Daily Pre-Start Non-Slew Crane Checklist
This daily pre-start non-slew crane checklist helps operators confirm the crane is safe and ready for use before each shift. It covers functional checks for controls, boom movement, winch and hold brakes, limit and anti-two-block systems, overload alarms, radius indicators, and load charts. Inspect structural components, hook block, sheaves, wire rope lay, tyres and pressures, lights, mirrors, cameras, alarms, steering and carrier brakes. Verify fluid levels and leaks for engine oil, coolant, hydraulic and brake systems; assess belts, batteries, air filters, guards, steps and access points. Record defects by severity, attach photos, and sign off. Use to document compliance and corrective actions prior to operation.

Daily Mobile Crane Checklist
Use this pre-use mobile crane inspection checklist to document daily safety checks before operation. Sections cover visual inspection of fluids, hydraulics, tires, boom, wire rope, blocks and hooks; cab readiness with manuals, load and hand signal charts, fire extinguisher, and glass; gauges and indicators including LMI, drum rotation, boom length and angle; and operational tests such as counterweights, main and auxiliary hoists, anti-two-block, swing brake, lights and horns. Capture operator, date, crane and model details, record failures, and keep the form with the crane for compliant, safer lifts.
