Advanced Paperless Inspection and Reporting System

When you receive a crane inspection report from CCH, you will see how we utilize an advanced interactive web based inspection program to deliver professional inspection reports than can be emailed as PDFs immediately after an inspection. Our crane inspection checklists are driven by the safety and regulatory standards including ASME, CMAA, NEC and OSHA standards. When we perform an inspection the technician records, the details they need about your crane or hoist to make it easy to quote repairs and to note deficiencies, thus minimizing the cost and time of additional service calls. We even photograph the problem areas on your equipment allowing the customer to see deficiencies directly in their inspection reports. Our clear and detailed reports reference the standards that apply to the checklist items and allow equipment owners to easily prioritize repairs and upgrades to maintain safety and compliance.
