Use this weekly overhead crane inspection checklist to assess the condition and function of critical overhead crane components. Verify emergency stop function, handset controls, support wires and decals, dual-speed buttons, and top/bottom hoist limits. Inspect hook safety catches and springs, ensure anti-collision devices operate correctly, and confirm the crane comes to rest smoothly within a reasonable time. Check lifting tackle and reference SWP100 for compliance. Capture site, location, and preparer details, then complete sign-off with a team leader signature.
Use this overhead crane monthly audit checklist to evaluate ratchet and electric chain hoists, structural supports, hooks, brakes, sheaves, guards, limit switches, and controls. Capture photos of defects, record measurements, verify labeling and rated capacities, and complete operational and electrical checks. Assign corrective actions, add recommendations, and document inspector details with signature to maintain safe, reliable crane performance.
