Inspection of structures supporting overhead cranes

To ensure the longevity of your overhead crane and the safety of your workers, it's crucial to regularly monitor the condition of the crane runway and other structural components. This inspection can detect any damage or signs of wear. The frequency of overhead crane operation, the environment, the load capacity and the commissioning date are all essential factors to be considered to determine the frequency of your structural inspections.

Structural inspections should include the following checks:

• Rail running surface
• Rail joints and bolts
• Rail and its fixings
• End stops
• Columns
• Parallelism of running girders
• Condition of overhead crane wheels
• In certain situations, the elevation of rails to check their flatness must also be verified

These structural inspections and subsequent repairs can save your company money on downtime, emergency repairs and accident damage.
