FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Lifting gears fall under the category of lifting equipment accessories, and they must be certified every six months or periodically. Shackles, wire ropes, slings, hooks, webbing slings, eye bolts, grommets, and other items are examples of lifting equipment.
Pad eyes or lifting lugs can be certified visually, through NDT testing, or by demonstrating that they meet load testing criteria. Every testing technique adheres strictly to the code and condition requirements unique to the clients and project specifications.
Solid test weights are not used in offshore lifting inspections due to access constraints and transportation/handling challenges; instead, cargo crane load testing uses water-filled weight bags.
