Overhead Crane Inspection App runs structured overhead crane inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each overhead crane, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see overhead crane compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Overhead Crane Inspection App runs a structured gantry crane inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive gantry crane inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect overhead cranes with structured wire, hook, and limit-switch checks plus defect logging. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Overhead Crane Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps overhead crane inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned overhead crane template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, overhead crane, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the overhead crane.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially wire rope or chain wear, failed overload protection, worn travel wheels, limit switch faults.
For every failed overhead crane item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the overhead crane form. The overhead crane report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Gantry Crane Inspection Cover?
A gantry crane inspection covers 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. Lifting and maintenance teams capture photo evidence on each gantry crane point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the gantry crane round off. So every gantry crane record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Overhead Crane Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Overhead Crane work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Overhead Crane Inspection 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 inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection 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
Overhead Crane checks signed off on paper with no proof the overhead crane was actually checked
An overhead crane inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the overhead crane was actually checked, and whether wire rope or chain wear, failed overload protection, worn travel wheels, limit switch faults were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the overhead crane passed.
Problem
Overhead Crane checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm wire rope or chain wear, failed overload protection, worn travel wheels, limit switch faults were actually inspected
Overhead Crane findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital overhead crane form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every overhead crane check
Overhead Crane findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Overhead Crane Inspection App check on a gantry crane inspection?
Overhead Crane Inspection App runs a structured gantry crane inspection 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. 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 and maintenance teams 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 gantry crane defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for gantry crane work?
Overhead Crane Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed gantry crane inspection 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.
