- (e) 3⁄32” (2.4 mm) for diameters from 11⁄4 “(32.0
mm) to and including 11⁄2 “(38.0mm)

2.6. Wedge Socket

- Verify that the socket and wedge are correct size for
the rope in used
- Check the socket eye and pin for roundness and wear
A pin Keeper should always use with the pin
- Check socket and wedge for rough edges or burn
- Wire rope clips used in conjunction with wedge
sockets shall be attached only to the unloaded (dead
end) of the rope
- Ensure that the live end of the rope is on the straight
side of the socket and dead end on the tapered side
of the socket ( see ASME B30.5 )

2.7. Hook
- Hook shall be discarded where throat opening is 15
% more than original throat opening and also bending

load limit devices, ESD, Alarm or horn
- Check function of load indicator, boom angle indicator for
accuracy

Load Test (if required)

1.1. Dynamic test

Each crane should be given a dynamic test to ensure
crane capacity, dynamic testing should include the
following crane capacity:
- Hoisting and lowering load with 25%,50% and 100% of
Safe Working Load (SWL)
- Swing in range 1800 with carrying load as much 25%,
5 50% and 100% of Safe Working Load (SWL) or as per BKI
load chart table.

1.2. Static load test

The purpose of the static load test to verify that the
structure and other components are still good condition,
the static load shall not exceed 110% of the rated
capacity.
During load test load indicator should be verify with the
actual load.

Inspection after Testing

Purpose of inspection is to verify and ensure the condition of

6 the crane after load test BKI
- Visual inspection such as structure, wire rope, bolted and
welding connection, etc
- NDT for critical area, Hook and Wedge socket.

Reporting

Any defects or deficiencies of the crane found either during

7 inspection or after completed, should be discussed with the BKI
owner/user, and if necessary recommend corrective action.
Report consist of :
 1. Certificate of inspection
2. Check list
3. Finding inspection
4. NDT report and dimensional check report
5. Wire rope test record
6. Load test report
7. Load indicator verification report ( if load test required )
