Safety of your overhead cranes, hoists, and workshop cranes

Overhead cranes, hoists, and workshop cranes are often at the heart of production halls, workshops, and warehouses. Heavy loads are moved daily, making reliability and safety essential. A malfunction or defect can not only lead to dangerous situations but also cause delays in your business operations.

With an independent inspection by Normec, you can be sure that your overhead cranes, hoists, and workshop cranes safe can be used safely and that you comply with the applicable inspection requirements.

From Initial Commissioning to Periodic Inspections

Normec performs both initial commissioning and quarterly periodic inspections. During the initial commissioning, we assess whether the system can be used safely. Afterward, we periodically verify that the system continues to operate safely.

During commissioning, we also test the load limiter and, if applicable, the load moment limiter using test weights. Upon request, we can also periodically check these settings to ensure they are functioning correctly.
