Crane_Hoist_Inspection_Checklist.xlsx

This file is an Annual Crane and Hoist Inspection Checklist developed by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland to standardize the inspection and maintenance of overhead cranes and hoists across its facilities. The checklist outlines comprehensive inspection requirements for approximately 206 overhead cranes and hoists located at various WSSC facilities in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, Maryland. The inspection protocol covers eight major categories: structural components, hoist and lifting mechanisms, mechanical systems, electrical and control systems, safety devices and labels, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, general condition and housekeeping, and functional load testing. The contractor must perform thorough annual inspections, provide lubrication to all components requiring maintenance, conduct no-load and rated-load functional tests, and document all findings using the standardized checklist format with pass/fail/not applicable designations. Sealed responses for crane and hoist inspection, repair, and maintenance services must be submitted through WSSC's eProcurement Portal by 2:00 pm on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

The contractor must provide all necessary supervision, labor, service trucks, materials including oil and grease, tools, and equipment to complete annual preventive maintenance and emergency repair services on a time and material basis. Additional services may include oil changes and full-rated operational load testing for cranes and monorails in designated chlorine buildings. The checklist serves as the quality assurance document requiring contractors to tag defective components as out-of-service until repairs are completed, document all corrective actions with repair dates and re-inspections, and maintain inspection logs in accordance with OSHA requirements. This standardized inspection framework ensures consistent compliance with safety regulations and operational standards across all WSSC hoisting equipment.
