Mobile Crane

Equipment covered by Equipment Inspection & Pre-Operational Check Training.

Mobile Crane

Mobile Crane overview

Mobile cranes combine a road vehicle with a powerful lifting machine, so a defect in either can put the whole lift at risk. This part of the program shows participants how to carry out a structured pre-operational check of a mobile crane and decide whether it is fit to work.

Inspection & pre-operational training topics

  1. Walk-around check of the carrier, tyres and chassis
  2. Boom, jib and boom sections – visible damage, cracks and deformation
  3. Hoist rope, hook block, hook and safety latch
  4. Outriggers, pads and ground conditions
  5. Load moment indicator, limit switches and alarms
  6. Fluid levels and hydraulic leaks
  7. Recording the check and reporting defects
