If you’re working with overhead cranes, you already know safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. But what exactly does a compliant inspection look like? And how do you stay ahead of OSHA and industry standards without slowing down operations? Here’s a quick breakdown: • OSHA 1910.179 and CFR regulations set the legal baseline for overhead crane inspections • ASME/ANSI B30.2 adds another layer of safety-focused best practices • CMAA Standards 70, 74, and 78 go deeper with guidance for design, service, and inspections Staying compliant means understanding all three. At CraneTech, our team knows these standards inside and out. We’re not here to upsell—we’re here to help you get it right the first time. Whether you’re dealing with a scheduled inspection, a compliance question, or just want to make sure your crew is covered—we’ve got your back. Need practical answers from trained experts?

Load testing saves lives. It confirms your crane or hoist can safely handle its rated capacity—so you’re not relying on guesswork. When is it required? • Before first use of new cranes/hoists • After major repairs or modifications • Post-incident (dropped load, collision) • For critical lifts or high-risk environments • As part of preventive maintenance Skipping load tests can lead to: • Equipment failure • Costly damage • Serious injuries—or worse Bottom line: If you're not sure when your last test was, it's time to check. Let’s make sure your team and equipment are safe to lift another day. Need guidance? CraneTech is here to help.

Total working or engine hours ≠ actual wear. Want smarter, more accurate crane maintenance? Start tracking working hours — the time a crane is under load, not just turned on. Why it matters: • Total hours include idle time • Working hours show real stress and wear Using working hours helps you: • Prevent over/under-maintenance • Reduce downtime and surprise failures • Improve resale value and predictions Next steps: Access load data, update your CMMS, and train your team to track what's really happening. Right data = better decisions. Schedule your Planned Repairs with CraneTech here: https://hubs.la/Q03zH3RS0 #CraneMaintenance #PredictiveMaintenance #CMMS #HeavyEquipment #Efficiency

Crane Safety: 5 Field-Ready Tips 1. Level your crane — Use outriggers properly and crib on soft ground. Don’t assume—it only takes a few degrees to throw things off. 2. Trust, but verify — Always recheck radius and actual load weight against your chart before lifting. 3. Use a signal person — Radios fail. Hands don’t. Use standard hand signals and pause the lift if anything’s unclear. 4. Watch the wind — Gusts over 20–25 mph can make a safe lift dangerous—especially with large surface area loads. 5. Respect your tech — Load indicators and safety systems only help when maintained and properly used. Don’t ignore alerts. Bottom line: Plan right. Communicate clearly. Lift safe.
