Frequently asked questions about lifting accessories
How often must lifting accessories be inspected?
At intervals of no more than one year by a competent person (DGUV Rule 109-017, No. 8.2). Depending on conditions, shorter intervals may be required. Round steel chains additionally need a crack test at least every three years.
Do you also carry out crack tests on chains?
Crack testing is a special test with its own procedure. I keep track of the deadline and tell you when it is due and what to look for when commissioning it.
When must a sling be discarded?
When wear or damage means it is no longer safe. It must then no longer be used. For chains, DGUV Rule 109-017 lists among others: mean link thickness reduced by more than 10 % of nominal thickness or elongation of the outer nominal length by more than 3 % (No. 8.4), plus for example deformation, cracks or fractures.
Who may attach loads?
Only employees who are suitable, instructed and have proven their competence. DGUV Rule 109-017 recommends issuing the assignment in writing (No. 3.4).
How long must I keep the inspection record?
At least until the next inspection (Section 14(7) BetrSichV, DGUV Rule 109-017, No. 8.5).
How much does the inspection cost?
That depends on the number and type of items. You receive a quotation in advance.
