DID YOU KNOW?

A crane inspector should have a minimum of 2,000 hours of relevant work experience and training related to maintaining, inspecting, servicing, repairing, and modifying cranes. Individuals should have a working knowledge of how to identify deficiencies in mechanical, structural, and electrical crane components, and any associated hoisting equipment. Under no circumstances should an individual ever be permitted to perform inspections without receiving appropriate training or cannot demonstrate knowledge of the codes, regulations, and products under inspection.
