Our Services

Two core service lines: independent third-party inspections and hands-on repair — everything your aerial and crane equipment needs to stay safe and compliant.

Our third-party inspectors provide OSHA-required annual safety inspections for cranes and heavy equipment. As an independent inspector, we deliver an objective, documented assessment of your equipment’s condition and compliance — giving you everything you need to meet regulatory requirements and protect your workforce.

Every inspection includes thorough documentation. We check structural integrity, hydraulic systems, safety interlocks, load-bearing components, outriggers, and all relevant ANSI/ASME and OSHA standards.

FAQ

What is a third-party crane inspection?
A third-party inspection is an independent safety assessment performed by a qualified inspector who is not affiliated with your company. OSHA requires annual crane inspections, and a third-party inspection provides an objective, documented evaluation of your equipment’s condition and regulatory compliance status — protecting your employees and your business.
How do I know if my crane needs an inspection?
OSHA mandates annual inspections for cranes and hoisting equipment. Inspections are also required after any incident, significant repair, or extended period of inactivity. If you’re unsure whether your equipment is due, contact us at 508-966-0017 and we can help you assess your schedule.
What types of equipment do you repair?
We specialize in bucket trucks, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and hydraulic systems — both routine maintenance and complex hydraulic diagnostics. Our mechanics have experience with a wide range of brands including JLG, Terex, Genie, Nifty Lift, Stellar, Maintainer, and more.
Can you pick up my equipment for repair?
Yes — we offer equipment transport options upon request. Contact us at 508-966-0017 to discuss scheduling and availability. We can arrange pickup and delivery when you’re unable to bring your equipment in on your own.
Do you offer preventive maintenance?
Absolutely. Our repair shop provides both corrective maintenance and scheduled preventive maintenance programs for hydraulic equipment, bucket trucks, boom lifts, and scissor lifts. Preventive maintenance keeps your equipment running safely and can reduce costly emergency repairs.
What OSHA standards do you inspect against?
Our inspections adhere to OSHA 1926 and 1910 standards, as well as applicable ANSI/ASME requirements for cranes, hoisting equipment, aerial lifts, and forklifts. We provide complete documentation with every inspection report.
