Overhead crane inspection
The inspection of overhead cranes is a critical aspect of ensuring workplace safety and compliance with international standards. Overhead cranes are widely used in manufacturing, construction, and warehousing industries for lifting heavy loads. These systems must be reliable to avoid accidents that could result in severe injuries or fatalities.
At Eurolab, we offer comprehensive inspection services tailored to the unique requirements of overhead crane systems. Our team of experts conducts thorough examinations using advanced equipment and methods to ensure compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 9431-2016 for Crane Design, ASME B30.25-2017 for Crane Specifications, and EN 14470 Series.
Our services include visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), load tests, and evaluation of critical components like gears, motors, and control systems. By adhering to these stringent standards, we provide peace of mind knowing that your overhead cranes are safe for continued use.
