Overhead Crane Periodic Inspection Scheduler
A free crane maintenance register: last service, interval, due date and overdue alerts — sorted by urgency, stored in your browser.
Your register stays in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is uploaded.
Add your first crane to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
The calendar lines here complement the hour-based service tracker: periodic inspections are about documented condition (hooks, rope, brakes, limit switches, structure) rather than lubrication. Two items deserve their own lines because they have absolute discard criteria: wire rope (ISO 4309 broken-wire counts, diameter loss, kinks) and hooks (throat opening growth >5%, any crack, >10° twist).
Keep the hoist limit-switch test as the first item of every periodic — it's the device that prevents two-blocking, the classic dropped-load event. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Overhead Crane Periodic Inspection Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your cranes: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. OSHA 1910.179 splits crane inspection into frequent (daily-to-monthly, by service class) and periodic (1–12 months, typically quarterly for normal service) — heavier duty means shorter intervals.
How to use Overhead Crane Periodic Inspection Scheduler
- 1Add each asset with its last service date and interval — presets reflect the cited standard, and you can override per asset.
- 2The register sorts itself by urgency: overdue first, then due-soon (≤14 days), with a badge per asset.
- 3Tick ✓ when a service is done to reset that asset's clock to today — the whole register persists in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a crane be serviced or inspected?+
OSHA 1910.179 splits crane inspection into frequent (daily-to-monthly, by service class) and periodic (1–12 months, typically quarterly for normal service) — heavier duty means shorter intervals. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
What counts as 'heavy service' that shortens crane inspection intervals?+
Duty near rated load, high cycle counts, or severe environment: OSHA and CMAA define service classes from standby to severe — a crane making rated-load lifts repeatedly (foundry, steel handling) inspects monthly where a maintenance-bay crane inspects quarterly-to-annually. Classify honestly per crane and set its register interval accordingly; the spec plate's design class is the starting point, your actual duty is the deciding vote.
Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+
No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each crane, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.
What happens if I clear my browser data?+
The register is stored in localStorage on this device, so clearing site data erases it — note critical dates elsewhere or photograph the list periodically if it has become your master record. The upside of the design: no account, no server, nothing about your facility ever leaves the machine you're standing at.
