Lifting Equipment & Rigging Inspections

Our inspection services cover lifting slings, chain assemblies, shackles, hooks, lifting points, plate clamps, turnbuckles, lifting beams, spreader bars, lever hoists, chain blocks, and other lifting accessories used throughout industrial workplaces.

Detailed inspection reports identify defects, wear, corrosion, deformation, missing markings, and compliance issues, allowing equipment owners to make informed maintenance and replacement decisions.

Chain Sling Inspections & Certification

Inspection and certification of Grade 80 and Grade 100 chain slings, chain assemblies, shortening clutches, master links, hooks, and associated lifting components. Our inspections assess wear, elongation, deformation, cracking, corrosion, and identification markings to ensure lifting equipment remains fit for service and compliant with operational requirements.

Synthetic Sling Inspections

Inspection and certification of polyester webbing slings, endless round slings, lifting straps, and synthetic lifting equipment. Equipment is assessed for cuts, abrasion, heat damage, chemical exposure, UV degradation, stitching defects, and load-bearing integrity. Detailed reports assist clients in maintaining safe lifting operations and equipment compliance.

Shackle, Hook & Lifting Accessory Inspections

Safe Lifting Australia provides inspection and certification services for bow shackles, dee shackles, swivel hooks, eye bolts, eye nuts, lifting points, beam clamps, plate clamps, turnbuckles, and other critical lifting accessories. Our inspections focus on wear, deformation, thread condition, compliance markings, and serviceability.

Our inspectors assess and certify harnesses, lanyards, inertia reels, anchor points, static lines, davit systems, rescue equipment, and fall arrest equipment. Height safety inspections assist businesses in maintaining compliance with Australian Standards and ensuring equipment remains suitable for continued use.

Safe Lifting Australia provides proof load testing and certification services for lifting beams, spreader bars, monorails, anchor points, davits, lifting lugs, crane attachments, and engineered lifting devices.

Electronic registers improve equipment traceability, inspection visibility, audit readiness, and lifecycle management across multiple sites and operational locations.
