As defined by Webster means the “Careful Investigation; and Critical Examination”.

Do not trust your equipment to be looked at by just anybody.

Annual crane inspections are mandatory on all overhead traveling cranes and hoisting equipment as covered by state and federal code.

These mandatory inspections should be performed by a company that specializes in a wide range of crane hoisting component products, as well as someone who understands and can verify the structural integrity of your equipment. They should have factory support, on-site training and be authorized dealers for state-of-the-art overhead crane products and components.

At WEMCO, we consider the inspection phase to be the most critical in our three step maintenance process. It is here that your WEMCO certified technician will create and maintain a personalized file containing your company’s crane and hoisting equipment serial numbers, as well as build a parts and components list to maximize future maintenance and parts procurement efficiency.  Next, our inspectors analyze every inch of your equipment. Starting with the wear items, we double check all of the equipment’s safety features. Inspection of all welded and bolted connections is administered followed by a thorough braking component examination to ensure proper operation. Our certified technicians then remove all covers to inspect for gear wear and load brake functionality, ensuring all adjustable features are set to manufacturer’s specifications. We asses gear boxes and bearings for proper lubrication then clean and re-lube wire ropes and load chains finalizing the inspection within the scope of CMAA specifications.

As you can see WEMCO’s crane system inspections go well beyond the code compliance mandated by state and federal inspection criteria.

Once WEMCO’s certified technicians have completed an Inspection for your company you will receive a detailed report from the tech in writing highlighting the condition and operating state of crane and hoist components.
