The goal of the inspection service of the cargo handling material, is to perform visual and dimentional inspection of all materials used in the cargo handling such as: polyester straps, chain slings grade 8 and grade 10, accessories (lifting eyes, shackles, hooks, links), special equipment (spreaders, tongs, load bars), identifying damage and flaws that might compromise the safe usage and prejudice the operational availability.
The inspection of chain slings has as a reference the NBR 15516 1-2 and has as its goal to analyse if all accessories that are a part of this pack are according to the current norm, and for that we use a checklist that is available in our exclusive app for inspections and exclusive tools (chain template) and used on a daily basis (caliper and measuring tape) with those utensils we verify stretchings, twistings and flaws that this sling can show along with its use.
The inspection of polyester straps is based on NBR 15637 1-2-3 standards and aims to verify if the strap has any damage that limits its working load capacity and safety factor, such as transversal and longitudinal cuts, edge damage, fraying, chemical atacks, among others. This inspection is carefully carried out visually on the various kinds of straps available.

The inspection of special devices is based on the ASME B30.20 , NR11 and the documentation of each item such as: databook, maintenance instructions, ART, caculation memoranda among others. This analysis is made visually, dimensionally and with non-destructive testing (penetrant liquid, ultrasound, magnetic particles among others) aiming to ensure that there are no cracks in welds, deformations and other damages that may impair and limit their use.
