Crane Inspection Program This program will give a unique opportunity to make your crane more efficient, less costly at a reduced risk factor. |

| Annual
or semi annual inspection of your Portal/Rotator Crane. The Portal/Rotator Crane is still a unique system in the industry and each crane is custom designed for your particular operation and climate. For that reason your crane is unique in design, performance and characteristics, there is no other like it. Because of this uniqueness, operating standards, safety and maintenance regulations, inspection schedules etc. are usually not covered in any statutes of national and / or local crane and safety regulations. CMAA standards are the only ones applicable to the Portal/Rotator Crane in design criteria and safety standards. The Portal/Rotator Crane handles and reacts differently than any other equipment on site. It's behavior during high wind, it's braking system, it's wheel alignment, it's hoist characteristics etc. all require special consideration. The components have different wear rates and prediction of a failure is rather difficult at times. In order to predict the failure rate on components and structure it is of the utmost importance to conduct, at least once a year a thorough inspection of the Portal/Rotator Crane. This will give you, the customer, a better tool to prepare scheduled change outs, greatly reduce unscheduled shutdowns and allow for a more predictable operating budget. Portal Crane Parts Ltd. is pleased to offer our Portal/Rotator Crane Annual Inspection Program especially designed for your particular Portal / Rotator Crane and operating conditions. Our unique inspection program is conducted on site for a general duration of one or two days. This includes a comprehensive report of the condition of the crane, recommendations of change out or repairs, complete with guidelines on methods of repair.
