Regular equipment inspections ensure that hoist parts, cranes, clamps and other components are in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) high safety standards.

OSHA inspection services
When parts are in good working order they can also add to productivity and overall output. Here at Atlantic Hoist and Crane we offer OSHA inspections, training classes for operator safety, and maintenance inspections so we are keyed into the topic

A hook is designed to hold a load in a particular and precise direction. When the weight isn’t supported as intended by the hook, it compromises the internal integrity of the hook and can increase the chance of it bending, stretching, or cracking. The load can also slip off of the hook if it stretches out the throat opening.
