Hoist and Crane Inspection and Service

Depending on the duty cycle and environment of your equipment, OSHA 1910.179 and ANSI B30-16 (ASME B30.16) regulations state that your hoists must be inspected, at a minimum, annually. According to Section 16-2.1.1 certain circumstances will require monthly and even weekly examinations. ~ www.osha.gov/index.html

Walco's technicians are certified Overhead Carne/Hoist and Rigging Operators through the Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau in Orlando, FL. ~ www.cicb.com
