Your safety partner for your lifting equipment
In lifting operations, equipment reliability is essential. Chain, wire rope and textile slings, lifting beams, clamps, lifting points and shackles are subjected to significant stresses every day. Undetected wear, deformation or cracking can compromise the safety of users and handled loads.
To help companies manage their equipment, LIFTEUROP offers an inspection, maintenance, repair and compliance restoration service for lifting equipment and accessories, available directly on site or at its workshops in Wiltz, Luxembourg.
The objective: to maintain a reliable, monitored lifting equipment fleet that is ready for regulatory inspections.
Thanks to the experience of its technical teams, LIFTEUROP can carry out a complete assessment of lifting equipment and accessory fleets.
The technicians are trained in the specific features of the various types of equipment and can inspect, in particular:
The inspection makes it possible to identify any signs of wear, damage or anomalies that could affect the proper functioning of the equipment.
Where necessary, the technicians can also recommend suitable repair or compliance restoration work.
To reduce equipment downtime and simplify company organisation, LIFTEUROP provides a mobile inspection and repair service.
Once the appointment has been scheduled, a technician comes directly to the customer’s site.
Depending on the equipment and its condition, the service may include:
This solution allows companies to centralise inspection operations at their own site while reducing the constraints associated with transport and equipment downtime.
Equipment can also be handled at the LIFTEUROP workshops in Wiltz.
Once the equipment has been received, the teams can provide a complete service including dismantling, equipment assessment and preparation of an inspection report.
When repairs are required, a quotation can be prepared before the work is carried out.
When the equipment is delivered or collected, various documents accompany the service, such as marking indicating the inspection date, details of the work carried out, the inspection certificate and an update of the maintenance logbook when provided.
This traceability facilitates fleet monitoring and contributes to more rigorous management of lifting equipment.
Lifting equipment must undergo regular inspections to verify its condition and suitability for safe use.
LIFTEUROP supports its customers throughout the life cycle of their lifting equipment and accessories, particularly by monitoring inspections and reminding them of upcoming deadlines.
This approach makes it possible to better anticipate inspections, identify equipment with anomalies earlier and organise any necessary repairs before they result in unexpected downtime.
A regularly inspected equipment fleet also helps companies prepare more confidently for an inspection by an authorised inspection body.
Some types of damage are not always visible to the naked eye: chain slings.
This non-destructive testing method can reveal certain surface-breaking or near-surface discontinuities and cracks in ferromagnetic materials.
The principle consists of creating a magnetic flux in the component being inspected. When a discontinuity is present, the magnetic field is disturbed. Applying an indicating medium containing metallic particles then makes the area with the anomaly visible.
This type of inspection helps identify defects that are difficult to detect during a simple visual examination and is therefore an important part of monitoring chain slings subjected to significant loads.
Systematic replacement of equipment is not always necessary.
When a repair can be carried out in accordance with the applicable technical requirements, it can extend the equipment’s service life and optimise fleet management.
LIFTEUROP’s approach is therefore based on several complementary stages: inspecting the equipment, identifying defects, determining any corrective actions required and returning to service only equipment that meets safety requirements.
This approach combines safety, cost control and equipment durability.
Beyond one-off equipment inspections, LIFTEUROP offers support designed to simplify the day-to-day management of lifting equipment fleets.
With its engineering department, specialised technicians and workshops in Wiltz, the company has expertise covering the design, use, inspection and repair of lifting accessories.
The mobile service also provides a practical response to the constraints of industrial sites: less equipment transport, on-site intervention whenever possible and a single contact capable of supporting the company in monitoring its equipment.
The objective remains the same: to keep equipment reliable, safe and available for lifting operations.
