The safety of your elevating work platform relies on three essential yet often confused types of verification. Discover their differences to ensure compliance of your working at height equipment and prevent accidents.
Daily Elevating Work Platform Inspection: Pre-use Verification
The pre-use inspection is carried out by the operator before each use of the elevating work platform. This visual check specifically targets hydraulic leaks, faulty electrical wiring and the operation of safety devices such as emergency stop buttons. Though quick, it is crucial and constitutes the first step in ensuring safe use of the elevating work platform.
Elevating Work Platform Maintenance: Essential Preventive Upkeep
Scheduled maintenance follows manufacturer recommendations and requires the intervention of specialised technicians. This thorough upkeep of your elevating work platform includes lubricating mechanisms, checking fluid levels and preventively replacing wear parts. Regular maintenance optimises equipment performance, prevents costly breakdowns and significantly extends service life.
Regulatory Periodic Inspection of Elevating Work Platforms
The mandatory periodic inspection is conducted by certified organisations according to the frequency imposed by lifting equipment regulations. This comprehensive technical inspection verifies the structural integrity of your elevating work platform, the reliability of lifting mechanisms and compliance with current safety standards. This documented verification officially certifies that your elevating work platform meets current legal requirements.
Platform Safety: Complementary Triple Protection
These three levels of verification form a complete system for the safety of your elevating work platform and work at height: daily inspection detects immediate problems, preventive maintenance ensures technical reliability, and periodic inspection guarantees regulatory compliance. Elevating work platform fleet managers who adhere to this triple approach protect their operators whilst optimising the profitability and longevity of their lifting equipment.
