Safe Lifting Program
Tech North offers a Safe Lifting Program to help companies and individuals comply with legal requirements. As an independent party, we take on a significant portion of this responsibility.
On-Site Inspections & Load Testing
Using our mobile rig, we conduct on-site load testing and certification—quarterly for tackle and bi-annually for lifting machinery. All details are carefully recorded and filed for traceability. Minor repairs can be carried out on-site, while failed units will be marked with a red tag indicating: “FAILED – Do Not Use.”
Beam Load Testing
Our stationary test rig is engineered and certified to withstand up to 20 tons, utilizing dead-weight for optimal dynamic test results. Meanwhile, our mobile test rig features a hydraulic cylinder and pump, allowing for both dynamic and static testing of loads up to 10 tons.
Important Reminder: Traceability is Crucial for Safe Lifting
All details, tasks performed, and findings are carefully recorded on a job card and securely filed for five years in compliance with OHS and SANS regulations.
