Lifting and handling
Why have your lifting and handling equipment inspected?
Cranes, hoists, forklifts, gantry cranes, winches, jib cranes, lifts... Lifting and handling equipment is essential for moving, lifting or positioning heavy loads with precision, whether on construction sites or industrial sites.
However, even the slightest malfunction of this equipment can have serious consequences in terms of human safety, regulatory compliance and operational efficiency: risk of crushing or falling loads; workplace accidents; damage to equipment or infrastructure; penalties for non-compliance, etc.
To prevent these risks, Tunisian regulations require mandatory periodic inspections of all lifting equipment and handling equipment to ensure operator safety and compliance with regulations.
