Service & inspections

Servicing

Whether you own or operate cranes, lifting or hoisting equipment, you need to ensure that they are safe, and in compliance with the Occupation Health and Safety Act section 18 of 1993 driven machinery. That is where our crane, hoisting and lifting equipment inspections assist you in achieving this.

As a leading service provider, we are accredited to perform conformity assessments, as well as statutory and voluntary inspections on cranes, hoisting and lifting equipment across South Africa. We can also provide training for operators of cranes and elevating platforms in accordance with local and international standards.

With Stahls Mobile Servicing app we will have the power to set up recurring scheduled maintenance tasks triggered by either date intervals, meter readings, event and even specified alarm-based triggers and have the CMMS automatically notify you of any upcoming work.

Load testing and inspection of overhead cranes is required by Occupation Health and Safety Act section 18 of 1993 driven machinery standards and manufacturers. It is the purpose of the annual condition inspection to ensure that the overall structural, mechanical and electric components of the equipment have been maintained in a safe and serviceable condition and are functioning properly according to the original equipment manufacturers specifications.

It is the purpose of the load test to ensure by actual overloading that the equipment is capable of safely lifting and moving the rated load through all designed motions.
