Annual inspection program
Inspections are performed by "Certified Crane Inspectors" all of whom have many field inspection hours
and have successfully passed all certification exams. These thoroughly trained, tested and qualified inspectors evaluate and
code all crane components. A complete report for each crane is generated. All deficiencies are coded and are prioritized by
the impact they have on either safe crane operation or potential loss of production. A complete analysis by component and
by crane is then submitted for customer review.
The following is included as part of an annual inspection program:
A. Safety inspection report on each crane
B. Priority and ranking summaries to assist in recommending
repairs
C. Work orders for each crane requiring repairs with fixed estimates upon request
Accurate Crane Co. checklist covers over 200 items and includes the following at a minimum:
- Inspect all oil/lube reservoir levels and check for leakage. Visual inspection of gearboxes. Removing gear case covers
and complete inspection of gearing is available as an option.
- Inspect the sheave drums wheels and bearings for general condition and lubrications.
- I inspect the wire rope and end connections for any signs of kinking, crushing, cutting, bird caging, corrosion reduced
diameter or any other unusual wear. Check for proper reeving and lubrications.
- Inspect the load block and load hook for wear, bending, twisting, cracks, grooves and throat opening. If evidence of a
problem is suspected your equipment will be tested with chemical dye penetrants to confirm it's safe use.
- Inspect the internal parts of the hoist, trolley and all crane structure for broken welds, broken parts, misalignment
and excessive wear or any unusual conditions.
- Check entire unit for proper control operation and pendant labeling.
- Open control boxes and check all contactors, relays, timers and other electrical components for wear and proper operation.
- Inspect safety devices for proper operations.
- Inspect motors, couplings and wiring for wear, deterioration and proper operation.
- Visually inspect runway rails or beams for general conditions and properly installed safety equipment. Note: A complete
runway inspection and verification of minimum crane clearances is not performed as a part of our standard inspection procedure;
this is available upon request.
- Check load brake for proper operation. Certified weight testing will be conducted on a as needed basis when certified
weights are provided by Detroit Diesel.
- Inspect motor brake for proper operation and air gap adjustment.

Preventive Maintenance & Inspection Program
Accurate Crane Co. preventive maintenance program is custom developed for your cranes.
It will help you get optimum use of your lifting equipment and will meet all applicable OSHA requirements. The right amount
of preventive maintenance will save you money in less equipment downtime and costly emergency repairs and breakdowns. Field
proven preventive maintenance methods are utilized on cranes, generating a constant, measurable reduction on overall customer
maintenance costs.
This custom program saves you money by:
- Avoiding costly down time
- Catching wear items before they become breakdown problems
- Extending the lifetime of the crane and it's accessories
- Reducing your overhead on special lubricants, tools and parts
- Maintaining a permanent record of your crane/hoist maintenance, as required by OSHA
- Performing adjustments and minor maintenance, thus reducing service calls and in-house maintenance costs
- Reducing long-term maintenance costs by repairing small problems before they grow into costly repairs
This P.M. & inspection program includes inspecting & servicing of:
- All components requiring lubrication
- Control station and wireless controls, for operation and safety function
- All wear items, for signs of fatigue or excessive wear
- All structure and supports, visually for failures
- Hook and lifting devices
- Load chains and wire ropes
- All limit switches and safety devices
- Motor brake, for operation and adjustments
