Types of inspections offered by Konecranes
Initial Inspection
Inspects equipment for deficiencies and deviations from manufacturer recommendations and applicable standards that may cause a risk to the safe use of your equipment. Typically required before a new crane is taken into use, or if a crane is taken into use after being out of operation for a long period of time, moved to another location or if there has been a major modification in crane structure or components.
Periodic inspection
Inspects equipment for deficiencies and deviations from manufacturer recommendations and applicable standards that may cause a risk to the safe use of your equipment. Typically an annual inspection.
Frequent inspection
Inspects the safety-critical components of equipment between periodic inspections and planned maintenance visits.
Major inspection
Inspects equipment for deficiencies and deviations from manufacturer recommendations and applicable standards that may cause a risk to the safe use of your equipment. Typically carried out after the first 10 years of service.
Electrical inspection
Visual inspection as well as operational and functional tests of the electrical components of the equipment.
Mechanical inspection
Visual inspection as well as operational and functional tests of the mechanical components of the equipment.
DWP calculation
An estimate of the accumulated duty of a crane and assessment of its remaining life.
Load test
Verifies that equipment is capable of lifting and moving the rated load through all designed motions. The load test has also been designed to meet local statutory requirements for load testing and the frequency of this test should not exceed 12 months. An observer from the Mechanical Engineer Chamber or accredited third party company will attend the Load Test, and if the test is successful, the required certificate will be granted.
Slings and Accessories Inspection
Inspects non-maintainable load lifting attachments and accessories that are attached to the crane hook during operation. The inspection identifies deficiencies and deviations from local statutory safety and health regulations and is performed by trained and qualified service personnel. The inspection service utilizes radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to record load lifting attachment inspection data and a smartphone app to help quickly and reliably identify attachments.
