This lever hoist inspection checklist template helps you meet compliance requirements while protecting your team from preventable accidents. It takes you through a systematic evaluation of critical components—from brake functionality to hook deformation and chain wear—so you don’t miss inspection points. 

For instance, ASME B30 requires lifting devices to have proper identification tags, yet many devices fail to meet this. By making this checklist part of your safety protocols, you’ll create a consistent inspection process that takes requirements like this into account. Whether you’re conducting daily pre-operational checks or detailed periodic inspections, this template supports you in providing thorough documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What are the common reasons lever hoists fail inspection?

Lever hoists typically fail inspection due to excessive chain wear, hook deformation, brake malfunctions, missing/illegible capacity markings, and damaged load-bearing components. Regular inspection can identify these issues before they lead to operational failures or safety incidents.

What should I do if I find a defective lever hoist during inspection?

Immediately tag the hoist as “Out of Service,” remove it from the work area, and document the deficiency. Depending on the issue, either arrange for repair by qualified personnel or properly dispose of the equipment if it cannot be safely repaired. Always verify repairs with a post-repair inspection.

Which environmental factors can damage my lever hoists between inspections?

Exposure to chemicals, excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, and abrasive dust can accelerate wear and corrosion on lever hoists. Store your equipment in clean, dry areas and consider more frequent inspections when operating in harsh environments.
