We do it ourselves.

That’s great that you understand the importance of an inspection program and have trained personnel to conduct your inspections. However, it is very beneficial to have an outside company who specializes in Crane Inspections and Certifications who is qualified to go over your inspection program to ensure that you meet all the current OSHA and ANSI Standards of which there have been many changes over the last few years.


Where does it state in OSHA that we must conduct an annual inspection?

This is a question that is raised all the time. OSHA CFR-29 1910.179 states how often and what needs to be inspected. This is where we can assist you. We keep up with all the changes and know what to look for so we can assist you in reducing the chance for a crane accident.


How much does this service cost?

The cost of our service depends on the level of inspection you desire. However, the investment is a small cost to pay and can help you reduce your cost of liability and workmen’s compensation insurance and loss of time, etc.


We can’t afford to shut down our operation to have the hoist or crane inspected.

We understand your concern and that is why we offer after hours service on all your cranes and hoist.
