Major Inspection

All crane structures are designed for 25 years of service and Mechanical components are designed for 10 years of service. These design service periods are highly depended on the rate of usage of the and the loads that are being lifted regularly.

 

​

 

The first step in determining whether crane structure or hoist require major assessment is to carry out Design Working Period calculation based on reliable usage data of the crane. If the calculation result indicates that the crane duty will reach one of the design limits prior to the next periodic third-party inspection, then the Major assessment must be carried out.

 

 

 

When is a Major Inspection Required?

If the Cranes usage is more than the designed class of the crane.

 

After Relocation or when a user takes into operation of a second-hand crane, for which there is no information concerning the earlier operation, the major assessment shall be made prior to using the crane.

 

Equipment has reached its design working period (DWP).

 

Inability to determine if the equipment has reached its designed working period.

 

Equipment does not have certification or installation date specified.

 

 

What to expect after the completion of Major Inspection?

Inspection Report: The inspection will be conducted by a qualified and certified inspector who will provide a detailed inspection report. This report will outline the findings of the inspection, including any deficiencies or issues identified during the inspection.

 

Compliance with Standards: The inspection will assess whether the equipment complies with the relevant Australian standards, including AS 2550. If any non-compliance issues are identified, they will be documented in the inspection report.

 

Safety Recommendations: If any safety concerns are identified during the inspection, the inspector may provide recommendations for addressing these concerns. These recommendations may include repairs, maintenance, or modifications to the equipment to ensure it meets safety standards.

 

Compliance Certification: If the equipment passes the inspection and meets all safety and compliance requirements, the inspector may issue a compliance certification. This certification indicates that the equipment is safe to use and complies with AS 2550.

 

Deficiency Remediation: If the inspection identifies deficiencies or non-compliance issues, the client will typically be responsible for addressing these issues. This may involve repairing or replacing components, conducting maintenance, or making modifications to the equipment as recommended by the inspector.

 

Follow-up Inspections: Depending on the findings of the major inspection and the age and condition of the equipment, the inspector may recommend a schedule for follow-up inspections to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.

 

Remnant Life Estimate: It's essential to keep all inspection reports and certifications on record for compliance and liability purposes. Clients should maintain a record of all major inspections, compliance certificates, and any maintenance or repairs performed on the equipment.

For example, AS 2550.1: 2011 Crane, Hoists and Winches – Safe Use Part 1: General Requirements offers guidance on inspection and maintenance frequencies, if more frequent checks are not specified by regulation or the manufacturer.
