Annual Lift Inspection Program
Our annual lift inspections are based on the ALI/ANSI guidelines for recommended lift inspections. Inspections include:
- Record manufacturer name, model, serial number and load capacity
- Examine structural components of lift
- Check electrical system for proper function
- Check hydraulic system for proper function, including piping, tubing, hoses and fittings
- Check arm function including adapters, pads and telescoping stops for swing arms
- Check arm restraint systems for proper functioning
- Verify the safety shutoff on lifts having overhead structures
- Check for proper tracking and winding of equalization system
- Adjust lift chains/cables. Partial visual inspection of chains or cables will be done (this inspection covers visible portions only)
- Operate lift and check operation of lift lock systems
- Check all points requiring lubrication and lubricate if necessary
- Confirm adequacy of oil level at fully raised position where applicable
- Check all fastening devices for tightness and make necessary adjustments
- Check overall function of lift controls and operation
- Low pressure in ground lifts will be pressure tested for underground leakage
- Inspection report will be generated based on inspection
- CAD drawing will be generated based on inspection
Lift will be stickered with a numerical inspection sticker if passing inspection.
Upon completion of inspections, you will be provided with a complete lift inspection report, itemized by lift number. Non-passing issues will be coded to match our accompanying reference list, which describes the issue in more detail, and explains why it may pose a safety issue. You will also receive a CAD drawing of your shop with lifts numbered and matching your report for ease of identification, and if you opt for it, a complete repair quote to certify any non-passing lifts.
We strive to make the process straightforward and thorough, and you will be armed with the information you need to make equipment decisions with safety in mind.
