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.
