The other day a support arm on my boom broke. so we called schwing and they gave us the name of a welder/boom inspector. A guy named Rudy came down to fix the problem while he was here we got a boom inspection. he was very helpful and straight forward. i would definatly recomend anyone in or around texas to use him. knowing he works for schwing makes me proud to own their truck.

John,

Was your inspection current when the support arm broke?

I think Rudy works for Chuck Witte doesn't he? Good company & service.

using your logic........... what difference does it make to you what difference it makes to me?

more to the point..... I am always curious as to how many people actually keep their boom inspections current. Like proper dunnage usage it is one of my personal campaigns to fewer accidents in our industry. It has nothing to do with what type of pump anyone uses.

I just became involved in my fathers company less than a yr ago. he bought a pump because no one had on in town and his concrete company used one enough to afford it. now he has two and looking to buy a third. before now he never had boom inspections or anything, now i'm trying to do things "the right way" so to answer your question no it was not current but we had them done a week or so ago and now are planning on doing them yearly  

"The right way" is right!!!

I hope that you are also using that as a sales tool. Make your customers aware that your operators are certified and your booms all have current certification. If you keep those facts in front of your customers it will help when a 'less than right' company wants to slide in on one of your jobs.

Way to go!!!

Rudy still works for Schwing.
