Overhead Crane Audit App turns overhead crane audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each overhead crane against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare overhead crane audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Overhead Crane Audit App runs a scored gantry crane audit covering hook, block, and safety latch, wire ropes or chains and reeving, long-travel and cross-travel wheels, limit switches and overload protection, and festoon, cabling, and pendant controls, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, gantry crane findings live on paper and in chat. A gantry crane fault such as wire rope or chain wear slips through. An audit then means rebuilding gantry crane evidence from folders.
Overhead Crane Audit App keeps one record per gantry crane and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each gantry crane finding is tracked to verified closure. Lifting and maintenance teams see gantry crane completion and overdue actions across the manufacturing portfolio. Every gantry crane record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in an Overhead Crane Audit App?
A comprehensive gantry crane audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit overhead crane operations with structured scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for hook, block, and safety latch; wire ropes or chains and reeving; and long-travel and cross-travel wheels, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Overhead Crane Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run an overhead crane audit:
Open the overhead crane audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each overhead crane against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall overhead crane score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed overhead crane criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the overhead crane audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Gantry Crane Audit Cover?
A gantry crane audit scores condition against LOLER thorough examination and BS EN 15011 crane standards, checking hook, block, and safety latch, wire ropes or chains and reeving, long-travel and cross-travel wheels, limit switches and overload protection, festoon, cabling, and pendant controls, and runway beam, end stops, and structure. Each gantry crane finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the gantry crane audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Overhead Crane Audit App Scores an Overhead Crane Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the overhead crane audit template.

What Overhead Crane Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Overhead Crane work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Overhead Crane Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Overhead Crane issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same overhead crane. The overhead crane issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed overhead crane items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on an overhead crane fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The overhead crane fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed overhead crane item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs an overhead crane verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Overhead Crane data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some overhead crane records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the overhead crane, so every overhead crane question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Overhead Crane records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the overhead crane record
Answering a simple overhead crane question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every overhead crane check and finding
Every overhead crane photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or overhead crane and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the overhead crane audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The overhead crane audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Overhead Crane scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Overhead crane sections get skipped with no record
Overhead Crane scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted overhead crane criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory overhead crane sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable overhead crane scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Overhead Crane Audit App check on a gantry crane audit?
Overhead Crane Audit App runs a scored gantry crane audit against LOLER thorough examination and BS EN 15011 crane standards, checking hook, block, and safety latch, wire ropes or chains and reeving, long-travel and cross-travel wheels, limit switches and overload protection, and festoon, cabling, and pendant controls. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for lifting and maintenance teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which gantry crane defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the gantry crane failures that matter most: wire rope or chain wear, failed overload protection, worn travel wheels, and limit switch faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as wire rope or chain wear 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 and maintenance teams 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 Overhead Crane Audit App support for gantry crane work?
Overhead Crane Audit App keeps gantry crane checks aligned to LOLER thorough examination and BS EN 15011 crane standards. 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 and maintenance teams 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 gantry crane checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Overhead Crane Audit App is offline-first: teams complete gantry 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 and maintenance teams 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 gantry crane audit was completed?
Every completed gantry crane audit carries rope or chain condition photo, overload test note, and runway and end-stop photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, lifting and maintenance teams 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.
