The Right Approach for Your Situation
Telehandlers, stackers, and forklifts are indispensable tools in warehouses, production environments, distribution centers, and on construction sites. However, the same legal requirements do not apply to every application. The way a machine is used determines which inspection or certification is required.
Is a telehandler or forklift used for lifting loads or transporting people? If so, an initial inspection and periodic inspections by a certified inspection company are required. If the equipment is used exclusively for internal transport, different rules apply.
Normec helps you determine the correct inspection approach for your situation.
Both Initial Commissioning and Periodic Inspections
Every organization uses telehandlers and forklifts differently. That’s why our inspectors look not only at the equipment itself but also at how it’s used. When a statutory inspection is required, we perform both the initial inspection and periodic inspections.
Is your forklift or telehandler used exclusively for internal transport? Even in that case, an independent inspection can be valuable. It provides insight into the technical condition of the equipment and lets you know whether it can continue to be used safely.
Greater control over safety and operational readiness
An inspection isn’t just about complying with regulations. It also helps you prevent unexpected problems and improves safety on the job site.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Clarity regarding the inspection requirements for your equipment
- Greater confidence in the safe operation of telehandlers and forklifts
- Reduced risk of malfunctions and unplanned downtime
- An independent assessment of the equipment’s technical condition
- An inspection report with clear findings
Expert advice for every application
Regulations governing telehandlers and forklifts depend on their intended use. This can sometimes make it difficult to determine which obligations apply to your organization.
Normec can help you with this. Our inspectors assess each situation independently and recommend which inspection or certification is necessary. This helps you avoid confusion about responsibilities and ensures that your equipment is used safely and responsibly.
