Inspections

OSHA and ANSI require yearly inspections - Idaho Material Handling inspects, load tests and certifies all types of cranes to allow code compliance

• OSHA annual 1910.179
• ANSI B.30
• Runways and rails
• Bridges
• Hoists and trolleys
• Pendants and controls
• Hooks and blocks
• Load testing
