Cranes
CSISL is certified to provide the highest level of inspection and certification of mobile, shop and aerial cranes for the construction and general industry.
Our Crane Inspection is regulated under the following Canadian Codes
- CSA Standard Z150 (mobile crane code)
- CSA Standard Z248 (tower crane code)
- CSA Standard W59 (structural welding code)
Our inspectors' unique understanding and experience on construction sites, and in manufacturing settings, allows us to perform Crane Inspections in an expeditious and professional manner. Our organization is certified to CSA Standard W178.1, and we provide certified inspectors as required by CSA Standard W178.2 
Our inspectors will determine the condition of your equipment by making a physical inspection. We will observe functional performance, and provide load testing as necessary. Our staff will prepare an individual Inspection Certification Report for each piece of equipment inspected. All deficiencies if detected will be documented and recorded in a formal report.
A complete analysis by component and by crane is then submitted for customer review.
Our annual inspection and preventative maintenance programs are customized to your corporate and regulatory requirements. These programs will assist you in optimizing the use of your lifting equipment, thereby reducing costly equipment downtime and emergency repairs and breakdowns.
Field proven preventive maintenance methods are utilized on cranes, generating a constant, measurable reduction on overall customer maintenance costs.

Annual Inspections are required every twelve (12) months from the date of the prior annual inspection or not to exceed 1,000 hours of operation beyond the prior annual inspection, whichever occurs first.
Frequent Inspections or Periodic Inspections are required when a unit has been in service for three months or up to 350 hours, whichever comes first, or prior to operation after the unit has been out of service for a period longer than one (1) months.
For Vehicle Inspections, since most aerial equipment is mounted on a truck frame, there are specific regulations that apply only to trucks and truck inspections. It is important to have the truck inspected in accordance with these regulations.
We also inspect and test emergency vehicles, for example, Fire Truck Aerial Ladders.
