Coil lifter inspection

Coil lifter inspection

Coil lifter inspection

Coil lifters are critical components in industries such as steel manufacturing, paper production, and automotive assembly. They are designed to safely and efficiently lift coils of materials like metal or paper rolls from one location to another within a facility. The integrity and reliability of these lifters directly impact the safety of personnel and equipment, as well as the quality of operations.

The inspection process for coil lifters is essential to ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations. This service involves thorough visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and load testing to confirm that each lifter meets all necessary criteria for safe operation. The inspection ensures that any potential defects or wear are identified early, preventing accidents and costly downtime.

Our team of experienced engineers uses advanced NDT techniques such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, and radiographic examination. These methods allow us to inspect the internal structure without causing damage to the lifter. Additionally, we conduct static load tests to verify the structural integrity under expected operating conditions. The inspection also includes checks for corrosion resistance, wear patterns, and alignment.

Compliance with international standards is paramount in this service. We adhere strictly to ISO 13758-2:2015, which specifies the design and construction of lifting appliances, including coil lifters. This standard ensures that our inspections meet rigorous quality benchmarks, providing peace of mind for our clients.

The inspection process is tailored to the specific requirements of each client. We work closely with customers to understand their unique needs and challenges. Whether it's a routine inspection or a more comprehensive assessment, we provide a service that aligns perfectly with industry best practices.
