Cranes must be inspected on a schedule and certified to stay legal to operate, and a lapse can shut a site down. Kranes performs frequent and periodic inspections, annual certification, load testing and pre-purchase evaluations for overhead, gantry, jib and mobile cranes of any make, documented to CSA B167, ASME B30 and provincial regulations. Findings come with a clear report, a pass or deficiency list and a quote to correct anything flagged. Tell us the crane type, its location and when it was last certified, and we schedule the inspection around your operation and return your compliance records the same way.
Crane inspection runs on a defined schedule. Frequent inspections check the crane and its rigging at short intervals during normal use; periodic inspections look deeper at structure, brakes, ropes and controls; and annual certification, with load testing where required, confirms the crane is legal to operate for another cycle. Pre-purchase and pre-rental evaluations check a machine before money or a job depends on it. Kranes performs all of these for overhead, gantry, jib, mobile and hoist systems of any make.
The point of crane certification is to keep a site legal and safe, because a lapsed certificate can stop work and a missed defect can hurt someone. Inspections find worn rope, cracked welds, slipping brakes, drifting runways and failing controls before they become incidents, and they produce the records a regulator, insurer or client will ask to see. Kranes inspectors know what provincial regulation and the standards require, so the inspection covers what actually matters rather than a generic checklist.
Every inspection ends with a clear result, not a vague verdict. You receive a written report, a pass-or-deficiency list that names exactly what was found, and — where something needs attention — a quote to correct it, so there is no gap between the finding and the fix. Certification documentation is issued to CSA B167, ASME B30 and provincial requirements, formatted for your safety file and ready for an audit, an insurer or a buyer.
Inspection works best when it is planned around production, not sprung on it. Tell Kranes the crane type, its location and when it was last certified, and we schedule the visit into a window that suits your operation, then return the records the same way. Because Kranes also repairs and supplies parts, any deficiency found can be corrected and re-certified by one supplier — keeping the crane legal, safe and audit-ready across Canada.
