LIFTING EQUIPMENT
LIFTING EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
Proof Load Testing and Thorough Examination of Lifting Equipment and Accessories
The regular inspection of lifting equipment is absolutely crucial and should take place at predetermined and agreed times during the working life of machinery. Regular inspections help to prevent the failure of lifting equipment, which can be a potential cause of serious personal injury, significant damage to property and loss of time and money.
