Frequently Asked Questions:

Why is regular servicing of hydraulic jacking equipment important?

Regular servicing ensures that hydraulic jacks operate safely and efficiently, extending their lifespan, and maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

Manual hoisting equipment and hydraulic jacks should be serviced at least once a year. However, more frequent inspections and servicing may be necessary depending on the frequency of use and the working environment.

A typical service includes inspecting all mechanical components both externally and internally, checking for worn out components, lubricating moving parts, examining the brake mechanism, post load testing the appliance and ensuring all safety features are operational.

The service of hydraulic bottle jack begins with a visual examination to check for visible damage, wear, or corrosion, and to ensure identification labels and safety information are intact. The hydraulic fluid level and quality are assessed, and any signs of contamination or degradation necessitate a fluid replacement. All hydraulic components, including the pump, cylinders, and hoses, are inspected for leaks or wear, and the lifting capacity is tested to verify it meets specifications. Finally, any worn or damaged parts are replaced, safety mechanisms are verified, and detailed records of the inspection and maintenance activities are documented.

Servicing should be carried out by trained and certified professionals who understand the specifics of the equipment and relevant safety standards.

Regular servicing of hydraulic and manual hoisting equipment is essential for compliance with both LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations).
