The following information is based on REID
Lifting’s recommendations and does not remove
the responsibility of the user to comply with the
relevant regulations and standards that are valid
in the respective countries and regions where the
system is being used.
Regular Inspections
To ensure that the product’s frame remains in
safe working order it must be inspected regularly
by a competent person. We recommend
inspections every 6 months for personnel lifting
and every 12 months for goods only, unless
adverse working conditions or profile of use
dictate shorter periods. The components of the
system frame need to be checked for damage,
wear, corrosion or other irregularities. It may be
necessary to disassemble the system frame in
order to do this. Particular attention should be
paid to checking the profiles for denting, making
sure there is no wear or elongation on the bolt
holes and ensuring that the trolley moves freely
along the beam.
Any necessary repairs should only be carried
out by an approved specialist workshop using
original spare parts. It is recommended that once
inspected or repaired, the device is marked with
the date of the next inspection.
Inspections are instigated by the user. If detailed
information is required on inspection and test
criteria, please refer to your supplier’s technical
department. The equipment Inspection Record
is on page 27.
If using the product in explosive atmospheres,
see additional section titled ATEX.
