Lifting equipment (cranes, slings, hoists, shackles, hooks, etc.) are critical assets in many industries — but they are also potential sources of high-consequence failures if misused or inadequately inspected.
Key risks:
- Fatigue cracks, deformations, corrosion, wear on cables or ropes
- Incorrect or sub-standard components
- Overload beyond rated capacity
- Improper maintenance or use
Standards & certifications:
International and industry standards require regular inspection, load testing, and certification of lifting gear. For example, accredited bodies conduct type tests, factory tests, periodic tests, and periodic re-certification.
Benefits of professional inspection & certification:
- Enhanced safety for personnel and equipment
- Compliance with legal and industry standards
- Increased lifecycle and reliability of lifting equipment
- Decreased downtime and unexpected failures
