BOOM TRUCK INSPECTIONS IN TEXAS
L.A. Crane & Hoist Inspections provides unbiased third party inspections for Boom Trucks. Our staff will maintain all records and provide the client with a copy of the annual inspection records along with a full detailed report of any discrepancies found during an inspection. Boom Trucks are a staple in construction that can be utilized for multiple purposes. A Boom Truck consists of a hydraulic crane, which allows for heavy objects to be lifted, a flatbed for items to be placed and switched to different areas of the site, and a hoist that lifts workers in the air to provide them with a different view of the site for inspections and other operations.
​
As a Boom Truck is versatile and can perform many functions, the proper inspection needs to ensure the safest procedures. Our Boom Truck inspections are performed on-site and in accordance with the crane manufacturer's specifications. Our staff verifies that the correct load capacity chart is mounted on the crane along with checking that the counterweights are mounted correctly and that all warning decals/labels are legible. We confirm the size, type, condition, and construction of the hoist wire rope that is installed on crane.
