ICEAGE Parts and Cranes can perform inspections, identify & effect repairs and ensure that your crane is in compliance with all relevant laws & regulations.

Frequency of inspections

The frequency of inspections is determined by the design classification of the equipment, the duty cycles and the working environment.  AS 2550.1-2011 includes a table in Section 7 that sets out the recommended frequencies.  (see table below extracted from AS 2550.1-2011)

The minimum frequency of service on any crane, hoist or winch is quarterly.  The annual maintenance plan would include 1 periodic service, followed by 3 routine services in the year.

Depending on the variables of duty classification vs. duty cycles, working environment and operator competency, ICEAGE Parts and Cranes may recommend more frequent inspections if required.
