QR Tracking for Overhead Crane Servicing & Lifting Tackle Inspections

Our QR identification tags are applied to registered lifting machines and lifting equipment. Each asset is connected to the records relevant to its own inspection and maintenance programme.

01

Overhead Cranes & Lifting Machinery

For overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes and electric hoists, QR-linked records help organise servicing, maintenance findings, reported defects and relevant inspection documentation.

Ideal for: maintenance managers, engineering departments and industrial operations managing periodic crane servicing and equipment condition.

02

Lifting Tackle & Lifting Equipment

For identifiable lifting tackle and equipment such as slings, shackles, chain blocks and lifting beams, QR-linked profiles help keep individual equipment identification, periodic lifting tackle inspection records, defects and inspection history organised.

Ideal for: safety officers, stores departments and site teams managing quarterly lifting tackle inspections and equipment traceability.

A Smarter Way To Manage Lifting Equipment

Digital Records for Every Registered Lifting Asset

Traditional maintenance often relies on paperwork, separate inspection reports and information that can be difficult to retrieve when it is needed.

AC Crane Maintenance brings equipment identification, inspection findings and maintenance history together through a QR-based digital asset management system.

Each registered crane, hoist or lifting tackle item is linked to its own digital profile. Authorised users can access relevant service history, inspection records, defects and supporting documentation.

For businesses operating multiple cranes or large quantities of lifting tackle, this improves equipment traceability and helps maintenance and safety teams make better-informed decisions.
