CheckApp for Daily Inspections

 

Digitalize your daily inspections

Konecranes CheckApp for Daily Inspections is an easy-to-use app for crane users to quickly and easily record their findings when performing pre-shift and/or pre-lift inspections.

 

 

You can manage your team's usage of CheckApp on the yourKONECRANES customer portal. Inspection results can be viewed on the portal providing you with an audit trail of daily inspections. The information can also help you recognize potential asset-specific safety or production risk issues and identify workplace improvement opportunities and operator training needs.

Inspections key safety practice

The most important reason to perform daily inspections is safety. Even with regular inspections and maintenance, issues can arise for a variety of reasons including continuous or heavy use, operator behavior, overloads and more. A daily inspection helps you spot obvious damage, excessive wear or other deficiencies and lets you know that the crane is working correctly before a load is lifted.

Daily inspections required in many countries

Caterpillar quoteThe daily inspection is a user’s (or crane operator’s) own assessment of the condition of an asset and environment for safe use. It is not an expert’s examination of the condition of an asset or component. Daily inspections are a statutory requirement in several countries and good practice to follow for the safe use of lifting equipment. Konecranes CheckApp for Daily Inspections follows the guidance set in the ISO 9927 standard and in applicable statutory regulations.
