Workshop Maintenance and Thorough Examination
Helping keep your equipment functioning smoothly and effectively, reducing
downtime and increasing revenues.
Car lift inspections are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment used in auto workshops. Here are some key points about the process:
Inspection Components
Structural Integrity: Checking for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to the lift’s structure.
Mechanical Components: Inspecting the moving parts such as chains, pulleys, and cables for wear and proper lubrication.
Hydraulic Systems: Ensuring there are no leaks and that the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level.
Electrical Systems: Verifying that all electrical components, including switches and wiring, are functioning correctly.
Safety Features: Testing safety locks, emergency stop buttons, and other safety mechanisms to ensure they are operational12.
Frequency of Inspections
Routine Inspections: Typically conducted daily or weekly by workshop staff to identify any immediate issues.
Thorough Examinations: Conducted by a competent person at least once a year, as required by regulations such as the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)13.
Benefits
Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
Compliance: Ensures adherence to health and safety regulations.
Efficiency: Helps maintain equipment performance and avoid costly downtime.
Certification
After a thorough examination, a certificate is usually issued, confirming that the lift meets safety standards and is safe to use2.
