HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOUR CRANE BE INSPECTED? The Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) established overhead crane service classes so manufacturers and end-users could design the most economical cranes for their applications. The cranes can be classified into loading groups according to the service conditions of the most severely loaded part of the crane. CMAA Crane Class Description Typical Schedule A Standby or Infrequent Service Annually B Light Service - 2-5 lifts hr. Annually C Moderate Service - 50% capacity, 5-10 lifts hr. Annually D Heavy Service - 50% capacity, 10-20 lifts hr. Semiannually E Severe Service - near capacity, 20+ lifts hr. Quarterly F Continuous Severe Service - near capacity and continuous service throughout day Bi-Mont OSHA's CRANE INSPECTION GUIDELINES OSHA classifies crane inspections based on their recommended frequencies, which are determined by factors such as the crane components wear, deterioration, or potential for malfunction. According to OSHA regulations, conducting annual inspections is the minimum requirement to ensure the safe and proper usage of overhead cranes. However, it is advisable for qualified individuals to assess whether monthly inspections are necessary for the overhead cranes in your facility, depending on their usage patterns. While both monthly and annual inspections are valuable for having professionals guarantee the safe operation of overhead cranes, their functionality can vary daily. As a result, it is essential to perform daily checks to proactively address any unexpected issues. OSHA Crane Category Description Interval Initial Inspection Prior to their first use, all new and altered cranes should be inspected. One Time Initial Inspection Inspections performed between the required periodic inspections. Daily to Monthly Frequent Inspections Mandatory OSHA overhead crane inspections required to ensure safe operation. Monthly or Annual Preventative Maintenance Crane manufacturer's recommendations to keep your equipment operating safely and efficiently. Varies WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVICE YOUR NEEDS
