A short time back it was discussed about the option to hold another Boom Inspection class followed with a Physical inspection class.

Boom Inspector was interested and I forget who else was

We are proposing a class For June 7-10

With a Physical Inspection class imediatly following June 11-16

I will need a Min of 4 Students to participate.

Please let me know if you are interested

woodsa@putzam.com or reply on the post either way is fine

This will be a great oppertunity to get the class completed even if you only need to come for the Physical part to follow up what is already done.

In the best interest of our industry you can pencil me in for this class,Putzmeister along with your expert advise in teaching inspection techniques I feel is a very worthwhile credential for me and the industry.Lets have a show of hands and get this done.*raises hand*

Does the boom inspection class also train how to inspect the outriggers that hold water and on some pumps the main frame ?

Rusty22. Good question, When we do a “boom Inspection” on a Putzmeister it is a complete visual inspection of the unit from the frame of the truck to the tip of the boom. This includes testing for cracks and measuring pin tolerances as well as ultrasonic testing. Due to the outriggers on some pumps being water tanks, Yes it is important to thoroughly inspect them. Ultrasonic testing for wall thickness and visual inspection techniques are displayed. This is also true for the Main pedestal some of them are Hydraulic and water tanks and need to be inspected. So Yes the boom and the entire supporting structure is inspected.
