If a crane has been struck by lightning or if it is suspected that a crane has been struck by lightning, the following points must be checked:

    Inspect the wire rope. See “General Product Manual for ABUS Cranes”.

    Move the crane and trolley and listen out for unusual noises made by the wheels and wheel bearings.

    Check the crane completely for the correct function. In particular, check hoist limit switches, travel limit switches, overload protection and all the other safety devices. See “General Product Manual for ABUS Cranes”.
