Inspecting the Crane
In order to maintain quality operation of the product, a regular inspection schedule should be followed
by each operator. All inspections should be reported and maintained in a dated record log. These
records should be available to all personnel involved with the product and should be made available
to OZ Lifting Products LLC® when a warranty issue is in question.
Definitions
Designated Person - The person who is selected or assigned as being competent to perform specific duties.
Qualified Person - The person that—by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of
professional standing, or through extensive knowledge, training, and experience—has successfully
demonstrated they are able to resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
Normal Service - Service that involves operation with randomly distributed loads within the rated load
limit, or uniform loads less than 65% of rated load for not more than 15% of the time.
Heavy Service - Service that involves operation within the rated load limit and exceeds normal service.
Severe Service - Service that involves normal or heavy service with abnormal operating conditions.
This also includes service that involves shock loading.
Inspection Classifications
Frequent Inspections - Completed by the operator or designated person. Performed by doing a
visual examination and listening for unusual sounds during operation. These inspections are usually
performed before each operation, every few hours during operation, and if problems arise.
Periodic Inspections - Completed by a designated person. Performed, with more detail than
a frequent inspection, by doing visual examinations of internal and external conditions. These
inspections are done on the following schedule:
• Normal Service - Semi-annually
• Heavy Service - Quarterly
• Severe Service - Immediately after completion of lift
• Following prolonged storage or if operation issues arise.
NOTE: Label crane as "Out of Service" if an inspection deems it damaged or if maintenance is
required. Do not remove this label until a qualified person has resolved the issue. Discontinue use of
wire rope and equipment if damage or overloading occurs.
Important Inspection Notes
• Brakes require more than audible and visual inspection. Check brakes daily by operating the crane
with and without a load and by stopping at various positions to ensure safe operation. If the load
coasts or creeps, contact the factory for friction disc replacements.
• Proper inspection may require disassembly of some parts. Contact the OZ Lifting Products LLC ®
factory before doing so or the applicable warranty may be voided.
• For wire rope inspections, please contact the specific manufacturer of the rope. The inspection
provided in the following chart is for a general inspection only and is in no way the complete
inspection required.
• Before operation, assure all deficiencies on the inspection chart are resolved and inspections are up
to date. Refer to the troubleshooting chart on pg.11 for further assistance.
• Be aware of applicable codes and regulations for crane inspection.
• See specific winch owner's manual for instructions and complete inspection instructions.
