EOT Crane FAT/SAT Acceptance Checklist
Quick Answer
Before accepting an EOT crane, verify drawings, BOM/makes, workmanship, no-load operation, brake operation, limit switches, emergency stop, overload protection, load test evidence, punch list closure, commissioning records, and final handover documents.
FAT and SAT protect the buyer from discovering missing scope after final payment. FAT checks readiness before dispatch. SAT checks that the crane works safely at site after erection and commissioning.
