Setup Questions & Answers
Can I import existing crane data?
Yes! You can bulk import your equipment registry via CSV upload or manually add each crane. Our support team can help with data migration from existing systems.
How long does setup actually take?
Most companies are up and running in under 15 minutes. The longest part is usually entering your equipment details, but even that's optional—you can add cranes as you inspect them.
Do I need technical skills?
Not at all. CraneCheck is designed for crane operators and safety managers, not IT experts. If you can use a smartphone, you can use CraneCheck.
What if I need help during setup?
Our support team is available via chat, email, or phone during business hours. We also offer free onboarding calls to walk through setup with your team.
