EOT crane final acceptance and document handover

EOT Crane Document Handover Register

Quick Answer

Before final EOT crane acceptance, collect approved drawings, electrical schematics, BOM and makes list, datasheets, FAT report, load test certificate, SAT report, snag closure sheet, O&M manual, lubrication and maintenance schedules, spares list, warranty certificate, service contacts, and training records.

Missing documents create long-term maintenance problems. The crane may run today, but without drawings, manuals, certificates, and spares data, the buyer becomes dependent on memory and vendor goodwill.
