Inspection Details

Record crane make/model, unit number, and asset ID.
Record the inspection date and shift start time.
Confirm the inspection is being completed by a qualified person familiar with the crane and site conditions.

Hooks, Wire Ropes, and Rigging Interface

Verify the safety latch is installed, closes fully, and prevents accidental disengagement.
Inspect the hook body, throat, and shank for bending, twisting, cracks, or other damage.
Inspect all visible rope sections for damage, distortion, or deterioration.
Confirm rope is seated correctly on drums and sheaves with no cross-winding or improper reeving.
Check for missing pins, loose hardware, cracked sheaves, or abnormal wear.

Load Indicators, Controls, and Safety Devices

Verify the load indicator, rated capacity limiter, or equivalent device powers on and displays normal status.
Confirm the correct load chart for the crane configuration is available and readable.
Check that control response is smooth, labeled, and free from sticking or abnormal delay.
Verify applicable audible/visual warnings and safety interlocks operate as intended.

Outriggers, Stabilizers, and Leveling

Check for hydraulic leaks, binding, damaged cylinders, or uneven movement.
Confirm pads/cribbing are adequate for the load and free of cracks, splits, or instability.
Record the measured level or slope before operation.
Verify there is adequate clearance for full deployment and operation.

Ground Conditions and Work Area

Inspect for soft soil, voids, sinkage, washouts, trenches, or other conditions that could affect stability.
Confirm the setup area will support the crane and load without unacceptable movement.
Verify the lift zone is controlled and exclusion boundaries are established as needed.
Identify hazards present in the work area before lifting.

Corrective Actions and Sign-Off
