FAQs
-
What does overhead crane maintenance include?
During a preventative maintenance visit, our technicians will perform a visual inspection, examine mechanical components, check your electrical systems, test safety devices, and clean, tighten, and lubricate the system’s moving parts. After the visit we’ll provide a report out on the status of your crane or crane equipment and recommendations for preventive maintenance.
-
How often should an overhead crane be inspected?
Cranes need to be inspected at least once a year. However, systems subject to heavy use may need to be checked more frequently. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or recommendations as it relates to frequency of crane inspections.
-
Do you service all crane brands and models?
Yes, we work on all major brands and models.
-
What’s the difference between planned maintenance and an OSHA inspection?
Planned maintenance is carried out by a service specialist in order to address potential hazards and improve the performance of your crane. OSHA inspections are conducted by trained technicians to ensure your systems meet approved safety standards and identify any potential safety or compliance hazards.
