THOROUGH INSPECTION
All machines being operated in the UK must have a thorough inspection carried out every 6
months in accordance with LOLER Regulations 1998 and a Certificate of Thorough
Inspection produced by a competent person. Enclosed here is a sample of the Inspection
Procedure followed by an approved UpRight Engineer and the Certificate of Thorough
Examination (CTE) which will be issued .
When the machine has passed its test the machine will be issued with a sticker showing the
Certificate number and the date of next Examination. A copy of the Certificate is available
upon request.
Contact UpRight Group for further details.
What can go wrong ?
Very little in short ! The mechanism is very simple and have proven itself very reliable in the
field. If the fault is not relating to the slew gear or the hydraulic motor the only thing that can
go wrong is that one of the 3 steel blocks welded on break loose and the slew does not stop.
You will now be able to slew continually and
eventually rip of the hoses and cables. The only
way to solve this problem is to split the machine
and weld the slew stop back on. If the slew is
jamming up Check hydraulic pressure. Apply
plenty of lubrication to ensure that the slew stop
ring has not got jammed. Again if the problem
does not disappear you have to split the machine
to investigate further.
