What we do

Safety Inspections

Portable and stationary work equipment and plant components, continuous conveyors, lifting accessories, hoists, load-handling attachments, ladders, racking & mezzanine floors, pallet trucks and fall protection PPE.

Procedure

How an inspection works.

01

Establish the inventory

You tell us roughly what there is: how many items, which types, at which sites.

02

Agree a date

On your site or at our works. We set the date so that operations keep running.

03

Inspect and label

Visual and functional inspection, measurement where required, label with the next due date.

04

Report and defects

You receive the documentation and a separate list of what must be repaired or withdrawn from use.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Yes. We inspect work equipment irrespective of the manufacturer, including portable and stationary work equipment, plant components, continuous conveyors, lifting accessories, hoists, load-handling attachments, ladders, racking, mezzanine floors, pallet trucks and personal fall protection equipment. Inspections take place at our works or, where the scope is larger, directly on your site. You receive inspection and documentation from one source. If required, we also repair your work equipment.

Either is possible. We have been inspecting since 2015: at our works or, for larger volumes, on your site. With larger inventories, coming to you is usually less effort.

Every item inspected gets a label showing the next due date, and you receive an inspection report for your records. Defects are recorded separately, so it is clear what must be repaired or withdrawn.

The inspections are handled by our associated company Industrietechnik Meuser. You can contact them directly (info@industrietechnikmeuser.de) or send your enquiry to us and we will pass it on. For you it remains one contact and one appointment.

The intervals follow from your risk assessment. The values in our table are the customary guide figures. Under heavy use or harsh conditions a shorter interval may be necessary. We discuss that at the appointment.

Arrange an inspection date.

Tell us roughly how large your inventory is. We will quote for inspecting all of it.
