Use of Work Equipment for Personnel
Work equipment such as cranes, forklifts, telehandlers, mobile cranes with telescopic booms, and truck-mounted cranes are designed to lift goods or loads. When such equipment is exceptionally equipped with a work platform or personnel cage to transport people, additional safety measures are essential. Strict conditions and additional inspection requirements apply to this application to ensure the safety of employees.
Normec performs both the initial inspection and the mandatory quarterly periodic inspection. This ensures that the work equipment can be used safely and complies with applicable regulations.
Inspections Tailored to the Application
During the initial inspection, our inspectors assess whether the work equipment can be safely put into service for transporting people. We then verify during the quarterly periodic inspections that the equipment continues to function safely and reliably.
During commissioning, we also perform an inspection of the load limit and load moment protection using test weights, if required.
Working Safely Under Special Conditions
An independent inspection helps identify deviations in a timely manner and demonstrate safe working practices.
With a Normec inspection:
- You comply with legal inspection requirements
- You enhance employee safety

- You can identify defects before they pose a risk
