic inspection plan – tailored schedule for routine checks, preventive maintenance and follow-up testing.
