What inspections are required for a boom lift on a construction site?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

You need to check the boom lift before using it. That includes a pre-start inspection for any visible damage, checking fluid levels, and testing safety features. A thorough inspection by a qualified person is usually required every three months or as per manufacturer recommendations.

Key points

  • Pre-start checks for damage and fluid levels.
  • Test all safety features.
  • Regular inspections by qualified personnel.

Always make sure the lift is inspected daily before use. If you've got any issues, report them straight away. Regular maintenance helps prevent accidents and ensures compliance with safety regulations. Check your state's guidelines for specific requirements.
