Elevator (Lifts) inspections are one of the important and common lifting equipment which needs to be inspected periodically every 6 months.
The inspection ensures the essential components of lifts are operating safely and correctly thus making sure our client’s assets and personnel are safe.
Lift inspections comprises of various types of lifts such :
Electric Traction Lifts
Hydraulic Lifts
MRL – Machine Room Less Lifts
Bed (Hospital) Lifts
Panoramic Lifts
Goods Only Lifts
Fireman Lifts
Lifting
Escalators & Travelators (Moving Walks)
Escalators & Moving Walks (Travelators) fall under the same standards of BS EN.
Whether the escalators are steep or moving walks are inclined, our engineers are well trained to carry out Third Party Inspections.
Whenever any additional or new Safety Standards are introduced by the local authorities such as Dubai Municipality Public & Safety Department and/or any updates in BS EN Standards, we make sure to implement the regulations immediately.
Our inspections include technical consultancy to clients to make them aware of recent upgrades.

Lifting
Tower cranes
Tower cranes must adhere to strict safety regulations to ensure the protection of workers and surrounding areas. Regular inspections are essential to verify that all safety mechanisms, such as overload sensors and emergency brakes, are functioning correctly.
Inspection of the tower crane's structure is crucial to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or structural weaknesses that could compromise its stability.
This includes assessing the integrity of the mast, jib, and slew ring, as well as examining welds and bolts for any signs of fatigue or damage.
Lifting
Pedestal Cranes
Inspect the pedestal crane's foundation for stability and integrity to ensure safe operation.
Assess the structural components such as the pedestal, boom, and slew ring for signs of wear, corrosion, or fatigue.
Check the condition of motors, gears, brakes, and hydraulic systems to ensure proper functioning and prevent mechanical failures.
Verify that the crane's load capacity is accurately documented and ensure that it is not exceeded during operation.
Lifting
Construction Hoists
Structural Integrity: Assess the hoist's structural components, including the mast, platform, and support structure, for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage
Mechanical Systems: Inspect the hoist's mechanical systems, such as the motors, gears, brakes, and cables, to ensure smooth and safe operation.
Safety Features: Verify the functionality of safety features such as emergency brakes, overspeed governors, and limit switches to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Electrical Systems: Check electrical components, including wiring, controls, and emergency lighting, to identify any potential hazards or malfunctions.
Load Capacity: Confirm that the hoist's load capacity is accurately rated and ensure that it is not exceeded during operation to prevent overloading and structural failure.
Lifting
Cradles (SAE - Suspended Access Equipment)
Our engineers are fully trained to carry out all types of BMU (Building Maintenance Unit) and TSP (Temporary Suspended Platform).
Cradles play a major role in the building maintenance & construction sites.
Various types of Cradles :
Counterbalance Forklift
Telehandler
Industrial Forklift
Rough Terrain Forklift
Reach Fork Truck
Lifting

Our Safety Inspectors are trained to carry out inspections for all types of Forklifts.
Our accreditations for Forklifts have many Standards covered as there are various types of Forklifts (similar category) such as
Counterbalance Forklift
Telehandler
Industrial Forklift
Rough Terrain Forklift
Pallet Jack & Pallet Truck
Stacker & Walkie Stacker
Order Picker
Reach Fork Truck
VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) Truck
Turret Truck etc.
Lifting
Vehicle Lifts
Vehicle lifts are inspected annually to ensure the essential components are operating safely and correctly to avoid any damages to personnel, vehicles and to the vehicle lift itself.
Inspections are mandatory and very important as there are always people working under the vehicle lifts.
There are various types of Vehicle Lifts as mentioned below.
Two Post Vehicle Lift
Four Post Vehicle Lift
Car Washing Jacks (All Types)
Scissor Lifts
Engine Jacks
Portable Vehicle Lifts (All types)
Lifting
Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)
MEWP inspections are mandatory and should be inspected every 6 months.
Our inspections include major safety components and the stability of the ground.
Safety of the equipment is very important as people are working at an elevated position.
There are various types of MEWP as mentioned below
Articulated Boom Type (Cherry Picker)
Telescopic Boom Type (Boom lift)
Scissor Lifts
Vertical Mast Type
Vehicle Mounted Type
Self-Propelled Type
Lifting
Over-head Cranes
Over Head Cranes are some of the most commonly used types of cranes in industries that have heavy duty operational requirements.
These cranes are used to lift or lower loads as well as to move heavy materials during daily operations.
Safety of the equipment is very important as people are working at an elevated position.
They are inspected annually and few major types such as
EOT (EOT – Electric Overhead Traveling Crane)
Gantry Cranes
Jib Cranes
Lifting
Mobile Crane
Mobile Cranes are extremely useful especially at construction sites but they can also be dangerous if not operated and maintained properly.
Mobile crane inspection tests the safety and functionality of the equipment and it’s vital that they are regularly maintained and inspected.
Most of the mobile cranes fall under these 2 categories :
Telescopic Mobile Crane
Crawler Cranes
Lifting
Chain Block and Lever Hoist
Chain blocks & Lever Hoist are very commonly used portable equipment having a compact shape and they are extremely lightweight which saves the time of mounting.
They are used to lift & lower heavy loads by manual power.
These have to be inspected bi-annually.
Lifting
Dumbwaiters
A dumbwaiter is a small freight elevator or lift intended to carry food. Dumbwaiters found within modern structures, including both commercial, public and private buildings, are often connected between multiple floors.
Many dumbwaiters have safety features like locks to ensure that the doors won’t open unless the cab has reached that floor and come to rest. Regular inspections ensure that these safety features are providing the intended protection.
Lifting
Goods Lifts
A goods lift is an equipment to lift goods vertically in a safe way. Persons are not allowed on the lift except for loading and unloading.
Regular inspections of goods lift ensures the essential components of lifts are operating safely and correctly thus making sure our client’s assets and personnel are safe.
Lifting
Fire Fighter Lifts
In any building which is classified as high-rise or High depth building having more than 2 levels of basement, there shall be provided at least one firefighters lift.
Periodic Inspections of these lifts are very important to ensure the safety of passengers as well as safety of assets in case of any fire accident.
Lifting
Platform Lifts / Lifts for Disabled
In simple terms, a platform lift is an equipment, much like an elevator, provides assistance to people with disabilities.
Regular inspections of these platforms will ensure that all parts and features are operational and in good working condition.
