FAQ

Common questions

How often must lifting equipment be inspected?

Intervals are set by the applicable regulations, the manufacturer's instructions and the conditions of use. Thorough examinations are commonly required every six or twelve months, depending on the equipment, and after any repair or incident that may affect safety.

What happens if a defect is found?

The inspector records the defect and its severity in the report. Equipment with a defect that makes it unsafe is identified as not fit for use, and the owner is informed immediately.
