Lifting equipment thorough examination (crane, hoist, slings, tail lift)
The examination is the law. The rope and brake are conditions you can measure between examinations, and a cycle counter tells you when to bring the examination forward, never when to push it back.
What does lifting equipment thorough examination (crane, hoist, slings, tail lift) involve?
Lifting equipment thorough examination (crane, hoist, slings, tail lift) checks: load cycle count and peak loads, wire rope diameter and broken wire count, brake holding test result, hook throat opening. Observed by load monitoring and cycle counting on the crane; competent person examination. Thorough examination at six months for equipment lifting people or lifting accessories and twelve months for other lifting equipment is set by LOLER regulation 9 in the UK; registered plant and periodic inspection rules apply under Australian state regulations and OSHA 1910.179 in the US.
- Condition that replaces the interval
- Partly. Load cells and cycle counters on cranes and hoists give a running record of loads and duty; the thorough examination by a competent person stays on its statutory interval.
- Reading that proves it
- Load cycle count and peak loads, wire rope diameter and broken wire count, brake holding test result, hook throat opening
- Why the interval stays
- Thorough examination at six months for equipment lifting people or lifting accessories and twelve months for other lifting equipment is set by LOLER regulation 9 in the UK; registered plant and periodic inspection rules apply under Australian state regulations and OSHA 1910.179 in the US.
- Evidence an auditor accepts
- Thorough examination report per item with the next examination date, and the pre-use check record
- First move
- List every lifting accessory (slings, shackles, chain blocks) by serial number; the examination covers each one, and a missing one is a finding.
