Crane Care provides 10-year crane inspections across Sydney to assess the condition, safety and ongoing reliability of ageing lifting equipment.
Our engineering team examines structural, mechanical, and safety-critical components to identify fatigue, wear, or deterioration that may require repair, refurbishment, or further testing. We also carry out crane major inspections, vehicle loading crane 10-year inspections and other major assessments where applicable, helping businesses plan maintenance and manage older crane assets more effectively.
For businesses managing cranes that have been in service for many years, a major inspection can provide a clearer picture of equipment condition and help guide decisions around repairs, refurbishment, further testing or future replacement planning.

What is a 10 year crane inspection?
A 10 year crane inspection is more comprehensive than routine servicing or periodic inspection. It assesses the crane’s structural integrity, mechanical condition and key components to determine whether the equipment remains suitable for continued operation.
The assessment can identify issues such as fatigue, corrosion, cracking, excessive wear, and other age-related deterioration that may not be apparent during routine maintenance. Following the inspection, Crane Care provides clear reporting and practical recommendations for any repairs, refurbishment, testing or component replacement that may be required.
Understanding major crane inspection requirements
Major inspections help businesses make informed decisions about ageing lifting equipment and plan maintenance before faults become more serious. Depending on the crane type, operating history and condition, the assessment may include detailed structural evaluation, mechanical inspection and testing of critical components.
Crane Care can also assist with mobile crane 10 year major inspections where applicable and vehicle loading crane 10 year inspections, providing an assessment suited to the equipment and its operating environment.
Why major assessments matter
As cranes age, fatigue and wear can develop in components exposed to repeated lifting cycles and demanding conditions.
A crane major inspection gives businesses a clearer understanding of the equipment’s condition, helping them prioritise repairs, plan future maintenance, and reduce the risk of unexpected failure. Early identification of structural or mechanical issues can also help extend the crane’s useful life when repair or refurbishment is practical.

Frequently asked questions
A 10-year crane inspection is generally carried out in accordance with Australian Standards and manufacturer recommendations to assess the structural and mechanical condition of ageing lifting equipment. It helps determine whether the crane can continue operating safely or requires repairs, refurbishment or replacement.
A crane major inspection is the comprehensive assessment completed as part of a 10 year crane inspection. It involves a detailed examination of structural, mechanical and safety-critical components that are not typically assessed during routine servicing.
Following a 10-year crane inspection, Crane Care provides a detailed report outlining the crane’s condition, any identified defects, and recommendations for repairs, refurbishment, or ongoing maintenance. If additional engineering is required, we can also assist with 25-year structural assessments and general overhauls.
