4.1.4 Annual Service and Maintenance
According to NEN7506, a hoist must be serviced once a year. This must be done by United Care or another
competent authority. United Care offers you the possibility to have your hoist thoroughly inspected once a
year, through the Periodic Inspection Agreement.
The next service date is on the service check sticker (see the figure on the right). This is always on the hoist,
near the serial number plate. For more information about this you can contact United Care.
The service check sticker indicates the date on which the next Periodic Inspection must be performed on the
Wendy.
Loadings must also be checked every year in accordance with the applicable regulations.
