MOBILE CRANE INSPECTIONS IN TEXAS

L.A. Crane & Hoist Inspections provides unbiased third party inspections for Mobile Cranes as required by the O.S.H.A. and A.S.M.E. Industry standards. Mobile Cranes are known for their efficiency and seamless performance throughout a job site. They can be used to lift heavy objects, move them short distances, and help construct Tower Cranes. These cranes can be used for hoisting, transporting, and placing heavy materials for various industries. Mobile Cranes offer the utmost convenience in terms of set-up time and assembly. From construction materials to HVAC systems, roofing, power transmission, or other jobs, Mobile Cranes can make the job seamless from start to finish. 

​

As a Mobile Crane can be used on different job sites, it's essential that they are well-maintained to run efficiently. We review the Mobile crane's history file, to include records of past load tests, inspections, maintenance, and repairs. During our inspection, we verify that multiple aspects, including the correct load capacity chart, are mounted on the crane, the counterweights are mounted correctly, and that all warning decals/labels are legible. We also confirm the size, type, condition, and construction of hoist wire rope that is installed on crane. At L.A. Crane & Hoist Inspections, we provide clients with a copy of the O.S.H.A / ASME standard inspection report and recommend keeping them in the machine.
