In some countries, owners of powered rope and chain hoists are obliged by regulations to check them at least once per year. According to the relevant regulations, in Germany BGV D 8, para. 23 and para. 23a, as well as BGV D 6, para. 26, the used share of the theoretical duration of service must be determined and documented.
How you can achieve safe working periods
When the safe working periods (S.W.P.) are continuously determined and any required general overhauls (GO) are carried out by our Jack Haul Service, you can be certain to have a reliable overview of the remaining duration of service of your installation. Safety comes first in materials handling installations. However, ageing and wear may result in considerable risks in the course of time. You can effectively prevent such hazards by means of diligent checks.
If you are responsible for safety, you should always know the following for every one of your hoists:
- what loads the hoist has been subjected to,
- how much work it can still do.
Our service tool Safe Working Periods(brief: S.W.P.) considerably facilitates this task. This software for commercially available Windows PCs gives you an overview of the remaining duration of service of your hoist units.
- Up-to-date information about the remaining duration of service
