Common failures & inspection points

Brake wear, contamination, or poor adjustment causes load creep, excessive lowering speed, or inability to hold the suspended craft
Wire rope, sheave, drum, bearing, or hook wear from corrosion and load cycling produces broken wires, noise, poor reeving, or increased play
Hydraulic or electrical drive faults cause slow movement, failed recovery, or inability to slew or luff where those functions are fitted
Limit switch, interlock, release, or remote-control faults can prevent launching/recovery sequences or cause nuisance stops
Structural corrosion, cracked welds, loose foundations, or seized pivots from weather exposure can impair safe movement and load support

Service & Maintenance

Inspect structure, foundations, falls, sheaves, winch, brake, hooks and releases, limit devices, hydraulic/electrical drives, lubrication, corrosion, and emergency/manual operation. Testing, dynamic loads, brake settings, and release maintenance must follow SOLAS, class, flag, and manufacturer requirements.
