The inspection cycle for fully self-propelled scissor lifts is typically once a year, but the specific frequency needs to be adjusted based on usage frequency, working environment, and local regulations.
Regulatory Requirements: According to China's Special Equipment Safety Law and related standards (such as GB/T 27597-2011), aerial work platforms are classified as special equipment and require periodic inspection. Generally, a mandatory safety inspection by a third-party testing agency is required annually, with a certificate of conformity issued.
Usage Frequency: If the equipment is used frequently (e.g., more than 8 hours per day), it is recommended to conduct a self-inspection or a third-party spot check every six months, focusing on key components such as the hydraulic system, scissor lift structure, and electrical components.
Environmental Impact: For equipment used in harsh environments (such as high humidity or corrosive locations), the inspection interval should be shortened to 6 months, with additional special inspections on rust prevention and insulation performance.
Daily Maintenance: In addition to periodic inspections, operators should perform daily pre-start checks (such as oil level, tire pressure, and emergency braking function) and record them in a maintenance log. Hydraulic oil filters, wire ropes, and other wear parts need to be replaced or lubricated monthly.
Special Circumstances: If the equipment has experienced a collision, overload, or major repair, it should be immediately taken out of service and a temporary inspection should be requested. It should only be put back into use after ensuring safety.
