Lifting
The Lifting Department has around 250 engineers and technicians who are responsible for the inspections of lifting and hoisting apparatus and related appliances. Some of these inspections are regulation linked; others are not rendered obligatory by any regulation. As an External Service for Technical Inspection at the Work Place, Vinçotte checks and inspects, as it were, everything that goes up and down and opens and closes. So we’re not talking just about lifts, but also cranes and forklift trucks, automatic doors, and navigation locks. For all this lifting and hoisting equipment, we can propose a modular approach that is entirely customised to your needs. This approach embraces all technical and administrative support, including swift reporting with a clear overview of all inspection points or reference to the applicable checklists.
