Crane Pre-Lift Inspection Checklist

Operating Group : SMO KLO GPO-I GPO-P

Location : Date:

The Crane Pre-Lift Inspection will include, but not be limited to, the following: Y N N/A

1 Visually inspect boom and lattice for any sign of damage

2 Visually inspect crane, rigging and hooks for missing nuts, bolts, pins or keepers

3 Ensure the area around the base of the crane is free from all obstructions

4 Check fluid levels in the engine fuel, water and oil, also check the hydraulic oil level

5 Ensure the engine safety devices, i.e., controls are set

6 Visually inspect all wire rope for damage and correct spooling

7 Check all controls for correct operation, control levers are spring loaded and must return
to the center or neutral position when released

8 Check weight and radius indicator are functioning properly, load chart

9 Start engine and run at idle speed for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the engine to warm up.
While warming up the engine, check around for any sign of water, oil or hydraulic leaks

10 Raise the boom, test the anti-two block and boom kick out functions

11 Lower the boom and check boom tip sheaves, and ensure the wire rope is on the
sheave

12 Report any abnormalities and DO NOT operate the crane

13 On completion of crane operations, lay the boom in the boom rest or away from the
helideck, set all controls to off or neutral, and set the swing lock

Note: Y = yes, N/A = not
