Inspection Techniques

Our inspection process utilizes a variety of advanced techniques to assess the condition of lifting equipment and accessories:

  • Visual Inspection: A detailed visual check for any signs of wear and tear, deformation, corrosion, cracks, or other damage.
  • Load Testing: Simulating real-world loads to ensure that lifting equipment can handle the maximum working load (MWL) safely.
  • Magnetic Particle Testing: Used for detecting surface and near-surface cracks or flaws in ferrous materials.
  • Ultrasonic Testing: Non-destructive testing to detect internal flaws in metal components.
  • Dimensional Inspection: Measuring and verifying that components meet required specifications and tolerances.
  • Stress Testing: Evaluating how well equipment handles stresses over time to ensure durability and reliability.
  • Operational Testing: Ensuring that powered lifting equipment, such as cranes or hoists, functions properly under safe load conditions.

Safety Standards Compliance

Our inspections are conducted in strict adherence to international and local safety standards. Some of the key standards we comply with include:

  • ASME B30 Series(American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards for cranes and lifting devices)
  • ISO 9927(International Standard for crane inspections)
  • LOLER 1998(Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations in the UK)
  • OSHA Standards(Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations)
  • EN Standards(European safety standards for lifting accessories)

Compliance with these standards ensures that your equipment is safe, legal, and ready for use.

Report and Documentation

After completing inspections, Atlas-Trans provides comprehensive documentation, which includes:

  • Detailed Inspection Reports: Highlighting the findings of the inspection, including any identified defects, wear, or damage.
  • Load Test Certificates: Certifying that equipment has passed load tests and is fit for use.
  • Compliance Certificates: Verifying that all inspected items meet the required safety and operational standards.
  • Recommendations for Repair or Replacement: Detailed recommendations if any equipment is found to be non-compliant or in need of maintenance.
  • Re-inspection Schedules: Suggested timelines for the next inspection, based on usage patterns and safety guidelines.

Why Lifting Equipment Inspection Matters

Frequent inspections of lifting equipment and accessories are essential to ensuring safety, preventing accidents, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. Here are a few reasons why regular inspections are critical:

  • Preventing Equipment Failure: Early detection of wear, fatigue, or damage prevents unexpected equipment failures that can result in downtime or injuries.
  • Ensuring Worker Safety: Properly inspected and maintained equipment reduces the risk of accidents or injuries during lifting operations.
  • Legal Compliance: Regular inspections help you stay compliant with industry safety standards and regulations, avoiding penalties and legal issues.
  • Optimizing Performance: Well-maintained lifting equipment operates more efficiently and safely, ensuring smooth operations and extending the life of your equipment.
  • Liability Protection: Regular inspections provide documented proof that your equipment has been properly maintained, which can protect you in the event of an accident or audit.

At Atlas-Trans, we’re committed to helping you maintain safe and efficient lifting operations. Our detailed inspection process ensures your equipment and accessories are ready for the job, reducing risks and increasing productivity.
