Overhead Crane Inspection Services for OSHA Compliance and Safety
Overhead crane inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain safety and operational reliability in your facility. OSHA and ASME regulations require that all overhead and gantry cranes undergo thorough annual inspections by qualified professionals. These inspections aren’t just a legal requirement—they’re a vital part of your equipment’s lifecycle and performance.
Why an Overhead Crane Inspection Matters
Every facility that operates cranes needs more than just a simple check. A well-executed overhead crane inspection can prevent costly repairs, avoid downtime, and keep your team safe. At AFE Crane, our certified inspectors go beyond checklists. They carefully assess your crane’s mechanical systems, structural integrity, and safety features to identify issues before they become problems.
