Prevent risks before they cause problems

Lifting and material-handling equipment is subjected to heavy use every day. Whether it involves lifting, moving, or positioning loads, a malfunction or unsafe situation can lead to downtime, damage, or accidents. That is why periodic inspections are essential for a safe work environment and reliable business operations.

Normec supports companies with independent inspections of a wide range of lifting and material-handling equipment. We assess whether work equipment can be used safely and complies with applicable legal requirements.

Inspections Tailored to Your Work Equipment

Not all work equipment is used in the same way. That is why we tailor each inspection to the type of equipment, its application, and the environment in which it is used.

Depending on the piece of equipment, we conduct, among other things, initial inspections and periodic inspections. In doing so, we assess, among other things:

  • The construction and general condition
  • Mechanical components
  • Safety features
  • Control and safety systems
  • Wear, damage, and visible defects
  • Available documentation and CE marking

Where applicable, we also check the operation of safety devices such as load or load moment limiters.

Greater control over safety and operational continuity

Regular inspections aren’t just about complying with laws and regulations. They also give you more control over the condition of your work equipment and help identify problems early on.

With a Normec inspection:

  • You enhance employee safety
  • You comply with applicable inspection requirements
  • You prevent unexpected equipment failures
  • You can identify defects before they become more serious
  • You’ll receive a clear report with practical recommendations

This ensures your lifting and material-handling equipment remains reliable and operational.

One reliable partner for inspections

Normec’s inspectors combine technical expertise with years of hands-on experience. Every inspection is conducted independently and concluded with a clear digital report. This gives you immediate insight into the technical condition of your work equipment and any areas for improvement.

This gives you the information you need to continue working safely and ensure the continuity of your organization.
