Peter Riedel GmbH tests hoists and crane winches directly at the facility. Defects go into the test protocol. If necessary, maintenance or repair follows.
The crane winch test includes technical inspection and documentation of the result. In addition, we inspect chain hoists and lifting gear such as slings, lifting straps, or lashing belts as separate hoisting equipment.
Complete crane installations are handled separately. After the inspection you will receive a documented finding. We note which deficiencies exist and which technical step is next. If a repair is not sensible, we advise on procurement and commissioning of a new lifting or pulling winch.
We assign operating manual, previous inspections and changes to the device. We check whether the documents are plausible and fit the operation of the winch.
We examine condition, supporting structure, rollers, load-bearing construction, and safety devices. We test functionalities and brakes within the defined scope. In doing so, we document damage, wear, corrosion, and changes to the equipment.
We record the scope of inspection, results, and any defects in the test protocol. If work is required, we clarify maintenance, repair, or replacement of the winch.
Device and supporting structure
We examine frames, fastenings, rollers, and accessible parts of the supporting structure for damage, wear, corrosion, and changes.
Cables, chains, and slings
We inspect testing medium such as ropes and chains as well as existing load hooks for wear, corrosion, deformations and other detectable damages.
Functions and brakes
We check operating functions, sequence of movements, and brakes. We perform load tests when they are necessary for the device and the defined inspection scope.
Protection and safety devices
We check existing protective and safety devices for completeness, condition, and function. Deviations are recorded in the inspection report.
The certificate from Haus der Technik confirms the qualification as an expert for winches, lifting, and pulling devices. We keep the crane and hoist qualification up to date through ongoing refresher courses since 2014.
We supply and install winch systems, Commission them, and handle maintenance and repair. This gives us hands-on knowledge of the technology from ongoing operation.
Documented winch projects extend from Germany through Austria and France to Norway. The systems date from 2008 to 2023.
Determine equipment type, quantity, location, accessibility, documents and inspection purpose to assess the effort. With these details we clarify the scope of the inspection and prepare your offer.
Peter Riedel conducts the winch inspection himself. As a person qualified for inspections, he is qualified for winches, lifting, and pulling devices. The certificates come from Haus der Technik.
For preparation we need the type of equipment, manufacturer, location and the purpose of the inspection. Useful are operating manuals, previous inspection records, and details of changes or repairs.
You will receive a documented inspection report with type, scope and result of the inspection, as well as the name and signature of the qualified person. For certain power-driven rope and chain hoists we also record the result in the inspection log.
We document the defect in the inspection report and classify the next technical step. Depending on the findings, we undertake maintenance, repair, or the procurement of a new winch.
Tell us the type of device, manufacturer, location and reason for the inspection. We clarify the scope of the inspection and coordinate the deployment with you.
