RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Thoroughly inspect the crane after assembling it and before putting it into service. Record the condition and
appearance of each of the frame members (I-beam, upright assemblies, leg assemblies), the wheels and/or
casters, beam clamp, and all fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.). Thoroughly photograph the crane from multiple angles.
Include close range photographs of the casters and/or wheels, all labeling, and all beam clamp connections.
Add the photographs to the record. Collect all photographs and writings in a single file. This file is a record of the
crane in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all INSPECTIONS to this RECORD to determine whether the
crane is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the crane unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic
changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup
paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs. If your crane is not painted or powdercoated, touchup paint
is not required.
NATIONAL STANDARDS
This product is a portable A-frame gantry crane (PGC). ASME standard B30.17 (the “Standard”) applies to
PGC’s. You should acquire a copy of the latest version of the standard. Follow all use and maintenance/care
instructions provided in the Standard as well as all other provisions for PGC owners and users. If any content in this
manual is inconsistent with a recommendation or mandatory provision in the Standard, apply the provision from
the Standard. Vestil encourages you to immediately contact Technical Service to report inconsistencies.
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Inspection procedures are included in the most current revision of ASME B30.17. As stated above in the
NATIONAL STANDARDS section, Vestil recommends that you acquire a copy of the most recent revision of this
standard. Apply all use and maintenance/care instructions in the standard. Vestil also recommends that you
contact your local occupational health and safety authority to determine if any laws, regulations, codes,
ordinances, etc. apply inspection requirements where the crane is used.
Inspections and all necessary repairs should be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each
inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Do not use the crane unless every part is in satisfactory
condition. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your crane, contact the Technical
Service department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. Never make temporary
repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts to restore the crane to
satisfactory condition.
A. Before and after each use, including first use, unload the crane and inspect the following components:
1) I-Beam – Examine the beam, especially the lower flanges, for bends, cracks, and other damage.
2) Beam clamps and beam clamp fasteners – Clamp connections are shown in Step 2 on p. 19-20. Verify that
all lock washers are fully compressed. The clamps should equally overlap the I-beam flange.
3) Beam brackets – Look for cracks, elongations around bolt holes, warps, bends, etc.
4) Casters and caster fasteners – Examine each caster for cracks, warps, tears, grooves, pitting, and
significant wear. Push the crane a short distance. All 4 casters should be in continuous contact with the
ground. Confirm that the casters roll smoothly without wobbling or skidding. Make sure that caster
fasteners are tightly connected. Fastener connections are shown in Step 5 on p. 21.
5) Pins – Check both adjustment pins. Pinned connections are shown in Steps 1A and 1B on p. 18-19. Both
adjustment pins should be fully inserted and pin stops should be perpendicular to the pins to secure them
in place. All 4 of the clevis pins should be fully inserted and secured in place with cotter pins.
6) Leg assemblies – Inspect both leg assemblies. Look for cracks, bends, warps, and other forms of damage.
Pay particular attention to pin holes & bolt holes. Look for elongations, cracks, etc.
B. Monthly inspections – Unload the crane and inspect the following:
1) Beam clamps and beam clamp fasteners – Use a torque wrench to tighten each bolt and nut to 50-52ft∙lb.
Examine all of the clamps for damage such as deformations and cracks. The I-beam flange should be
solidly/immovably clamped to the tops of the uprights.
2) Lay the crane over so that the I-beam is on the ground and inspect:
a) Adjustment pins – One at a time, remove each adjustment pin and examine it. Look for cracks, warps,
pitting, and other forms of damage. Confirm that the pin stop operates normally. Reinsert each pin
after inspecting it.
b) Leg tubes – Examine the pin holes in the top end of each leg. Look for elongations, cracks, and other
forms of damage. Reinstall each leg once its inspection is finished.
C. Once per year: Perform a load test. Lift a load equal to 125% of its rated load (capacity). Only lift the load
high enough to ensure that it is entirely supported by the crane. Transport the load by means of your hoist (or hoist
& trolley) the full usable length of the I-beam (dimension E in SPECIFICATIONS diagram and table). Return the test
load to the ground. Perform inspections A (Before and after each use) and B (Monthly). NOTE: Perform this part C
(Load test and a Before & after use inspection) whenever the crane is partially or fully disassembled and
reassembled, e.g. after installing replacement parts.
