Equipment Inspections
Properly maintained cranes are essential for safe and productive operations
Inspections are critical factors in reduced maintenance costs and extended equipment life. Operators and entire projects rely on these units to perform structurally, mechanically, and functionally.
With over 50 years of work history, CICB’s true third party Crane Inspections are the most comprehensive evaluations and crane inspections in the lifting industry.
Depending on the governing bodies of our customers’ material handling and lifting equipment, our inspectors, who are employees of Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB), are all trained, competent, qualified NCCCO Certified, and accredited for inspecting cranes of all types including Mobile, Gantry, Tower, Pedestal, Jib, and Overhead Cranes/Hoists, Winches, Rigging, Aerial Lifts, Forklifts, and Earth moving equipment to any standards or corporate policies and procedures.
These include OSHA, ANSI/ASME, CMAA, USACE 385-1-1, AFOSH, NAVFAC P-307, DOE, DOD, API, Loler, and BS7121 Standards and Laws for its annual inspections. CICB is accredited by OSHA in 29CFR Part 1919 for providing Maritime Annual and Quadrennial crane and rigging gear inspections, for those cranes used to load and off load goods for sale in commerce.

Call CICB now to learn more about our training and expert support services.
Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”
This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”
The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career
