OSHA Inspections

FHS knows the importance of having safe, well-maintained and inspected cranes.

Regular inspection and maintenance will:

  • Prevent accidents and maintain safe operation of your bridge, gantry, or monorail crane through inspections and operator training
  • Avoid unnecessary interruptions in production
  • Ensure peak efficiency throughout your crane’s long life
  • Address potential problems before they become more costly or inconvenient
  • Reduce overhead costs associated with parts, lubricants and tools
  • Reduce downtime by scheduling when production will not be interrupted

What Does a Safety Inspection Include?

Depending on your overhead crane’s duty cycle and environment, FHS can provide periodic and/or frequent safety inspection and maintenance visits. A typical inspection includes the following:

  • A complete inspection of all major components that complies with our interpretation of the appropriate OSHA regulations and CMAA recommendations
  • Full lubrication of all required components
  • Inspection of bolted and welded connections
  • Minor adjustments to both electrical and mechanical components, including but not limited to: limit switches, control systems, brakes and trolley flange
  • Operational tests through full range of functions
  • 24/7 Customer Service Hotline
  • Detailed inspection report along with summary of issues to be addressed
  • Written recommendations for repairs, spare parts inventory, and additional maintenance requirements
