This video gives you the lowdown on why you must get your crane checked regularly. OSHA, ASME, ANSI, and CMAA are the cool safety squads that make sure everything is okay, and regular inspections help you stay in their good graces. There are different types of inspections, some happening more often than others.
You can call a crane inspection services professional for an extra set of eyes, which can be super helpful. The inspection might seem like a hassle, but it’s worth it.
You avoid any safety mishaps. The cost depends on a few things, but it usually falls between $960 and $1,200 per crane. Don’t get tempted by super cheap or even free inspections.
Going that route might mean the inspector is cutting corners. Because of that, you could end up with a bad report. Make sure the inspector has the right qualifications. They should also have a good track record before you let them loose on your crane. Before you jump on a seemingly good deal, ask the company about who their inspectors are.
The cool part is that your production line doesn’t have to stop while inspectors are doing their thing. The inspection time? Well, that depends on how beastly your crane is and how many parts it’s got. If it’s a simple, it’s a quickie. But if it’s a complex one with more components, it might take a bit longer.
