Technical and legal compliance
Industrial machinery brings a number of obligations for its owners, the duty holders.
Bespoke handling and lifting solutions are invariably designed to meet highly specific and challenging use cases. These systems often play a central role in keeping people, processes and assets safe.
Mechanical handling and lifting equipment is generally covered by PUWER and LOLER regulations, plus PSSR for fluid power applications.
Specifically within the nuclear sector, mechanical handling and lifting often forms part of ONR safety cases and site licence conditions, which demand that equipment is regularly maintained and thoroughly assessed.
We will ensure:
- That your equipment is reliable.
- That your business is compliant.
- That your people stay safe and out of harm’s way.
Multi-disciplinary expertise
Our engineers cover the multiple disciplines of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, controls (EC&I) and safety.
Our on-site installation engineers have an enviable track record of commissioning bespoke handling and lifting solutions of all shapes and sizes.
It’s vital that those engineering solutions are kept in the very best working condition. It’s essential that any repairs are performed quickly to minimise downtime.
We can also design a servicing and maintenance plan tailored to your specific needs – reducing the risk of downtime, improving cost control and visibility, while keeping your processes running.
