Crane Inspection and Load Test App runs structured crane inspection and load test inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each crane, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see crane inspection and load test compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Crane Inspection and Load Test App runs a structured crane inspection covering hooks, latches, and blocks, wire rope and slings, brakes and hoist mechanism, load-moment and limit switches, and structure, bolts, and outriggers, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, crane findings live on paper and in chat. A crane fault such as hook deformation or cracking slips through. An audit then means rebuilding crane evidence from folders.
Crane Inspection and Load Test App keeps one record per crane and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each crane finding is tracked to verified closure. Lifting supervisors and appointed persons see crane completion and overdue actions across the construction portfolio. Every crane record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Crane Inspection and Load Test App?
A comprehensive crane inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run crane inspections and load tests with structured statutory checks, calibration evidence, and signed sign-off. Your inspection should include sections for hooks, latches, and blocks; wire rope and slings; and brakes and hoist mechanism, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Crane Inspection and Load Test App
A consistent routine keeps crane inspection and load test inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned crane inspection and load test template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, crane, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the crane.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially hook deformation or cracking, wire rope broken strands, limit switch bypass, brake slip.
For every failed crane inspection and load test item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the crane form. The crane report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Crane Inspection Cover?
A crane inspection covers hooks, latches, and blocks, wire rope and slings, brakes and hoist mechanism, load-moment and limit switches, and structure, bolts, and outriggers. Lifting supervisors and appointed persons capture photo evidence on each crane point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the crane round off. So every crane record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Crane Inspection and Load Test Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Crane Inspection and Load Test work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Crane Inspection and Load Test App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
You find out about a crane inspection and load test problem from a complaint
There is no live view of crane inspection and load test status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the crane is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of crane inspection and load test status across sites
Crane Inspection and Load Test problems surface as complaints, not as data
Crane Inspection and Load Test risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of crane inspection and load test completion and open issues
Crane Inspection and Load Test risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter crane inspection and load test results by site and date
Crane Inspection and Load Test checks signed off on paper with no proof the crane was actually checked
A crane inspection and load test inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the crane was actually checked, and whether hook deformation or cracking, wire rope broken strands, limit switch bypass, brake slip were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the crane passed.
Problem
Crane Inspection and Load Test checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm hook deformation or cracking, wire rope broken strands, limit switch bypass, brake slip were actually inspected
Crane Inspection and Load Test findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital crane inspection and load test form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every crane check
Crane Inspection and Load Test findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Crane Inspection and Load Test issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection finds the same problem on the same crane. The crane inspection and load test issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed crane inspection and load test items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a crane fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The crane fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed crane inspection and load test item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a crane verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Crane Inspection and Load Test App check on a crane inspection?
Crane Inspection and Load Test App runs a structured crane inspection covering hooks, latches, and blocks, wire rope and slings, brakes and hoist mechanism, load-moment and limit switches, and structure, bolts, and outriggers. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so lifting supervisors and appointed persons work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which crane defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the crane failures that matter most: hook deformation or cracking, wire rope broken strands, limit switch bypass, and brake slip. Left unchecked, a fault such as hook deformation or cracking can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so lifting supervisors and appointed persons fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Crane Inspection and Load Test App support for crane work?
Crane Inspection and Load Test App keeps crane checks aligned to LOLER, BS 7121, and OSHA 1926 subpart CC. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, lifting supervisors and appointed persons pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run crane checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Crane Inspection and Load Test App is offline-first: teams complete crane checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So lifting supervisors and appointed persons get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a crane inspection was completed?
Every completed crane inspection carries hook and rope photo, limit switch test note, and thorough examination record, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, lifting supervisors and appointed persons can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
