How often is the annual inspection for overhead cranes required?
2 Answers
The annual inspection for cranes is required once every year. Below is relevant information regarding vehicle annual inspections: 1. Inspection Time: The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle's inspection validity period (for small cars registered after September 2012, the inspection is required once every six years). The inspection should be conducted within three months before the expiration date of the vehicle's registration certificate. 2. Materials: Before the annual inspection, check the validity date of the compulsory traffic insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance. The ID card of the vehicle owner or the agent; the vehicle registration certificate.
Regarding the annual inspection of overhead cranes, I often help maintain the company's equipment, and the safest frequency is generally once a year. Over time, equipment wears out quickly, and critical parts like the boom and hydraulic system can rust or loosen. If not inspected, they may suddenly fail and cause major accidents. I once experienced a delayed inspection, which resulted in the crane jamming mid-operation, costing more to repair and delaying work. I recommend developing a habit of noting the date and scheduling the inspection one or two weeks in advance. The inspection should include structural testing, oil circuit checks, and safety assessments. Don’t skimp on these small expenses—stick to the annual schedule. It not only ensures safety and compliance but also extends the equipment’s lifespan and reduces costs, giving everyone peace of mind. This standard is generally applicable nationwide, with exceptions for special circumstances.
