Overhead Crane Solutions Inc. has developed an inspection program that is detailed, thorough, and straightforward. Unlike other industry programs that can be confusing with numerical ratings, charts, and graphs, our system is designed to clearly answer the question, “What condition is my crane in?” Our inspection reports are easy to understand within seconds, whether you are in management or a worker on the floor.
Our crane inspections are designed to assess the safety of your equipment, detect wear and tear, and identify maintenance needs to ensure safe and productive operation. Additionally, our inspections verify that your equipment complies with current local standards and regulations, helping you avoid costly fines and operational disruptions.
