This lifting gear inspection checklist makes lifting gear inspections easy and organised for everyone.

Lifting gear is some of the most important gear on any industrial site. When referring to 'lifting gear', people often mean different things. Lifting gear can be generalised for meaning any of the below categories:

• Lifting rigging such as wire ropes and wire slings
• Lifting accessories including spreader bars and forklift extensions
• Lifting devices such as winches and hoists
• Lifting related equipment such as personal transfer baskets

For the purpose of this particular lifting gear inspection checklist and procedure, we will be focusing on lifting devices such as winches and hoists.

If you're looking for more rigging equipment related checklists and procedures, we also have a specific rigging equipment inspection checklist here.
