What is a crane?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overhead cranes are crane equipment. They are used, among others, in the steel industry, construction or manufacturing plants. They are used to transport materials that are usually heavy. Their mode of operation and use requires all systems and components of the equipment to be in good working order. The smallest fault or malfunction can result in the immobilisation of equipment and disruption to the work in progress. In order to avoid such situations, or to ensure that they do not occur frequently, the inspection of overhead cranes should be entrusted to proven professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n

Overhead cranes are machines that are subject to technical supervision. They must only be used in accordance with their intended use and the instructions for use. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the equipment is properly maintained.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often to carry out maintenance checks on cranes?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The requirements for proper maintenance of equipment are described in two laws. The Ordinance of the Minister of Economy on the procedure for verifying the qualifications required for the operation and maintenance of technical equipment and the Ordinance of the Minister of Enterprise and Technology on the technical conditions for technical supervision in the operation, repair and modernisation of handling equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter specifies the required frequency of maintenance inspections of the machinery. General-purpose cranes that are equipped with manual drive of all mechanisms should be maintained at least once every 3 months. Those with power drive and special purpose - not less than once every 30 days, unless the manufacturer has recommended more frequent maintenance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can carry out maintenance inspections of cranes?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance inspections of cranes may only be carried out by persons who have the required UDT authorisations. All activities must be performed in accordance with the operating instructions and in accordance with the time limit. The activities performed during the inspection must be written down in the crane maintenance log. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
