Safe working with personnel construction hoists
Personnel construction hoists are indispensable on construction sites where people work safely at height. Due to intensive use and exposure to dust, wind and varying loads, it is important that these installations continue to operate reliably.
With a periodic inspection, you can be confident that your personnel construction hoist can be used safely and that you comply with the applicable inspection requirements. This helps reduce the risk of unsafe situations, malfunctions and unplanned downtime.
An Independent Inspection
During the quarterly inspection, our inspectors assess whether the personnel construction hoist continues to operate safely and reliably.
In addition, the load limiter is tested once a year using test weights. This allows us to verify that the system responds correctly when the maximum allowable load is reached or exceeded. Afterward, you will receive an inspection report detailing our findings.
Greater safety and reduced risk
A periodic inspection offers more than just compliance with laws and regulations. It provides insight into the technical condition of the installation and allows you to take timely action when necessary.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Greater safety for users and others on the construction site
- Lower risk of malfunctions and unexpected downtime
- Compliance with mandatory periodic inspections
- Clear insight into the condition of the personnel construction hoist
- An independent inspection report
