Why should your equipment receive regular Thorough Examinations?

It might become tempting to save a little time and money by delaying your truck’s next Thorough Examination. After all, nobody ever checks them, do they??

Think again.

It's crucial to ensure your lifting equipment has valid Reports of Thorough Examination.

Imagine one of your operators loses control of their lift truck, striking high-level racking, or even worse, a colleague working nearby.?

An enforcing investigator would want to see a copy of the Report of Thorough Examination for the truck involved – as well as all of your other trucks, and probably maintenance documents too.

Whether you buy your lifting equipment or hire it, long term or short term, you have a legal – and moral – responsibility to ensure it has a current Report of Thorough Examination.
