Overhead Crane Inspection Checklist

Notícias do sector

As the core equipment of industrial production, the safe operation of overhead cranes is directly related to the productivity of enterprises and the safety of personnel. Therefore, the overhead crane inspection and maintenance must strictly comply with national safety standards, otherwise, it may cause serious accidents. Long-term high-load operation easily leads to wear and tear of key components, and unstandardized maintenance may cause serious accidents such as wire rope breakage and brake failure. In this article, we will provide a safety inspection and maintenance checklist for overhead cranes in line with GB/T 14405-2011 standard, which will help you avoid risks and extend the life of your equipment. Please continue to read the following article:

  • General-purpose Overhead Crane--conventional workshop and warehouse material handling.
  • Electric Single Girder Overhead Cranes - economic solutions for light material handling
  • Suspension Overhead Cranes - Ideal for locations with space constraints.
  • Electric Hoist Overhead Cranes - efficient configuration for small and medium tonnage lifts
  • Metallurgical Overhead Travelling Crane--Specialized for high temperature and high load smelting environment.
  • Hydropower Station Overhead Cranes--Key Equipment for Power Plant Installation and Maintenance.
  • Explosion-proof Bridge Crane--Chemical, oil and gas, and other flammable and explosive places.
  • Insulated Overhead Travelling Crane--Electrolytic aluminum plant and other strong current working environments.
  • Explosion-proof Girder Cranes--Low-cost safety solutions for explosion-proof areas.

"It should be emphasized that the installation, transformation, and maintenance (hereinafter referred to as construction) units of bridge cranes must obtain the appropriate special equipment installation, transformation, and maintenance permits, carry out construction within the scope of the permit, and be responsible for construction safety and construction quality."

How To Inspect an Overhead Crane?

Regular inspections of overhead cranes ensure safe operation, prevent equipment failures, and comply with industry standards. Key inspection areas include steel structures, hoisting mechanisms, travel systems, controls, electrical components, and lubrication points, each of which requires specific inspections at different frequencies. Please refer to the table below for details:

Overhead Crane Inspection Items and Inspection Periodicity Table

Inspection itemsInspection focusInspection Cycle
Steel structureStructural materials, welding quality (loosening, cracking, peeling), bridge deformation, corrosion.Wear and damage of tracks, wheels, and brakes.
Mecanismo de elevaçãoOperation status of electrical components, control, and operation systems.1 time every 6 months
Traveling mechanismWear and damage of tracks, wheels, brakes.1 time per month
Control systemWear and damage of tracks, wheels, and brakes.1 time per month
Electrical equipmentIntegrity and safety of electrical wiring, electrical components, and grounding devices.1 time per month
Lubrication conditionWhether the lubricant of each lubrication point is sufficient and even to ensure the smooth operation of mechanical parts.1 time per week
