Crane Monthly Preventive Maintenance is a scheduled inspection routine that focuses on evaluating the condition and performance of key crane components such as hoists, brakes, wire ropes, limit switches, and electrical systems. This monthly check includes alignment verification, lubrication, safety device testing, and identification of wear or damage to ensure safe and efficient crane operation.
