Crane Inspections

You receive documented crane inspections and lifting tackle inspections that support compliance, identify defects and give your team a clear path to corrective action.

Practical lifting support, scoped around your site.

OHS and insurance requirements demand documented crane compliance, but many sites struggle to keep inspection records current. Without regular crane inspections, equipment can be used beyond safe limits and compliance gaps are exposed during audits.

Crane inspections for compliance

Regular crane inspections are a legal and safety requirement. Zentro inspects overhead cranes, hoists, gantries and lifting tackle, then provides the reports and defect registers your site needs for OHS compliance.

What gets checked

Our inspections cover structure, hoist, brakes, controls, electrical supply, limit switches, emergency stops, runway condition and below-the-hook tackle. Any defects are photographed, described and ranked.

Lifting tackle inspections

Lifting tackle inspections are often overlooked but are critical to safe lifting. Zentro checks slings, hooks, shackles and other accessories for wear, damage and certification status. Failed items are clearly tagged and recorded.

Service FAQ

What is the difference between crane inspections and crane load testing?
Crane inspections review the visible and operational condition of the crane, including structure, hoist, controls and safety devices. Crane load testing applies a calibrated load to verify rated capacity. Both are part of crane compliance and are often done together.
Do lifting tackle inspections include chain slings and webbing slings?
Yes. Lifting tackle inspections cover chain slings, webbing slings, wire rope slings, hooks, shackles and other below-the-hook equipment. Damaged or out-of-test tackle is removed from service and recorded.
How often do cranes need formal inspections in South Africa?
Formal crane inspections are required at defined intervals based on duty and risk, typically annual or more frequently for heavy-use equipment. Inspections are also needed after repairs, incidents or before returning equipment to service.
