Lifting equipment inspection is a crucial process designed to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of various devices used for lifting and moving heavy loads in industrial settings. This includes equipment such as cranes, hoists, forklifts, and elevators, among others. The inspection is typically carried out by trained and certified inspectors who assess the equipment’s condition and performance to identify any potential defects, wear and tear, or deviations from safety standards.

This is a systematic and detailed examination of the equipment and safety-critical parts, carried out at specified intervals by a competent person who must then complete a written report.
