Run Mobile Crane Setup and Ground Bearing Verification — Free

Lift Setup Verification

Lift plan reviewed and crane configuration matches the approved setup critical (required)

Verify boom length, counterweight, radius, load chart assumptions, and planned lift path match the approved lift plan.

Yes No N/A

Crane positioned on designated setup location critical (required)

Confirm the crane is set in the intended location with adequate clearance for rotation, boom movement, and load travel.

Yes No N/A

Overhead hazards and power-line clearance verified critical (required)

Confirm the setup location maintains required clearance from overhead power lines and other overhead obstructions.

Yes No N/A

Ground conditions visually assessed by competent person critical (required)

Document whether the surface is level, stable, and free from voids, soft spots, fill, washout, or other instability indicators.

Yes No N/A

Ground Bearing Capacity

Soil or surface bearing capacity verified for expected outrigger loads critical (required)

Record the assessed or engineered bearing capacity and confirm it is adequate for the maximum anticipated outrigger reaction.

Ground is free of voids, trenches, basements, or uncompacted backfill critical (required)

Verify there are no hidden subsurface hazards that could compromise crane stability under load.

Yes No N/A

Surface settlement or rutting observed during setup critical (required)

Check for visible sinking, cracking, heaving, or rutting after positioning and before lifting begins.

Yes No N/A

Drainage and moisture conditions acceptable for crane support critical (required)

Confirm the area is not saturated, flooded, or undermined by runoff in a way that reduces bearing capacity.

Yes No N/A

Outriggers, Pads, and Cribbing

Outriggers fully extended and locked in the required position critical (required)

Verify all outriggers are deployed per manufacturer instructions and secured before any lift is attempted.

Yes No N/A

Outrigger pads or mats sized appropriately for the load critical (required)

Confirm pad or mat size is suitable for the expected outrigger reaction and ground conditions.

Yes No N/A

Pads centered and fully seated on stable support critical (required)

Verify each pad is level, centered, and in full contact with the support surface without edge loading.

Yes No N/A

Cribbing is sound, level, and properly stacked critical (required)

Inspect cribbing for uniform material, stable stacking pattern, and absence of cracks, splits, or shifting.

Yes No N/A

No improvised materials used for support critical (required)

Confirm that bricks, blocks, loose fill, or other non-approved materials are not being used in place of proper mats or cribbing.

Yes No N/A

Controls, Documentation, and Sign-Off

Setup verified by competent person or designated inspector critical (required)

Confirm the person completing the inspection is authorized and competent to evaluate crane setup and ground conditions.

Yes No N/A

Deficiencies documented with corrective actions assigned critical (required)

Record all deficiencies, the required corrective action, and the person responsible for resolution before the lift proceeds.

Photos captured of crane setup and outrigger support points

Attach photos showing crane position, outrigger pads, cribbing, and any ground support measures used.

Inspection completed and approved for lift start critical (required)

Final confirmation that the crane setup, ground bearing, and outrigger support conditions are acceptable to begin lifting operations.
