How a Crane Advisory Engagement Works
Scope and fee are agreed before work starts. Every review follows the same steps and ends in a written recommendation you can act on.
How CAG Reaches a Recommendation
- 01
Understand the Application
Operating environment, crane duty, process requirements, production impact and business objectives.
- 02
Review the Information
Specifications, proposals, inspection reports, maintenance history, quotations and available technical documentation.
- 03
Identify Risk and Gaps
Scope omissions, technical conflicts, lifecycle concerns, commercial exposure and unclear responsibilities.
- 04
Compare the Options
Performance, maintainability, implementation risk, lifecycle value and total cost implications.
- 05
Provide a Clear Recommendation
A practical, documented recommendation the client can use to make a decision or move the project forward.
What the Client Receives
Technical Review Summary
Plain-language findings and decision points.
Bid Comparison
A structured comparison of supplier proposals and scope differences.
Risk and Gap Register
Missing information, exclusions, conflicts and commercial risks.
Maintenance Strategy
Priorities, intervals, responsibilities and follow-up actions.
Modernization Assessment

CAG Works for the Client
No Equipment Sales
CAG does not sell cranes, components or control systems.
No Service-Contract Incentive
CAG does not profit from inspections, repairs or maintenance contracts.
No Manufacturer Preference
Recommendations are based on application, condition, risk and lifecycle value.
What CAG Does Not Do
- Sell overhead cranes or components
- Sell inspection or repair contracts
- Receive supplier commissions for client recommendations
- Promote one manufacturer over another
- Replace required professional engineering or regulatory authority
- Guarantee regulatory acceptance or equipment performance
Standards-Informed Guidance
CAG reviews overhead-crane requirements with reference to applicable project specifications, manufacturer documentation and recognized crane and lifting standards. Final regulatory, engineering and legal requirements must be confirmed for the specific jurisdiction and application.
- CSA B167
- CMAA specifications
- ASME B30 standards
- Applicable provincial occupational health and safety requirements
- Manufacturer technical requirements
