MEWP, Boom Lift and Manbasket Inspection in Al Khobar
Mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and personnel baskets put people at height, so a leaking holding valve, a failed tilt or overload sensor or a cracked weld is a fall hazard, not just downtime. EES inspects and function-tests manlifts such as boom lifts and scissor lifts, suspended platforms and crane-suspended manbaskets, and documents each unit for site access. A dense hub of contractors, service companies and logistics operators serving the Eastern Province energy sector.
MEWP & Manlift Inspection in Al Khobar: local context
Al Khobar is better known as a base for contractors, service companies and logistics operators than as a plant town, so lifting equipment is often kept in yards and workshops, including around the Al Khobar Industrial Area, before it is mobilised to client sites across the Eastern Province. EES inspectors typically visit those yards, examine each item against manufacturer data and recognised standards, and issue reports and inspection tags ahead of the mobilisation date.

What does a MEWP inspection include?＋
A structural and visual examination of the chassis, boom or scissor arms, pins and welds; function tests of every control including the ground controls and emergency lowering; checks of tilt, overload and limit devices; and a comparison of the platform marking with the manufacturer's capacity and operating limits. Depth and interval follow the manufacturer's manual and your client's scheme.
What is Saudi Aramco GI 7.027, and do I need a manbasket certificate to lift people with a crane?＋
Saudi Aramco requirements such as GI 7.027 address personnel baskets suspended from cranes on Aramco work; we confirm the current revision and project conditions with you before we attend. OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and many client schemes allow crane personnel lifting only where a MEWP, scaffold or other conventional access is more hazardous or not possible, and expect the basket to be inspected and proof tested and the crane, rigging and lift plan reviewed first.
