Crane Inspection, Load Testing and Certification Services

Fairtex Group provides independent third-party crane inspection, testing, and certification services as part of its Inspection & NDT Division. Our services are designed to ensure lifting equipment integrity, operational safety, and compliance with applicable industry standards for both onshore and offshore environments.

We support clients across the full lifecycle of crane assets, including periodic inspections, preventive maintenance verification, structural assessments, hydraulic system testing, and final certification of lifting components. Our approach emphasizes safety assurance, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability.

Typical applications: Offshore cranes, yard cranes, pedestal cranes, mobile cranes, port cranes, lifting frames, and industrial lifting systems.

What this service covers

Periodic Crane Inspection and Preventive Maintenance Verification

Fairtex conducts scheduled crane inspections including monthly, quarterly, annual, and five-year statutory inspections. We verify preventive maintenance activities, assess mechanical condition, and identify potential safety risks before failure occurs.

Hydraulic System Testing and Structural NDT

We perform hydraulic pressure testing of crane systems alongside non-destructive testing (NDT) of critical structural components. This includes evaluation of welds, load-bearing structures, and key mechanical assemblies to ensure integrity under operational loads.

Load Testing, Calibration and Certification

Our services include load testing using certified equipment, calibration of Safe Working Load (SWL) indicators, and certification of crane pad eyes and lifting points. We ensure all systems meet required safety and performance thresholds prior to operational approval.

Key Takeaways

  • Third-party crane inspection and certification services
  • Periodic inspection programs including annual and five-year statutory checks
  • NDT and hydraulic pressure testing for structural and system integrity
