Lifting Device Inspection

Accredited Inspections for Safe Lifting Operations and Reliable Performance

Lifting equipment is used every day across a wide range of industries where safety, reliability, and operational efficiency are essential. Whether the equipment consists of cranes, elevators, lifting platforms, industrial lifting systems, or amusement ride components, it is continuously exposed to loads and stresses that can affect performance and safety over time. Regular inspections are therefore a critical part of preventive maintenance and risk management, helping organizations reduce the likelihood of accidents, equipment failures, and costly downtime.

Accreditation is a mandatory requirement for organizations performing inspections of lifting equipment in Sweden. Issued by the national accreditation body SWEDAC, accreditation confirms that an inspection provider has the competence, procedures, and impartiality necessary to carry out inspections in accordance with applicable regulations, standards, and industry requirements. Working with an accredited inspection company provides assurance that inspections are performed using recognized methods and in compliance with legal requirements.
DEKRA is one of Sweden’s leading providers of lifting equipment inspections, carrying out more than one hundred thousand inspections every year. Our experienced inspection engineers assess a wide range of equipment, from industrial cranes and elevators to complex lifting systems and large-scale amusement attractions. We perform both periodic inspections and inspections prior to commissioning to help ensure safe and reliable operation throughout the equipment’s lifecycle.
During a lifting equipment inspection, critical components such as load-bearing structures, safety systems, mechanical parts, control systems, and operational functions are carefully evaluated. Any deficiencies or signs of wear can be identified and addressed before they develop into serious safety concerns or operational disruptions.
With regular inspections from DEKRA, organizations gain a trusted partner that helps maintain regulatory compliance, improve workplace safety, and ensure that lifting equipment continues to operate safely, efficiently, and reliably for years to come.
The construction industry engages us because we can provide a unique service that actually helps them to both save and make money.
