Regular Inspections
To ensure that the product’s frame remains in safe
working order it must be inspected regularly by a
competent or qualified person. We recommend
inspections every 6 months for personnel lifting
and every 12 months for goods only, unless
local regulations, adverse working conditions or
profile of use and risk 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.
