Crane and Hoist Inspections

Types of Inspections

  • Pre-Use Inspections
    Conducted by the equipment operator prior to use, these quick checks ensure the lifting device is safe and ready for operation.

  • Monthly or Frequent Inspections
    Typically performed by in-house maintenance teams. We also provide this service for clients who outsource their inspection needs.

  • Annual or Periodic Inspections
    These comprehensive inspections are performed by certified inspectors from our crane division. Each inspector has a minimum of 8,000 hours of logged crane inspection and operational experience. The frequency of these inspections ranges from every 3 months to annually, depending on the classification and usage of the crane.

What We Inspect

Annual inspections typically include, but are not limited to:

  • Manual chain hoists
  • Electric hoists (chain or wire rope)
  • Monorails and jib cranes
  • Overhead, gantry, and portal cranes
  • Lifting devices such as beams, rotating arms, slings and rigging equipment

Our inspection reports are thorough and aligned with:

  • WorkSafeBC OHS Part 4, 14 & 15 Regulations 
  • CSA B167 Standards
  • ASME B30 Standards

Each inspection covers all operational and structural components of your crane or hoist:

  • Controls and operation
  • Hoist, trolley, and bridge mechanisms
  • Structural integrity
  • Signage, logbooks, and identification
  • General compliance and safety markers

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services can also be scheduled if required.

Repairs and Compliance

All repairs are carried out by our certified inspectors and service technicians, each with over 8,000 hours of crane experience, as mandated by CSA guidelines. We use OEM or engineered replacement parts depending on availability and compliance.

Whenever possible, repairs are performed during the inspection itself to minimize downtime. If on-site repairs are not feasible, we’ll schedule the service at your convenience. 

We also offer load tests.
