Question 15

Does Uniquo inspect below-the-hook lifting devices (spreader beams, lifting frames)?

Yes, Uniquo inspects below-the-hook lifting devices such as spreader beams, lifting frames, lifting beams, and other custom lifting attachments used in material handling operations.

In the Indian context, these devices are commonly used in construction sites, fabrication yards, manufacturing plants, ports, and heavy engineering projects where large or irregular loads need to be lifted safely. Due to the critical role they play in load distribution, regular inspection is essential.

During inspection, Uniquo checks structural integrity, including beams, welds, plates, and load-bearing members for cracks, deformation, or corrosion. We also examine lifting points, shackles, pad eyes, and connection points to ensure they are secure and free from damage. Verification of Safe Working Load (SWL) markings, identification plates, and certification records is also carried out.

At Uniquo, our inspections ensure below-the-hook lifting devices remain safe, reliable, and compliant with commonly followed safety practices across Indian construction and industrial environments.
