When it comes to lifting heavy loads at work, safety is a paramount priority. While regulations and legislation may not hold much popularity, they make working environments far safer – and that’s always a good thing. Lorry loader cranes present clear hazards to personal safety, so you must follow industry guidelines to ensure yours remain safe to use. By following the recommended frequency for services and inspections, and all subsequent hydraulic crane repairs, you give yourself and your employees complete peace of mind.
