Our flagship program provides everything that is required for companies to perform inspections on their cranes in-house and independent third-party inspectors, both needing to meet OSHA and ASME Inspector qualification requirements. The goal is to educate and prepare inspectors of mobile cranes on how to reduce the potential for accidents, liability exposure, and OSHA citations.
Identify mobile crane types including telescoping boom, lattice boom, boom truck, articulating boom, and industrial carry deck cranes using correct components and terminologyEstablish a mobile crane inspection program incorporating OSHA and ASME inspection requirements, inspector roles, and liability exposure reduction strategiesApply the three levels of crane inspection by understanding when and how each level is required and what criteria differentiate routine from detailed inspectionInspect structural components of mobile cranes including booms, frames, and welds to identify deficiencies and safety hazards in compliance with applicable standardsInspect mechanical and operational systems including sheaves, blocks, hooks, and operating mechanisms to assess condition and identify defects requiring corrective actionInspect hydraulic and pneumatic systems including cylinders, lines, and fittings to detect leaks, wear, and pressure-related deficienciesInspect electrical systems on mobile cranes to identify unsafe conditions, wiring defects, and non-compliance with applicable safety requirementsInspect wire rope for broken wires, kinking, corrosion, and other deficiencies that indicate removal from service is requiredInspect operational aids and safety devices including load moment indicators, anti-two-block devices, and boom angle indicators to verify proper functionDifferentiate between crane deficiencies and safety hazards to determine appropriate corrective action and out-of-service criteriaWrite crane inspection reports with accurate documentation of findings, deficiency classifications, and recommended corrective actions to support liability protectionDetermine when non-destructive crack detection testing is required based on inspection findings and applicable standardsApply basic rigging procedures including sling selection, load attachment, and rigging configurations in support of crane inspection and load testing activitiesPerform crane load tests in compliance with applicable OSHA and ASME requirements to verify structural and operational integrity
