Lifting Equipment FAQs
Lifting equipment must be inspected regularly to ensure it remains safe for use. In most cases, a thorough examination is required at least every 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of equipment and how it is used. For example, lifting accessories like slings and chains should be inspected every 6 months, while other lifting equipment, such as cranes or hoists, may require annual inspections. Always follow local regulations and manufacturer guidelines to determine the exact inspection frequency.
