The interval between each frequent and periodic inspection may vary depending on its duty class. To determine the frequency of these two types of inspections, you must identify the duty class of the lifting equipment (Class A to F) and refer to the CSA B167-16 standard (section 6.4.1 for frequent inspections and section 6.5.1.1 for periodic inspections).
Additionally, the inspection frequency should also take into account the actual duty class of the lifting device, which may differ from the class for which it was originally designed.

Increasing the capacity of an overhead crane involves more than just replacing the hoist. The entire system must be evaluated to ensure that every component can handle the increased load. Here are the main elements to check:
In some cases, a well-planned modification can eliminate the need to purchase a new crane. In others, the costs or risks associated with the upgrade may be too high. An inspection can sometimes help determine whether an upgrade is feasible or if replacement is the better option.
Our recommendation: Before making any decisions, have your system (crane and runway) evaluated by a qualified engineer.
