Crane Overhauls & Certified Crane Inspections
Your Trusted Engineering Specialists for AS2550 Compliance, Refurbishments, & Crane Inspections in Australia
Safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance are at the foundation of everything S&S Cranes builds and services. Whether you operate a single workshop hoist or a multi-span industrial bridge system, securing a certified crane inspection in Australia is essential to protecting your workforce and preventing costly downtime.
Over years of heavy lifting, critical components naturally experience mechanical wear and structural fatigue. Our experienced team delivers in-depth safety audits, routine compliance checks, and full machinery refurbishments designed to keep your equipment running reliably.
AS2550 Compliance & Mandatory Recertifications
Standard AS2550 mandates that all cranes, hoists, and winches undergo a major crane inspection in Australia based on their design life and operational usage. If the equipment's design life is unknown, the standard strictly requires:
- 10-Year Mechanical Recertification: A comprehensive strip-down, inspection, and mechanical overhaul of motors, gearboxes, brakes, hook blocks, and wire rope assemblies after 10 years of service.
- 25-Year Structural Recertification: A thorough non-destructive testing (NDT) audit and structural integrity assessment of bridge girders, end trucks, runways, and welds after 25 years of service.
Our qualified engineers manage the entire recertification process, ensuring your lifting assets meet or exceed all current Australian and European compliance standards.
