Scope of inspection
We record in the inspection protocol which areas and functions were inspected and whether individual sub-inspections are still outstanding.
Crane inspection for your installation
We check whether your crane installation can be operated safely further and where technical actions are needed.
Crane inspection for existing crane systems
What is inspected depends on the crane type, its use and the specific inspection task. For this we review technical documents, functions and safety-critical components.
You don't know exactly which test is coming up? Tell us your crane installation and the occasion. We will clarify with you which inspection is required.
When your crane must be inspected again
For many crane systems, the periodic inspection is mandatory at least annually. Depending on crane type and use, shorter intervals or additional inspections may apply. We examine your crane system, the available documents and operating conditions.
Operating hours can play a role for maintenance of individual components. Which details apply depends on the manufacturer's instructions for the specific system.

Clear documentation after crane inspection
Defects and assessment
We record detected defects with their safety significance. It indicates whether there are concerns about continuing operation.
Re-inspection
If a retest is required, we also document it in the test protocol. This shows whether re-testing is necessary after the remediation.
If we identify defects
Depending on the findings, continued operation may be possible, restricted, or excluded. We also document whether a retest is required after the corrective actions.
The required measures and the rectification of the defects are initiated by the operator. They are not part of our crane inspection.
