Crane / Derrick Inspection App runs structured crane / derrick inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each crane / derrick, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see crane / derrick compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Crane / Derrick Inspection 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 / Derrick Inspection 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 transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every crane record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Crane / Derrick Inspection App?
A comprehensive crane inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect ship cranes and derricks with structured wire, hook, and slewing checks plus defect logging. 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 / Derrick Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps crane / derrick inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned crane / derrick template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, crane / derrick, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the crane / derrick.
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 / derrick item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the crane / derrick form. The crane / derrick 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 / Derrick Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Crane / Derrick work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Crane / Derrick Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Lift OEM and service partner signs off the crane / derrick fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the crane / derrick is handed to lift OEM and service partner. A week later the crane / derrick defect is marked closed. Whether the crane / derrick work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Lift OEM and service partner marks work closed with no verification
Poor crane / derrick fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which crane / derrick partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any crane / derrick action is signed off
Lift OEM and service partner performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened crane / derrick actions linked back to the original finding
The crane / derrick report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting crane / derrick photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the crane / derrick data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Crane / Derrick reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads crane / derrick data that is already days old
Every crane / derrick report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded crane / derrick reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled crane / derrick reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent crane / derrick report format across the estate
Crane / Derrick checks signed off on paper with no proof the crane / derrick was actually checked
A crane / derrick inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the crane / derrick 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 / derrick passed.
Problem
Crane / Derrick 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 / Derrick findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital crane / derrick form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every crane / derrick check
Crane / Derrick findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Crane / Derrick Inspection App check on a crane inspection?
Crane / Derrick Inspection 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 / Derrick Inspection App support for crane work?
Crane / Derrick Inspection 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 / Derrick Inspection 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.
