Our Practices
Internal Audits at LGHC
We carry out an annual program of internal audits at each distribution center, looking at both operational and administrative practices and procedures. These are designed to supplement the independently regulated audits required by ISO 9002 requirements.
Apart from monitoring our administrative efficiency, we also carry out in-depth audits of all workshop practices, examining equipment, maintenance, personnel efficiency, and safety. These audits are carried out by an independent Technical Management Team, which is responsible for monitoring the quality of all our stock.
Training
The success of Lifting Gear Hire Corporation relies very much on the emphasis we place on staff training – both in-house and training seminars by our key suppliers.
Our Technical Management staff is a unique resource in the industry and experienced with lifting equipment in the U.S.
The branches provide training for all administrative and sales staff, together with comprehensive courses for distribution center personnel in our fully equipped centers. The aim is to improve safety and training skills in line with specific safety requirements, as well as to promote the effective and safe use of our lifting and moving equipment.
Practical workshop activities are presented by our Safety Administrator and Training – to our in-house staff, as well as to our customers. All of our training programs observe the latest statutory and legal requirements.
Testing
Lifting Gear Hire Corporation is proud to announce the arrival of two new pieces of safety equipment. A 125,000lb Dynamic Vertical Proof testing machine capable of dual load range testing as well as a brand new 300,000lb Dynamic horizontal Proof Test Machine measuring 72 feet long and fully equipped with a computer and Chant Datatest software, as well as fixtures for winch mounting.
These pieces of equipment were added to our distribution center in a conscious effort to always deliver the safest equipment to our customers, and now as a way for our customers to obtain safety certification to their own equipment right from Lifting Gear.
Just another way for us to make sure we put your safety first.
