Load Train Visual Inspection Suggestions 9
4.0 Load Train Visual Inspection Suggestions
• Always visually inspect scale load bearing components before using.
• Check for distortion such as bends, twists and spread.
• Inspect for wear such as peening, nicks, gouges, cracks, corrosion and thread
damage.
• Magnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant crack detection of all components of the load
train assembly should be conducted annually. If the crane scale hook, shackle or
lifting eye are painted, visual inspection should take this coating into
consideration. Surface variations can disclose evidence of heavy or severe use
that requires more detailed analysis. The surface condition may, in such
instances, call for stripping the paint.
• Annual inspection of the load sensor by an Authorized MSI Distributor is
strongly recommended.
