FAQ

  • + What is the difference between a frequent crane inspection and a periodic crane inspection?

    A frequent inspection is completed weekly and/or daily depending on the crane service and hourly lifting rate. Implementing a frequent crane inspection allows your employees to stay safe through a visual inspection before using the lifting equipment. Periodic inspection services are mandatory inspections as regulated by OH&S and CSA standards. 

  • + How often should I periodically inspect my crane?

    Periodic crane inspections are determined by their use and lifting frequency per hour. CSA Standard CAN/CSA B167-96 (R2007) sets the guidelines for the maintenance and inspection of overhead cranes, gantry cranes, monorails, hoists, and trolleys to either quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Standby or infrequent and light service cranes must be inspected annually, at least once a year. Moderate or heavy service cranes must be inspected semi-annually, at least twice a year. Severe and continuous service cranes must be inspected quarterly, at least four (4) times a year. It must be serviced by a certified and licensed crane inspector, like the crane technicians at Team Overhead Crane Services Ltd.

  • + Do I need to maintain a record of every crane inspection service?

    In the case of an audit, businesses with cranes on their facilities must have them inspected with a thorough record of what was completed to ensure compliance with regulations. In Alberta, employers are required to keep a log book – paper or electronic – for each lifting device at a work site. Crane operators must be competent and familiar with all recent entries within the log book prior to operating the lifting equipment. 

  • + When is a load test required?

    CSA B167-96 states that all new, reinstalled, modified, modernized, or rebuilt lifting equipment – overhead bridge cranes, gantry cranes, monorail cranes, etc. – must have the components and items tested prior to use. That includes motions, limit switches, limiting devices, circuit controls and interlocks, holding and travel brakes with the hook carrying the rated load capacity, and 125% of the rated load capacity – the crane must be able to function without difficulty regardless of specified speeds are attainted during testing. At Team Overhead Crane Services Ltd., we ensure all safety standards are met during crane installations, inspections, maintenance and emergency services.
