Which item is NOT typically included in a crane inspection record?

• A. Date of inspection
• B. Crane model
• C. Findings and corrective actions
• D. Next inspection date

Answer: (B)

Crane inspection records are built to show what was checked, what was found, and what needs to be done to keep the crane safe, plus when the next check is due. The date of inspection anchors the record in time and sets accountability. The findings and any corrective actions capture exactly what was wrong and how it was addressed, which is critical for safety follow-up. Recording the next inspection date ensures the equipment is rechecked at the proper interval. The crane’s model, while useful in other contexts, doesn’t illuminate the inspection outcomes or required actions, and is typically handled in the asset registry with the unit’s identification. The inspection file may reference a serial number or tag to distinguish the specific crane, but the model itself is not a core part of the inspection results.
