Their most significant differences from fixed or rail-mounted systems (gantry\/bridge cranes) are their mobility, their operation in variable field conditions, and the increased risk of tipping\/instability as the load moves away from the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular inspections of this equipment by qualified personnel are crucial for both employee safety and legal compliance. This page provides an unbiased compilation of general information regarding the periodic inspection of mobile and truck-mounted cranes to guide businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Their mobility: positioning on different terrains and additional risks during navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Site conditions: ground bearing capacity, slope, and layout may vary for each operation.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Tipping\/stability: The condition of outriggers and moment-in-moment limiters (LMIs) is critical.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Basis and Current Legislation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The periodic inspection of lifting and conveying equipment is regulated under the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment (Official Gazette: 25.04.2013, No. 28628). Mobile and vehicle-mounted cranes are among the lifting and conveying equipment listed in Annex III of the Regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regulation has been updated with the amendment published in the Official Gazette dated 23.12.2025 and numbered 33116. With this amendment, the phrase &quot;accredited inspection body&quot; in the previous text has been changed to &quot;equipment inspection body&quot; in order to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331. According to the information we have, organizations accredited by T\u00dcRKAK under TS EN ISO\/IEC 17020 are considered &quot;equipment inspection bodies&quot; during the transition period until the Ministry makes a new regulation; it is stated that this compliance process is foreseen until 1\/1\/2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, it is stipulated that periodic inspections must be carried out through the OHS-KATIP system and based on a contract approved at least one day prior to the inspection date. Since legislative provisions may change over time, the current official legislation should always be considered for current obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>The Work Equipment Regulation (Official Gazette 25.04.2013\/28628), updated with amendment number 23.12.2025\/33116.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe phrase &quot;accredited inspection body&quot; has been changed to &quot;equipment inspection body&quot;.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The approved contract must be submitted via ISG-KATIP at least one day prior to the inspection.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which cranes are included in this scope?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page focuses specifically on mobile and vehicle-mounted cranes. Our website also features separate information pages for overhead\/bridge cranes and general lifting and conveying equipment; the content there relates to the specific risks of mobile and vehicle-mounted systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Mobile cranes (tracked and wheeled mobile cranes)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Vehicle-mounted \/ truck-mounted hydraulic boom loader cranes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Telescopic or knuckle boom truck-mounted cranes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Lifting systems that operate by changing position in field and construction site environments.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does periodic inspection include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During periodic inspections of mobile and truck-mounted cranes, the equipment&#039;s load-bearing structure, lifting mechanism, hydraulic system, safety devices, and functional operation are generally evaluated as a whole. Inspections may include visual inspection, measurement, functional testing, and load testing. The details of the scope vary depending on the type of equipment, manufacturer&#039;s instructions, and operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Inspection of chassis, boom, turntable and support structure for cracks, deformations and corrosion.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Condition of the lifting mechanism, drum, rope, hook and gear systems.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Hydraulic system, leak, pressure and cylinder inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The suitability of the outriggers and the seating arrangement on the ground.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Operation of safety equipment such as moment-in-moment limiters (LMIs), overload switches and limit switches.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Functionality of brake, lock and emergency stop systems<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Readability of warnings, alerts and indicators.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Static and Dynamic Load Tests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During periodic inspections of lifting equipment, static and dynamic load tests can be applied according to the equipment&#039;s rated capacity. In static load tests, the structural behavior and stability of the equipment are observed while it carries a specific load at rest; in dynamic load tests, the load is evaluated under lifting, lowering, and movement conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicable test load ratios and method are determined according to the relevant standards, manufacturer&#039;s instructions, and the equipment&#039;s rated capacity. For mobile and truck-mounted cranes, conducting the test on a safe surface and under suitable site conditions is particularly important to prevent the risk of tipping. No fixed test load percentage is given on this page; the ratios must be confirmed for each piece of equipment according to the relevant standards and manufacturer&#039;s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Static load testing: structural strength and stability assessment.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Dynamic load test: braking, lifting and lowering behavior under motion.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Test load ratios are determined according to the relevant standard and manufacturer&#039;s instructions.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relevant Standards and Rope\/Hook Criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commonly used standards for the inspection of mobile and truck-mounted cranes include TS EN 13000+A1 (mobile cranes), TS EN 12999 (loader\/truck-mounted crane), TS ISO 4309 (inspection and decommissioning criteria for steel wire ropes), and TS 10116. The current editions and their content may be revised over time; in practice, the most up-to-date editions should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ropes, hooks, and fasteners are critical components of crane safety. Rope inspections typically assess issues such as wire breakage, wear, corrosion, crushing, loosening, and deformation, based on the rejection criteria outlined in TS ISO 4309. For hooks, factors such as increased jaw opening, cracks, deformation, and the condition of the safety latch are examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>TS EN 13000+A1 \u2014 mobile cranes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>TS EN 12999 \u2014 Loader\/Truck-Mounted Cranes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>TS ISO 4309 \u2014 Inspection and decommissioning criteria for steel wire ropes.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>TS 10116 \u2014 relevant standard regarding lifting equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Rope breakage, abrasion, corrosion, and deformation assessment<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Check the hook for jaw opening, cracks, deformation, and safety latch.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspection Period and Who Performs the Inspection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with the Work Equipment Regulation, periodic inspections of lifting and conveying equipment are carried out at least once a year unless otherwise specified.
