What are some items on a crane inspection checklist?

Some items on a crane inspection report form include checking to see that the crane is not worn or corroded and ensuring that the wire rope is positioned properly. Other points of inspection are checking that the controls work properly and the hydraulic system has the correct fluid level.

The items on a crane inspection checklist are designed to ensure that the crane is in compliance with OSHA regulations. Regulations vary depending on the type of crane being inspected, so an inspection checklist should match the type of crane and its primary function. Cranes should be inspected once a month, or more frequently during periods of heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions.
