INSPECTION CHECKLIST
This checklist is intended to assist qualified maintenance and inspection personnel to
inspect Freightlift installations for proper installation and maintenance concerns.
 The lift should be run several times, and carriage sent to each loading level, in
unloaded condition for static inspection, and loaded condition during the dynamic
inspection. In this way, a wider variety of issues will present themselves as
actual operating conditions are duplicated as closely as possible.
 Inspection personnel should have at their disposal the tools and aids necessary
to access and observe all the components mentioned in the checklist, and be
trained to safely make these observations.
 If deficiencies are identified, they must be fixed and/or reported to the owner.
