In factories, large or small enterprises, service stations, construction areas, even in workshops, load lifting elevators of various capacities are used according to the characteristics and needs of the work. Hoisting and lifting cranes, tower cranes, mobile cranes, vehicle lifts, hoists, platforms, forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers, lifts, freight elevators and many more similar vehicles that include lifting and transmitting machines. All these machines are generally used to lift, move and unload a load in the areas where they are used.
Freight lifts carry some risks due to the heavy load they carry. For example, if the rope or chain of the lift breaks, or its mechanical connections become dislodged, the loads it carries may fall or tip over. Due to leaks in the hydraulic systems of the lift, or breakdowns in the braking system, or due to the loading above their carrying capacity, the loads may fall or tip over. Some accidents may even occur due to the failure of the warning systems on the lifts. In order not to come across such a bad situation, the freight lifts should be checked and inspected periodically.
According to the provisions of the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment in force, if there is no contrary criteria in the standards, hoist lifts are obliged to lift and keep at least the 1,25 floor of the declared load safely. In addition, there must be robust load brakes to keep the load in the air.
The persons who will carry out the inspections and inspections of the hoists must be impartial, independent and reliable. For this reason, controls to be carried out by third parties or organizations other than those who design, sell, supply, assemble, use or maintain the lifts are valid.

If the control and inspection intervals and the criteria to be taken are not included in the standards, controls and inspections are carried out in compliance with the intervals and criteria stipulated by the company producing the lifts.
