The picker got looked over. The slings got looked over. Nobody wrote it down properly, or it went on a paper checklist that is now in a folder in a truck that got sold. What gets cited is not the worn sheave — it is the missing record and the inspection that quietly went a month past due. This logs every crane and rigging inspection signed, dated and retained, and tells you what falls due next.
One-time purchase. No subscription. No account. Works offline.
A monthly crane inspection carries a 30-day interval, an annual and a rigging periodic carry twelve months. Log one and the next due date is set for you. Anything overdue or falling due inside a fortnight sits at the top of the status screen in red or amber, per unit and per inspection type.
A signature pad that takes a finger on a phone or a stylus on a tablet, with the printed name and title beside it, and a typed-name fallback when a glove will not cooperate. The signature prints on the record. A record nobody signed is the one that gets picked apart.
Mark an item Fail and it opens a note field on the spot. The record carries the deficiency, the corrective action taken, and whether the unit went back to service, is waiting on a repair, or was tagged out. A fail with no corrective action recorded is flagged until you close it.
Every inspection prints as a one-page record with the checklist results and the signature on it. Export the lot to CSV for your files, or item-by-item when somebody wants the detail. JSON backup and restore so a new phone does not mean a lost history.
Unit or asset ID, equipment type — picker truck, boom truck, service-rig crane, wireline-unit crane, crawler, rough-terrain, sling set — meter hours and cert or serial number.
Date, type, the competent or qualified person who carried it out, and the lease or yard it happened on.
Monthly runs wire rope, hooks and latches, load block, boom, outriggers, controls, brakes, hydraulics and load-chart legibility. Annual adds structure, welds, slew ring, sheaves and drums, relief-valve pressure, electrical, anti two-block and LMI verification.
Wire-rope slings, synthetic web and round slings, chain slings and hardware — broken wires, kinking, burns, cuts, stitching, shackle pins, hook throat, tag legibility and removal-from-service control.
Pass, Fail or N/A on every item, with a note on each failure, the deficiency written up, the corrective action taken and the status the equipment was left in.
Drawn signature or typed printed name, title and company, dated, kept with the record and printed on it.
Each checklist item carries the CFR paragraph it comes from — 1926.1412(d) and 1910.180 for the monthly, 1926.1412(f) for the annual, 1910.184(e)(3) and 1926.251 for rigging. When somebody asks which requirement a line covers, the answer is on the line, not in a binder in the office.
Flags come from what you logged and what the calendar says. Nothing is guessed, and nothing is buried three menus deep.
Oil Rigs Now has served oilfield professionals since 2011. This is an inspection recordkeeping tool, not a substitute for a competent or qualified person, an engineering assessment, a load test, or your written lifting programme. It does not decide whether a machine is fit for service — the inspector does that. It makes sure the inspection they carried out is written down properly, signed, kept, and comes back round on time.
Everything stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is created, and the app keeps working when the lease has no bars.
