Statutory and Safety Inspections
If you came along our website because you are looking for safety or statutory inspections we are sorry. This is not our business. Mevas only provides quality inspections, appraisal and valuation for used cranes and other lifting equipment.
Crane inspection report
Our crane inspection means we would agree with the supplier a test procedure with an operational test. The crane operator from seller would operate the crane as requested by our inspector. Boom will be fully extended and checked for damages, slider wear and if straight. Lift rope and winches are approved for condition and functionality. Swing bearing play will be measured. Engines are checked for leaks and operational condition. Same with brakes and transmission. The technician inspects the crane underside for leaks, steering and brake components, axles and suspensions.
All this comes along with a detailed crane inspection checklist, a set of 50-70 photos and a video if required by customer. Report and photos are provided online to give various recipients access without sending large e-mails.
