Complete from ground level through the control station before every shift.
Read the maximum gust at crane top; apply a lower limit for loads with wind area above 1 m²/t.
Act if: gust reaches 72 km/h, the applicable lower limit is reached, or no reliable reading is available.
Confirm foundation ballast is present, correctly positioned and fixed for the installed configuration.
Act if: any block is displaced, loose, damaged or missing. Do not operate.
Check routing, support, sheath condition, connections and reliable earthing.
Act if: damaged, loose, exposed or poorly earthed. Isolate electrical power.
If fitted, inspect stops, track level and clearance, four-end earthing, clamps and supply cable.
Act if: a stop or earth is missing, the track is defective or obstructed, or a clamp is faulty.
Inspect ladders, back loops, platforms, catwalks, rails, ropes and clear access routes.
Act if: access protection is missing, loose or damaged. Restrict access.
Check mast connections, pins, cotters, locks and indicating plates.
Act if: a lock is loose or missing, a connection is deformed or a safety plate is illegible.
Verify ballast position and fixing for the current jib configuration.
Act if: arrangement is incorrect or ballast is loose or damaged. Do not operate.
Check winding, reeving, tension, rope condition and end fittings; retain at least three drum wraps at maximum payout.
Act if: a strand is broken, rope is kinked, flattened, heat-damaged, worn or an end fitting is loose.
Inspect hook, nut or pressure plate, pulley, pins, fasteners and anti-tripping device.
Act if: cracked, twisted, abnormally open or worn, loose, or unable to close safely.
Function-test holding and release without load.
Act if: it fails to hold, releases late, drags or behaves irregularly.
Test holding and release; observe drag and stopping response.
Act if: braking fails or the air gap exceeds 1.2 mm.
Test commanded release and holding with smooth slewing response.
Act if: movement is uncommanded or there is a brake fault, impact noise or sudden power rise.
Check correct function and unobstructed movement.
Act if: seized, damaged or ineffective. Correct before use.
Inspect seals and exposed teeth, remove debris and confirm the tooth surface is greased.
Act if: a seal is displaced or damaged, debris enters the mesh, or noise or resistance is abnormal.
Confirm the powder extinguisher is present, accessible and serviceable.
Act if: missing or unserviceable. Correct before operation.
Press ON, verify the horn, test emergency stop, reset and verify restart control.
Act if: motion does not stop immediately or the horn or start interlock fails.
Test hook, trolley and slew motions; controls must move smoothly and return to zero.
Act if: motion is unexpected, a command is skipped, control does not return, or noise or vibration is abnormal.
Without load, test upper and lower hook stops and maximum and minimum trolley positions.
Act if: a stop position is incorrect or a limiter fails.
Check overload alarm, load and load-moment displays and percentage indication.
Act if: an alarm or display is absent, inaccurate or bypassed. Stop and recalibrate.
Check trolley position, hook height, wind speed, voltage, beacon, sound signal and lamps.
Act if: a safety-related indication or signal is unavailable.
Inspect doors, breakers, display, indicators, cooling openings, moisture and contamination.
Act if: a component is burnt, water has entered, protection has tripped or live equipment is exposed.
Check cab lighting, external warning lights and windscreen wipers required for visibility.
