This comprehensive EOT Crane Equipment Inspection Checklist is designed to ensure the safe operation and structural integrity of Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) cranes. It provides a standardized pre-operational inspection process to identify potential hazards and confirm compliance with established safety standards and best practices. The checklist covers critical inspection points, including structural and load-bearing components, lifting gear and accessories, the hook and safety latch, electrical and control systems, operator and safety devices, and performance and access. It emphasizes the importance of verifying the machine's physical condition, the validity of Third-Party Inspection (TPI) certificates, and the clear display of the Safe Working Load (SWL). Users are guided to inspect wire slings for damage, ensure the hook latch functions correctly, and check power cables and remote controls for defects. The checklist also mandates testing audible horns and verifying operator qualifications. A key aspect is the performance test, including a deflection test under load, and confirming safe access and egress to operational areas. All identified defects must be reported and rectified before the crane is put into service. This document serves as a minimum requirement, with additional checks potentially needed based on specific crane models and operating environments. It references relevant national safety standards for lifting equipment and manufacturer's operation and maintenance manuals. Ideal for Crane Operators, Riggers, Site Supervisors, Safety Officers, HSE Managers, and Maintenance Personnel.
