Kiwa inspects all kinds of cranes and other lifting devices. We carry out inspections at every level, ranging from design review, installation, manufacturing, modernization, maintenance and in-service inspections. Many inspections are mandatory and require a formal record; others are commercially driven to meet specific customer needs.

We give you skilled and experienced staff, combined with practical procedures and clear-cut documentation. Integrity and respect for our partners are imperative for Kiwa and we work very closely with our customers.

Benefits of Inspection of Cranes and Lifting Devices

Regulatory compliance

There are European directives to be fulfilled and, for control of devices in operation, there are a variety of national inspection requirements to be followed. Kiwa is a notified body for many European directives.
