A-Frame inspections assess structural members, cross-bracing, ground contact pads, and lifting attachment points for deformation, weld cracks, and corrosion per ASME B30.20 and EN 13155. A proof load test confirms structural integrity, and working load limit markings are verified before the frame is returned to service.

Block lifting cage inspections examine the structural frame, corner fittings, lifting attachment hardware, and locking mechanisms for damage, deformation, or wear per EN 12079 and applicable lifting equipment regulations. Cage tare weight, maximum gross mass, and dimensions are verified against load plate data to ensure safe and legal use.

Drum lifter inspections verify clamping mechanism integrity, structural frame condition, swivel function, and rated capacity markings per EN 13155 and ASME B30.20. A proof load test at rated capacity confirms the device can safely handle full drum loads without risk of slippage or structural failure.

Duct lifter inspections examine the support frame, lifting attachment points, clamping mechanisms, and rated capacity per EN 13155. All moving parts are checked for wear and lubrication, and a functional test confirms the device grips and releases correctly under operating conditions.

Dumb waiter inspections cover the carriage structure, guide rail alignment, drive mechanism, safety buffers, overload protection, and electrical controls per UAE Local Order 26/2000 and EN 81-3. A load test at 110% of rated capacity with full functional testing of all safety devices is required before a certificate of inspection is issued.

Mobile trolley inspections assess the structural frame, wheels and castors, braking mechanism, handle integrity, and rated load markings per ASME B30.20 and applicable materials handling standards. Wheels or castors showing flat spots, binding, or excessive play are replaced to ensure stable and safe transport of materials.

Work basket inspections examine the floor structure, side panels, hinged sections, access gate, lifting lugs, and rated capacity per EN 14502-1 and crane-suspended personnel carrier standards. The basket is load-tested and all safety pins and locking mechanisms are functionally verified before a certificate of inspection is issued.

Fork lifting table inspections cover tine condition, hydraulic mechanism, levelling foot, and rated capacity per EN 1757 and ASME B56. Hydraulic function, stability under load, and the condition of all safety locks are verified through functional testing at the rated working load.

Glass handling unit (GHU/GRU) inspections verify suction cup condition, vacuum holding pressure under rated load, structural frame integrity, and swivel and tilt mechanisms per EN 13155. Units that fail to maintain adequate suction pressure or show mechanical defects are withdrawn to prevent glass breakage and injury.

Glass lifter inspections test the suction cup seal, vacuum gauge accuracy, safety valve operation, and pressure maintenance under load per EN 13155. A timed vacuum decay test confirms the system can safely retain glass panels throughout a complete lift cycle without loss of holding force.

Lifting bracket and pad eye inspections assess weld quality, base plate condition, load attachment hardware, and rated capacity markings per ASME B30.20 and applicable structural standards. MPI or LPT non-destructive examination is performed where required to confirm weld integrity before a formal lift is authorised.

Lifting clamp inspections verify clamping jaw condition, spring mechanism function, locking device integrity, plate thickness range markings, and overall structural soundness per EN 13155 and ASME B30.20. Clamps are proof tested at rated capacity to confirm secure gripping and prevent plate slippage during lifting operations.

Lifting frame inspections assess main structural members, welded connections, rigging attachment points, and rated load data per ASME B30.20 and BS 2853. Any identified deformation, weld cracking, or loss of section triggers immediate withdrawal from service and an engineering fitness-for-purpose assessment.

Magnetic lifter inspections verify holding force under rated load, magnet pole face condition, release mechanism operation, and compliance with EN 13155. The required safety factor — typically 3:1 for permanent magnetic lifters — is confirmed through standardised test procedures before re-certification for service.

Goods lift inspections cover mast or carriage structural integrity, drive mechanism, brakes, safety pawls, overload device, and electrical controls per UAE Local Order 26/2000 and EN 1570-1. Load testing at 110% of rated capacity combined with full safety device testing is required before a certificate of inspection is issued.

Glass frame and stand inspections examine structural members, base stability, restraint straps, and rated capacity markings per applicable glass handling and temporary works standards. Frames showing deformation, cracking, or an inadequate base footprint are immediately withdrawn to prevent toppling and glass breakage.

Lifting tripod inspections assess leg structural condition, spread and lock mechanism, hoist attachment point, and rated load capacity per EN 795 and applicable confined space rescue standards. A functional test confirms stability under load and verifies that locked legs cannot inadvertently collapse during use.

Inspections of other lifting appliances apply the relevant EN, ASME B30, and UAE lifting regulations specific to each equipment type, covering structural integrity, rated capacity, safety device function, and load testing. Each item receives a formal inspection report and certificate confirming fitness for continued service or identifying required remediation.
