Overhead travelling cranes are an essential part of any large factory’s lifting equipment and especially when moving the product / item on to its next stage of production or even for loading a HGV flat bed trailer unit with large heavy materials.

The maximum periodic examination frequency for this type of crane is every twelve months. However, as in all cases for lifting equipment the examining competent person can decide upon whether or not the examination frequency needs to be altered.

This decision would be based on usage, working environments and overall condition etc.
