5 Daily inspections
5.1 General
Daily inspections shall be carried out at the start of each shift during which the crane is to be used. These
are to te s t the fu nc tiona l ity o f the c ra ne and vi s ua l ly che ck for any de fe c ts (i n genera l, no d i s ma ntl i ng i s

T hey sha l l b e c arrie d out b y a comp e tent p ers on (e . g. the crane d river) .
5.2 Content
The inspections shall include the following:
a) the fu nc tion i ng o f emergenc y s top control s;
d) the functioning of motion limiting devices, exercising caution while making checks in case of
ma l func tion;
f) the fu nc tion i ng o f l i m iti ng and i nd ic ati ng device s and aud ible warn i ng device s , where fitte d;
g) a visual examination of the general condition of the crane structure and mechanisms, with
p ar tic u lar attention to the rop e s , cha i n s or b elts , the she ave s , the ho ok and its latch;
i) for cab-controlled cranes and cranes with access to the bridge, a visual examination to ensure
th at the work are as on the crane are tidy a nd fre e from a ny item wh ich m ight fa l l, that acce s s and

m) a visual examination to ensure that the crane signage is present and legible including the rated
capacity, any individual hoist and hoist combination capacities and motion signage on crane/hoist
structures corresponding to the operator controls.
In respect of d) above, when it is impractical, due to speed or distance, to check long travel limiting
devices on every occasion, a check need only be made when the crane is to be used in their vicinity.
5.3 Results
Written records o f all daily checks shall be kept and include at least the following in formation:
— identity o f the crane;
— date o f inspection;
— result o f the check, i.e. whether or not the crane passed;
— name and signature o f the person carrying out the check.
NOTE This can be kept to a minimum by, for example, completing a single line o f a pro- forma record card
located near the crane.
Any de fect found shall be reported to a person authorized and competent to decide on the action to take
(e.g. to leave the crane in use, repair it, make a more detailed inspection of a part of the crane or the
whole crane or, in the event that the crane is not safe to use, to isolate and lock-off the crane to prevent
further use until the problem has been resolved).
The crane record shall be updated with the result of the inspection and the action taken.
6 Frequent inspections
6.1 General
Frequent inspections shall comprise visual and auditory inspections as specified in 6.2, and the
functional tests according to 5.2.
NOTE In general, no dismantling is required, although it might be convenient to schedule the inspections
concurrently with planned preventive maintenance.
They shall be carried out by a competent person (e.g. an experienced technician; see ISO 9927-1).
In addition to any checks specified by the manu facturer, the following items, as summarized in Table 1,
shall be inspected:
a) all wire ropes for broken wires, flattening, basket distortion or other signs o f damage, excessive
wear and surface corrosion in accordance with ISO 4309, other lifting media such as chain or
webbing belts for damage or excessive wear;
b) all rope, chain or belt terminations, pins and retaining devices, and inspection of all sheaves, for
damage, worn bushes or seizure;
c) all hooks, sa fety latches and other load li fting attachments for damage, free movement or wear and
a visual inspection of the hook shank thread and securing nut for undue movement, which might
indicate wear or corrosion;
d) the structure for damage, for example, deformation, cracked welds and loose bolts and other
asteners;
f
e) all wheels and wheel flanges for damage and excessive wear;

6.3 Periodicity
T he p erio d icity o f the fre quent i n s p e c tion s s ha l l ta ke i nto account the ac tua l u s e o f the cra ne and
the environment in which the crane is working. The maximum period shall not exceed 6 months
unless, following a detailed review of the crane condition and operation, a competent person deems it
appropriate to extend the inspection period to suit the crane usage.
6.4 Results
Written records of all frequent inspections shall be kept and include at least the following information:
— date o f the i n s p e c tion;
— results of the inspection, including details of the condition of critical components which need to be
monitored, for example, a wire rope showing signs of wear.
The record shall be maintained with the crane’s historical records and made available to the competent
person responsible for the periodic inspection.
Any de fect found shall be reported to a person authorized and competent to decide on the action to take
(e.g. to leave the crane in use, repair it, make a more detailed inspection of a part of the crane or the
whole crane or, in the event that the crane is not safe to use, to isolate and lock-off the crane to prevent
further use until the problem has been resolved).
The crane record shall be updated with the result of the inspection and the action taken.
7 Periodic inspections
7.1 General
7.3.
Periodic inspections are inspections made periodically, as indicated in
Periodic inspections shall comprise visual inspections and functional tests, both with rated load and
without load, as defined in 7.2, 6.2 and 5.2.
NOTE In general, no dismantling is required unless the inspection indicates potential defects which require
further investigation.
They shall be carried out by a competent person (e.g. an experienced technician; see ISO 9927-1).
The competent person shall be in possession of
— the report of the previous inspections, and
— the automatic registered data, where available (cycles, hours, days, loads, etc.), permitting knowledge
of the service time of the components for which data exist.
7.2 Content
The periodic inspections shall include the content of the frequent inspections as specified in 6.2.
In addition to any checks specified by the manu facturer, the following items shall be inspected as
applicable:
NOTE This list is not exhaustive. An example of a periodic inspection checklist is shown in Annex B.
a) end carriage structures;
b) long travel drive including motor, coupling and gearbox, wheels, axles, bearings and brakes;
c) bridge girders;
d) crab structure;
e) cross travel drive including motor, coupling and gearbox, wheels, axles, bearings and brakes;
f ) cross travel rails;
g) hoist mechanism including motor, brake, couplings, gearbox, drum and bearings;
h) operator cab and seating;
i) platforms and access ladders;
j) supporting structures;
k) gantry beams, rails and fixings;
Assessment criteria
7.3 Periodicity
T he p erio d icity o f the p erio d ic i n s p e c tion s ha l l ta ke i nto account the ac tua l u s e o f the c rane, the
envi ronment i n wh ich the crane i s worki ng , the manu fac tu rer ’s i n s truc tion s and any le ga l re qu i rements .
7.4 Results
Written records of all periodic inspections shall be kept and include at least the following information:
— date o f the i n s p e c tion;
— results of the inspection, including details of the condition of critical components which need to be
monitored, for example, a wire rope showing signs of wear.
The record shall be maintained with the crane’s historical records.
Any defect found shall be reported to a person authorized and competent to decide on the action to take.
Defects which present an immediate or imminent danger indicate that the frequent inspection and
maintenance regimes are inadequate to ensure that the crane is maintained in a safe and serviceable
condition. If such defects are found, the inspection and maintenance regimes should be reviewed and
adjusted accordingly.
The crane record shall be updated with the result of the inspection and the action taken.
8 Exceptional inspection
8.1 General
The inspection shall be carried out after exceptional circumstances.
Exceptional circumstances include an overload beyond that allowed for by any load limiter, collision,
use for particularly arduous duties, failure o f a structural component, subjected to weather in excess o f
design parameters, up-rating o f rated capacity or changing to a more arduous or hazardous duty.
The verifications shall be per formed by a competent person (e.g. an experienced technician or engineer,
depending on the nature o f the verification).
8.2 Content
The extent of the inspection shall be proportional to the nature of the exceptional circumstances and
the extent o f any damage, repairs or modifications and should take into account the reports o f previous
thorough examinations, where applicable.
