What is included in lifting equipment checks?

Regular lifting equipment checks help businesses identify worn, damaged or defective equipment before it affects workplace safety or day-to-day operations.

Crane Care inspects a wide range of lifting equipment and accessories, including:

  • Shackles and lifting attachments
  • Anchor points
  • Harnesses and lanyards
  • Vacuum lifters
  • Slings and rigging equipment
  • Mechanical lifting devices
  • Fall protection equipment

Following the inspection, Crane Care provides clear documentation outlining the condition of the equipment and any recommended repairs, replacements or further testing.

Load testing of lifting equipment

Crane Care provides load testing of lifting equipment to confirm that equipment performs correctly and remains suitable for service.

Load testing may be required following repairs, modifications or as part of a scheduled inspection and compliance program. Our technicians assess the equipment under controlled conditions and record the results for ongoing maintenance and safety documentation. Regular lifting equipment checks combined with appropriate load testing help businesses reduce operational risk and maintain confidence in their lifting systems.

Rigging gear inspections and certification

Rigging equipment requires regular inspection because wear, deformation and damage can affect its lifting capacity and safe operation.

Crane Care inspects shackles, slings and associated lifting accessories to identify signs of deterioration or damage. Where required, inspection records can help businesses keep their rigging gear certified and maintain clear equipment histories. Keeping rigging gear certified also supports safer lifting practices and makes it easier to manage equipment across multiple sites or work areas.

Vacuum lifter inspections

Vacuum lifters rely on secure lifting components, controls and suction systems to handle loads safely. Regular inspection helps identify wear, leaks or faults that may affect lifting performance. Crane Care inspects vacuum lifters as part of broader lifting equipment checks and can recommend servicing, repair or further testing where required.
