Certification Requirements for Handling Equipment
Certification Requirements for Handling Equipment
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any concrete requirements to certification requirements for mechanical handling equipment that is of foldable or of collapsable designs.
For instance, do I need to re-certify an A-Frame Gantry if I take it down after I reassemble it? Same would go for mobile Floor Cranes and Mobile Jib Cranes.
Thanks

RE: Certification Requirements for Handling Equipment
Based on my limited knowledge of cranes, you have to re-certify them after changing anything related to the structure. At least where I'm at, we have to re-certify jib cranes if we unbolt them from the floor and move them. I guess it would depend too on what exactly you're doing to the equipment. Folding/collapsible designs seem completely different than something you have to take apart and reassemble.
I also might just call up a local crane shop. They could probably tell you what kind of certification you might need as well as be a qualified party to do such a certification.
