Inspection of equipment according to safety regulations
Compliance inspection
Federally mandated recurring inspections (daily to monthly) required on all mobile cranes. These inspections are limited in scope and are directed at safety
Frequent inspections
Fatty or oily lubricant used to combat metal – to – metal engine wear
Grease
Substance that reduces friction between surfaces
Lubricant
Developed by the occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) as part of the hazard communication standard; used as a reference for information on hazardous substances
Material safety data sheet (MSDS)
Federally mandated recurring inspections (monthly to annual) required on all mobile cranes at longer time intervals than frequent inspections. The scope of this inspection is more complex than a frequent inspection
Periodic inspections
Equipment such as safety glasses, work gloves, safety shoes, and hardhat that is designed to prevent injury during maintenance, inspection, and operating procedures
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Inspection of crane structure and attachments to be carried out prior to each usage
Pre- startup inspection
A system that is used to increase service life and minimise unexpected repairs to schedule equipment maintenance
Preventative maintenance (PM)
A classification of various lubricants according to their viscosity as set by the society of automated engineers (SAE)
SAE number
A recording of the actual hours the machine has run. Some manufacturers use these readings to recommend preventative maintenance procedures 
Service meter reading (SMR)
A crane that is not in regular service but that is used occasionally or intermittently as required
Standby crane
The air filter should be replaced…
When the indicator or a visual inspection indicates more than light dust
On air cleaners, the pre-cleaner or dust cup, should be inspected and cleaned at least_____when the machine is used in a dusty area
Daily and more often
The coolant level on a crane should be checked…
Before running the crane
On hydraulic cranes, the hydraulic reservoir level changes dramatically due to the position of the…
