Inspection of Cranes and Lifting Devices

Inspection creates substantial data that can be used to ensure safety and increase the life span of a crane or a lifting device. The results serve as valuable input for the maintenance systems and provide early warnings of future problems so you can avoid costs or, at worst, an emergency breakdown. Inspection is more than complying with legislation and regulations. A well-trained inspector can immediately reveal when quality is not up to standard, and can thereby positively influence production and the quality of the product.
