Why an inspection is important

A gantry lift truck is used daily to move heavy loads. Due to the intensive use, it is important that the machine continues to operate safely. Regular inspections help identify risks in a timely manner and contribute to a safe work environment.

In addition, periodic inspections are required by law. By having your gantry lift truck inspected on time, you comply with applicable regulations and prevent minor defects from turning into major problems. Normec performs both the initial inspection upon commissioning and the periodic inspections.

Technical Condition of Your Gantry Lift Truck 

Before a gantry lift truck is put into service, our inspectors assess whether the machine can be operated safely. After the initial commissioning, we conduct a periodic inspection every three months.
