19.9 Second-hand imported (overseas) mobile cranes

The importance of the maintenance history of second-hand imported mobile cranes from overseas cannot be underestimated. Before a second-hand imported mobile crane can be operated for the first time, the owner of the crane must ensure the crane is subject to an annual inspection, or a 10-year major inspection if the crane is at least 10 years old.
