There is a legal requirement to do a pre-operational inspection as well as an inspection of the work-site ground and overhead conditions.

The manufacturer's instructions provide information regarding maintenance and inspection, loading and unloading of the crane. The law requires annual and daily inspections. Drivers have to maintain an up-to-date logbook within nearly all regions. They might be required to validate machine warranties.

Adding remote control devices to the cranes is often recommended. Remote control enhances safety by enabling the operator an easier option for handling the crane.
