Periodic inspections and inspections of the machinery and equipment used in lifting and conveying works should be performed in order to ensure safety and conformity, to protect the health and safety of the employees in these works, to ensure long life for enterprises and to obtain minimum life cycle costs.
In order to achieve this, the necessary legal regulations have been issued. Tower cranes are among the vehicles included in this scope and it is essential that periodic inspections and inspections are performed at least once a year.
Cranes are generally used to lift, unload and sometimes move loads and materials horizontally. The operating system is equipped with a lifting rope, wire ropes or chains and pulleys. Tower cranes have the same structural characteristics.
Tower cranes are systems used for lifting and lowering construction materials, especially in construction sites. In many construction sites, tower cranes are needed to cast concrete, pour molds and transport loads. As the lifting needs of the construction sector have grown, the capacity and characteristics of the tower cranes have improved.
The first construction cranes were used by the Greeks in construction. These first examples are wood. Today, with the development of technology, very high capacity tower cranes are used.
The standards that are taken as basis in the control and inspection works carried out by the competent authorities are as follows:
TS 10116 Cranes - Test and inspection methods
TS ISO 12480-1 Cranes - Safe use - Section 1: General
TS EN 1495 Platforms - Columnar work platforms
TS EN 12385-3 Steel wire ropes - Safety - Part 3: Instructions for use and maintenance
TS ISO 4309 Cranes - Wire ropes - Application rules for inspection and decommissioning
