Annual & ANSI Aerial Inspections
Mondak Equipment provides annual and periodic inspections for boom lifts, scissor lifts, bucket trucks, and other aerial equipment.
Annual Inspections for MEWPs, Bucket Trucks & Vehicle-Mounted Aerial Devices
Aerial equipment needs regular inspection whether it is working every day or spending part of the year parked.
The goal is straightforward: identify problems that need attention, document the condition of the equipment, and help keep inspections current.
If we find something during the inspection, Mondak also has the repair capabilities to help address it.
MEWP Annual Inspections
Mondak provides annual inspections for mobile elevating work platforms from manufacturers including:
- JLG
- Genie
- Skyjack
- Snorkel
- and others
This includes:
- Articulating boom lifts
- Telescopic boom lifts
- Electric scissor lifts
- Rough-terrain scissor lifts
- Vertical lifts
- Towable boom lifts
- Other MEWPs
MEWP annual inspections are required no later than 13 months after the previous annual inspection and should be performed according to the applicable manufacturer procedures.
Bucket Truck & Vehicle-Mounted Aerial Inspections
Mondak also provides periodic inspections for vehicle-mounted aerial devices from manufacturers such as:
- Altec
- Terex / Hi-Ranger
- Versalift
- Elliott
- Dur-A-Lift
- and others
ANSI A92.2 provides for periodic inspections and tests at intervals of one to 12 months, depending on the equipment and operating conditions. Terex describes these as the annual inspection process for bucket trucks.
This includes insulated and non-insulated aerial devices.
What Does an Aerial Inspection Look At?
The exact inspection depends on the manufacturer, model, and type of equipment.
Depending on the machine, Mondak may inspect areas including:
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Pumps, motors, valves, and manifolds
- Hydraulic hoses and hard lines
- Pins and bushings
- Bearings and pivot points
- Boom and scissor structures
- Rotation systems
- Platform leveling
- Outriggers and stabilizers
- Upper and lower controls
- Joysticks and switches
- Electrical wiring and connectors
- Sensors and safety interlocks
- Drive and steering systems
- Mechanical wear
- Decals, manuals, and safety-related equipment
- General operating condition
The inspection is about more than whether the machine moves.
It is about identifying conditions that need attention before they become larger problems.
When the Inspection Finds Something
Sometimes the result is simple: the equipment passes and goes back to work.
Other times the inspection identifies something that needs repaired.
That might be:
- A leaking cylinder
- Worn pins or bushings
- Excessive bearing movement
- A damaged hydraulic hose
- Loose or damaged wiring
- A control problem
- A mechanical wear issue
- A structural concern
- A missing or damaged safety component
Mondak can help with the repair instead of simply handing you a list and sending you somewhere else.
That is one of the advantages of having the equipment inspected by a company that also works on the equipment.
Inspection Records Matter
Inspection and repair history become more useful as equipment gets older.
Periodic inspection records for vehicle-mounted aerial devices are required to be retained, and Terex notes that A92.2 requires periodic inspection and test records to be kept for at least five years.
Keeping good records also helps track:
- Previous inspection findings
- Repairs that have been completed
- Recurring problems
- Wear that is progressing over time
- Upcoming inspection dates
- Equipment history
If the same condition keeps showing up year after year, that history can help tell us something.
Which Inspection Is Due?
These are not all the same thing.
MEWP Annual Inspection
For JLG, Genie, Skyjack, Snorkel, and similar MEWPs:
No later than 13 months after the previous annual inspection.
Vehicle-Mounted Aerial Inspection
For bucket trucks and other A92.2 vehicle-mounted aerial devices:
Periodic inspection at intervals of one to 12 months, based on the equipment, manufacturer requirements, and operating conditions.
If you are not sure which one your equipment needs, give Mondak the manufacturer, model, serial number, and year.
We can help determine the next step.
We Can Repair What We Find
Mondak's repair capabilities include:
- Hydraulic repair
- Cylinder repair
- Hose and hard-line replacement
- Pins and bushings
- Bearings
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Controls and sensors
- Mechanical repair
- Machining
- Welding and fabrication
- Hard-to-find and obsolete components
The purpose of the inspection is not to create a long list of problems.
It is to identify what needs attention and give you a practical path forward.
