Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining and inspecting a dockside container crane includes a framework and a base for supporting thereon a rotatable turret having a telescopic boom and platform member. The base and framework is removably attachable to a standard ISO container, and once attached the ISO container may then be raised by the dockside container crane, via a standard spreader, where an inspector or workman manipulates controls on the platform member to operate the turret and telescopic boom, to position the platform member near a portion of the crane requiring inspection or service.
