Lift Setup Verification

Verify boom length, counterweight, radius, load chart assumptions, and planned lift path match the approved lift plan.
Confirm the crane is set in the intended location with adequate clearance for rotation, boom movement, and load travel.
Confirm the setup location maintains required clearance from overhead power lines and other overhead obstructions.
Document whether the surface is level, stable, and free from voids, soft spots, fill, washout, or other instability indicators.

Ground Bearing Capacity

Record the assessed or engineered bearing capacity and confirm it is adequate for the maximum anticipated outrigger reaction.
Verify there are no hidden subsurface hazards that could compromise crane stability under load.
Check for visible sinking, cracking, heaving, or rutting after positioning and before lifting begins.
Confirm the area is not saturated, flooded, or undermined by runoff in a way that reduces bearing capacity.

Outriggers, Pads, and Cribbing

Verify all outriggers are deployed per manufacturer instructions and secured before any lift is attempted.
Confirm pad or mat size is suitable for the expected outrigger reaction and ground conditions.
Verify each pad is level, centered, and in full contact with the support surface without edge loading.
Inspect cribbing for uniform material, stable stacking pattern, and absence of cracks, splits, or shifting.
Confirm that bricks, blocks, loose fill, or other non-approved materials are not being used in place of proper mats or cribbing.

Controls, Documentation, and Sign-Off

Confirm the person completing the inspection is authorized and competent to evaluate crane setup and ground conditions.
Record all deficiencies, the required corrective action, and the person responsible for resolution before the lift proceeds.
Attach photos showing crane position, outrigger pads, cribbing, and any ground support measures used.
Final confirmation that the crane setup, ground bearing, and outrigger support conditions are acceptable to begin lifting operations.
