Mobile & Locomotive Crane Inspections
Competent-person inspections for mobile and locomotive cranes meeting OSHA requirements and ASME B30.5.
OSHA requires that the owner/operator comply with the manufacturer’s specifications and limitations applicable to the operation of any and all cranes and derricks. Where manufacturer’s specifications are not available, the limitations assigned to the equipment shall be based on the determinations of a qualified engineer competent in this field, and such determinations will be appropriately documented and recorded. Attachments used with cranes shall not exceed the capacity, rating, or scope recommended by the manufacturer.
“All mobile and locomotive cranes in use shall meet the applicable requirements for design, construction, installation, testing, maintenance, inspection, and operation as prescribed in ASME B30.5 and a thorough, annual inspection of the hoisting machinery shall be made by a competent person, or by a government or private agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor. The employer shall maintain a record of the dates and results of inspections for each hoisting machine and piece of equipment.”
— paraphrased from OSHA Inspector Handbook
We provide a competent and qualified person who shall inspect all machinery and equipment, ensuring the equipment is in safe operating condition. Any deficiencies found during the inspection will be noted in a written report issued on site.
All inspections we perform meet and exceed all applicable standards and regulations.
