RIGGING GEAR INSPECTIONS

Regular inspections play a critical role in the safety, function and certification of your slings and lifting hardware. In addition, ANSI B30.9 specifies that all slings shall have a documented inspection at least every 12 months. It’s important to choose qualified inspectors who are trained in proper inspection of various types of slings and lifting fixtures. At Fulcrum Lifting, our expert personnel are trained and certified through third-party qualification programs to inspect your rigging gear. We can conduct a range of visual inspections either at your site or at our facility. Using our on-site Pull Test Machine we can repair and load-test slings and hardware. We are also capable of incorporating RFID technology in your rigging gear to enhance record-keeping and overall asset management. Inspections are available for the following types of equipment:

  • Slings – Wire Rope, Synthetic, Chain and Metal Mesh
  • Hardware
  • Plate Clamp
  • Below-the-Hook Lifters
  • Hoists
  • Hydraulics
