What is the 'Independent Certified Crane Inspector' checklist for used machinery?

DD-002 · Due Diligence
An independent certified crane inspector evaluates structural integrity, load charts, maintenance records, and safety systems to identify potential defects and verify compliance with OSHA standards.
A certified third-party inspector follows a comprehensive checklist covering structural components, wire rope condition, boom wear, outrigger functionality, and load block integrity. Critical red flags include cracked welds, excessive wire rope wear, hydraulic leaks, missing load charts, incomplete maintenance records, and non-functional load moment indicators. The inspector verifies all safety devices including two-blocking systems, load blocks, and warning devices function properly.
