At Mansfield Crane we take inspecting our equipment very seriously as it affects the safety of our crew and our worksites. Every year we take on the monumental internal task of Rigging Equipment Inspections.
Our inspections include carefully examining over 3,000 individual pieces of mostly below-the-hook components. These components include shackles, slings, and spreader bars, as well as additional items. For each piece we check every weld, link, and strand.
Chain slings receive more scrutiny as they are returned to the manufacturer for a thorough inspection and test.
Personal platform bridles are inspected and tested by the manufacturer and the platforms are 3rd party inspected.
After the inspections are completed they are recorded with the original load test and cataloged in the master registry. This register is updated line-by-line and the sub registers are placed in each crane with documents of inspection.
When our cranes show up on a job site, they already have documentation for any possible rigging equipment combination. This work is done to ensure a top-tier level of safety and is added value for our customers.
