Overhead cranes are found in just about any type of production work, shops, and industrial plants around the country. These cranes are typically used for production and maintenance purposes. However, like all equipment, overhead cranes require a certain amount of care and maintenance to keep them operating smoothly and safely. Overhead cranes are built and designed based on capacity and service duty. Unfortunately, most cranes are used more intensely than they were designed for and require more frequent inspections and repairs.

      Have a question or need to request service? Fill out our short form below, and a Crane Safety representative will get in touch with you.

      FAQ's:

      Does CSAA offer on-site training?

      Yes, CSAA offers training at your site any day of the week including weekends.

      Can I take the NCCCO practical on my crane?

      Yes but your crane will need to be certified by the NCCCO. Contact our training coordinators for complete details.

      Does CSAA provide third party inspections on mobile and overhead cranes per OSHA regulations?

      Yes, we provide annual and monthly inspections for mobile and overhead cranes.

      How can I determine which OSHA regulation to follow, general industry or construction?

      When an activity cannot be easily classified as construction or general industry even when measured against all of the “determining factors,” the activity should be classified so as to allow application of the more protective 1910 or 1926 standard, depending on the hazard. In the case of mobile cranes, the more protective standard is the 1926 standard with regard to operator qualification and certification.

      My operations are considered "construction," what OSHA regulation must I follow for mobile crane operations?

      OSHA developed 1926 Subpart CC that governs the use of mobile cranes in construction.

      What are the requirements to operate a crane in construction?

      Crane operators in construction must follow OSHA 1926.1427 before operating a crane in construction industry. Operators must be in compliance by November 10, 2014.

      Does your company provide on-site inspections?

      Yes! Crane Safety offers on-site inspections, service, and repair of all overhead cranes.
