Your safety partner for your lifting equipment
Safety in lifting and handling is essential for any company. Lifting equipment must be regularly inspected to ensure proper operation and prevent accidents. This is why Periodic General Inspection (VGP) is crucial. At LIFTEUROP, we are committed to providing a periodic inspection service that complies with current standards to ensure the safety of your lifting operations.
VGP, or Periodic General Inspection, is a mandatory inspection (imposed by Directive 2009/104/EC) aimed at verifying the condition and proper functioning of lifting equipment. It must be carried out every 12 months or more frequently depending on the type of equipment and its usage. The primary goal is to identify potential defects that could compromise safety and to ensure that the equipment remains compliant with current standards.
Regular inspections prevent unexpected failures that can cause accidents or production interruptions.
VGP is a regulatory requirement. Non-compliance can result in penalties and liabilities in the event of an accident.
Regularly inspected and maintained equipment will have a longer lifespan and offer optimal performance.
Examination of the general condition of the equipment, detection of corrosion, cracks, or any other visible defects.
Verification of the correct operation of all parts, the mobility of components, etc.
Measurement of each component using calipers, tape measures, gauges, etc.
Application of a static or dynamic load to verify the actual lifting capacity.
A detailed report is provided to the customer, including observations, recommendations, and necessary repairs if needed.
