Keep the crane certified and running
A crane that fails inspection or breaks down mid-shift stops the whole bay. Kranes services and repairs overhead, gantry, jib and mobile cranes of any make — not just the ones we sell — so a single technician relationship covers your entire lifting program.
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled maintenance is cheaper than downtime. We inspect wire rope, hooks, brakes, controls, hoists and structure on a documented cycle, catching wear before it becomes a breakdown and keeping the crane inside its OSHA frequent and periodic inspection windows.
Breakdown repair
When a crane is down, the clock is the cost. Our technicians diagnose the fault, source the parts and return the crane to service with the repair documented — electrical, mechanical, structural or controls, whatever the make.
Inspection, certification and load testing
Kranes performs the inspection, certification and load testing your insurer, your safety program and your prime contractor require, documented to OSHA and ASME B30. You get the records on file, ready for audit.
How often a crane must be inspected
OSHA sets the inspection rhythm for construction cranes in 29 CFR 1926.1412. Kranes schedules service around these intervals:
| Interval | Who inspects | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Each shift | A competent person | Visual check for apparent deficiencies before or during the shift |
| Monthly | A competent person | The shift inspection, with the items checked and results documented |
| At least every 12 months | A qualified person | Annual/comprehensive inspection, with disassembly where required |
Overhead and gantry cranes in plants follow OSHA 1910.179, which splits inspections into frequent and periodic intervals based on how exposed each component is to wear.
What to tell us when you book
- The crane type, make and capacity.
- The symptom or fault, or the inspection that is due.
- The location and the shifts the crane runs.
Scheduled around your production
Service is planned around your shifts, not against them, in major cities from coast to coast. Tell us the crane and the issue and we send a quote with the scope, parts and certified technician time. Browse the equipment we service below or request a service quote within 24 hours.
