Tips and tricks for safe use

To ensure that you can use stainless steel lifting equipment safely and effectively, here are some tips:

  • Regular maintenance: Perform regular inspections and maintenance to ensure lifting equipment is in optimal condition. Check for wear, damage, corrosion, and other signs of ageing.
  • Calculate correct load: Make sure you correctly understand the tonnage and specifications of the stainless-steel lifting equipment and that it is suitable for the intended load.
  • Safe working load: Adhere to the safe working load (SWL) of the lifting equipment and never exceed it. This is crucial for the safety of the lifting process.
  • Correct fastening: Ensure correct fastening of the lifting equipment to the object to be hoisted. Use proper hooks, shackles, and connectors.
  • Inspect lifting points and shackles: Regularly check the condition of lifting points, shackles, and other attachment points to ensure they are not damaged.
  • Use suitable protection: Additional protection may be required in corrosive environments. For example, consider using protective coatings or materials.
  • Training and certification: Ensure that operators of lifting equipment are properly trained and certified to use it.
  • Maintain documentation: Keep documentation of the stainless-steel lifting equipment, including certificates and maintenance records, so that you can always trace the history of the equipment.
  • Inspection before use: Perform an inspection before each use to ensure no new damage or wear has occurred since the last inspection.
  • Compliance with regulations: Strictly follow the regulations and guidelines related to lifting and safety in your specific sector.
