Does CraneCheck meet OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.1412 requirements?

Yes. CraneCheck's inspection templates are built directly from the requirements in 29 CFR 1926.1412 for construction cranes and 29 CFR 1910.179 for overhead and gantry cranes. Every checkpoint maps to a specific regulatory requirement.

Can my operators use CraneCheck without cell service?

Yes. CraneCheck works offline on any smartphone. Operators can complete full inspections, take photos, and flag deficiencies without connectivity. Everything syncs automatically when they're back in range.

How long does it take to complete an inspection?

Most operators complete a full pre-shift inspection in under 3 minutes. That's faster than filling out a paper form — and the result is a timestamped, GPS-tagged, photo-documented digital record.

What happens when an operator finds a deficiency?

CraneCheck automatically locks the crane from further operation until the issue is resolved. The deficiency is logged with photos, assigned for corrective action, and tracked through resolution. Safety directors get instant notifications.

Can I try CraneCheck before committing?

Absolutely. We offer a 14-day free trial with up to 3 cranes. No credit card required. You'll have access to every feature so you can see how CraneCheck works with your actual fleet and crew.

How does pricing work?

CraneCheck is $199/month (or $169/month on annual billing) which includes 5 cranes. Additional cranes are $29/crane/month. Every plan includes unlimited inspections, all features, and support.

Will OSHA accept digital inspection records?

Yes. OSHA requires that inspection records be maintained and available for review — they do not require paper. Digital records that include the inspector's name, date, equipment identification, and findings satisfy OSHA's documentation requirements.

How do I get my team started?

Sign up for a free trial, add your cranes to the equipment registry, invite your operators, and they can start inspecting the same day. No training required.

Migration FAQ

Common questions about switching from HVI (Heavy Vehicle Inspections).

HVI handles more than just cranes. Will I need another tool?

CraneCheck is purpose-built for cranes and lifting equipment. If you inspect non-crane heavy vehicles, you may want a separate tool for those — but for crane compliance, CraneCheck is more thorough than HVI's generic approach.

Can I migrate mid-contract with HVI?

Yes. CraneCheck's 14-day trial lets you run both systems in parallel. When you're ready to switch, cancel HVI at your next renewal.

Is CraneCheck cheaper than HVI?

For crane-focused teams, typically yes. HVI charges per-vehicle and per-user, which adds up fast. CraneCheck is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users and equipment.

Will my OSHA documentation transfer?

All imported inspection records maintain their dates and findings, so your compliance history is preserved. CraneCheck's OSHA report format is also accepted by auditors.
