MEWP, Boom Lift and Manbasket Inspection in Jubail

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. Jubail Industrial City hosts the world's largest petrochemical complexes, requiring rigorous lifting and heavy-equipment compliance.

MEWP & Manlift Inspection in Jubail: local context

Lifting equipment in Jubail Industrial City often works inside access-controlled plants, so contractors are regularly asked for a valid inspection report and tag before a crane, hoist or forklift is allowed through the gate. EES carries out third-party inspection at your plant, yard or quayside, plans visits around operating schedules, and issues clear reports and tags that suit gate and site-entry checks.

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.
