TOWER CRANE INSPECTIONS IN TEXAS

At L.A. Crane & Hoist Inspections, we provide third party inspections for Tower Cranes, as required by the O.S.H.A. and A.S.M.E. Industry standards. Tower Cranes are used to lift steel, concrete, large tools such as generators, and a wide variety of other building materials. A tower crane's load is distributed through the use of a hook that remains suspended from a cable. They are common on a construction site and often rise hundreds of feet above the air. As they can reach enormous heights and far lengths, they are generally used for tall building structures. 

​

Tower Cranes consist of the base, which is bolted to a concrete pad that supports the entire crane, the mast, which gives the crane its massive height, a slewing unit so the crane can rotate, the working arm, machinery arm, and operator's cab. At L.A. Crane & Hoist Inspections, our professional staff will maintain all records and provide the client with a copy of the annual inspection records. We will also offer a full detailed report of any discrepancies found during an inspection of the Tower Crane.
